7/21    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cold_War_pilot_defections
        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

3/26    Things I learned from History: Lincoln was photographed with
        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt
        was a lesbian!!!  Nerdy looking Ben Franklin was a suspected
        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

6/12    Brilliant! Police can bar recruits for having high IQ scores
        http://csua.org/u/lqs (NYTimes)
        \_ But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to
           27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored
           with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.

5/28    Former White House press sect comes out with book bashing
        his old boss.  I feel like we're trapped in an alternate
        universe where I read the newspaper and think immediately
        'well OF COURSE I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW THIS STUFF' when
        I read the newspaper and that The Onion should give up, since

        \_ Armor piercing shells from Iran can do that ya know.
           \_ AP from Syria works fine, too, and those AP shells smuggled
              out of Afghanistan are da BOMB.
              \_ Out of Afghanistan?  No.  They're going _into_ Afghanistan

WABC Radio 4/19/04 John Bachelor Posted on 04/19/2004 7:56:24 PM PDT by playball0 WABCs radios Bachelor & John Loftis sp reporting Syria gave Iraqs chemical WMD to AlQaeda. Captured trucks in Jordan with chemicals with Vx attack would have killed 20,000. Post Reply Private Reply To 1 View Replies To: playball0 Let it be Paris because they say WMD dont exist so obviously it cant hurt them. Or maybe after the attack they can let the inspections work for the next 12 years to see if it was an actual attack, then they can surrender as usual. The document indicates that 13,000 chemical bombs were dropped by the Iraqi Air Force between 1983 and 1988, while Iraq has declared that 19,500 bombs were consumed during this period. The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tonnes. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume these quantities are now unaccounted for. Post Reply Private Reply To 1 View Replies To: July 4th they also talk about stuff no one else will touch, so where are you supposed to get that kind of information, from CNN? Post Reply Private Reply To 1 View Replies To: oceanview Notice how this whole Jordan story is totally buried by the media? I hate the way the elite media is so jealous of his success and wont give him ink space anymore! We should at once deliver an ultimatum to Syria that they first, turn over all WMD to the USA, and second, cooperate with unlimited inspection for WMD by the USA, or the USA will within five days declare war on Syria, period, end of story. Besides, the Boeing 727 has a maximum range around 2500 miles and that is very much stretching it, with a 1800 mile range more likely. It isnt like they can gas these things up in Sudan somewhere and non-stop fly to London. Update by John Loftus WABC 2004-04-19 Last month 3 trucks from Syria crossed the Kaim Cross point went 75 miles into Jordan to make a transfer of 7 1/2 tons of nerve gas. It is possible President Assad may not have known it may have been authorized by the Defence Minister. Syria had decided to get rid of the WMD at first tried to send it to Sudan but Israeli secret service got wind of it so they gave it to Al Qaeda. Post Reply Private Reply To 40 View Replies To: oolatec Syria may have the capacity also. I figured it was VX- its the only chemical agent likely to be in Islamist hands which could cause 20,000 casualties like that in the attack described. After all, I didnt want it to turn out that the agent was some sort of minor chemical weapon which could have been produced in some shack somewhere.
