I thought this news was interesting:
Hamas took over the first floor of the building that the BBC offices in Gaza last night and fired rockets from there, trapping the journalists above. Despite the fact that their reporters have now escaped the building, the BBC has so far not said anything about this.
So, the BBC reporters were used as human shields and yet they say nothing about it when given the chance.

N. Korea: Priority to build up nuclear deterrent

North Korea said Saturday its priority is to build up its "nuclear deterrent force" to protect itself and not to normalize diplomatic ties with the United States.

Pyongyang last week said it would not give up its nuclear weapons until after Washington alters its "hostile policy" toward its government and proves it does not pose an atomic threat.

The cryptic statement was the first to lay out the communist nation's nuclear stance since the last round of international disarmament talks stalled in December.

Job at the FBI

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.
After all the background checks, interviews And testing were done, there were 3 finalists; Two men and a woman.

For the final test, the FBI agents took one of The men to a large metal door and handed Him a gun.

'We must know that you will follow your Instructions no matter what the circumstances.

Inside the room you will find your wife sitting In a chair .. . . Kill her!'

The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could Never shoot my wife.'

The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man For this job. Take your wife and go home.'

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was Quiet for about 5 minutes.

The man came out with tears in his eyes, 'I tried, But I can't kill my wife.' The agent said, 'You don't Have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.'

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the Same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the Gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one After another. They heard screaming, crashing, Banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was Quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the Woman, wiping the sweat from her brow.

'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to Beat him to death with the chair.'

MORAL:

Women are crazy. Don't mess with them

Wal-Mart has everything
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, 'My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor.'
'Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money,' Mike replies. 'There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.
It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor.'
So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.
He deposits ten dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.
Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:
'You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart.'
That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.
He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog , urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.
Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.
The computer prints the following:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!
Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

"Fatah gunmen took over the roofs of the Shawa and Hosari Tower—which houses the Ramattan news agency, the BBC, and Al-Jazeera, among other media outlets..."

"The gunmen clashed with Hamas fighters on the ground outside the building, trapping the journalists in the middle of heavy shooting. The BBC, relying on its correspondent inside the Shawa and Hosari Tower, reported the same scenario.

Shahdi al-Kashif, managing editor of Ramattan, told CPJ the clashes broke out around 6 p.m. local time. About 40 journalists in the Shawa and Hosari Tower congregated in Ramattan’s offices on the ninth floor, he said, adding that the building sustained extensive damage and vehicles belonging to the journalists were destroyed."

HMM: “A protest against Israeli operations in Gaza was called off because not enough Palestinians showed up.”

“So not only are the Saudis and others dragging their feet, but the meeting on Gaza will be a side show to more pressing business - an economic summit. What we are seeing is a realignment of Middle East interests.”

It has occurred to me that the no matter how the showdown with the global jihad turns out, the jihad's numerous dhimmis and collaborators are doomed.

If we win, as many Muslims as possible will be spared; for that is our nature. Justice must be ruthlessly and thoroughly visited on their traitorous facilitators, however, since no society that values its own survival can tolerate genocidal treason, let alone allow it to flourish.

Similarly, in the unlikely event the Caliphate wins, the tools' usefulness will be at end. Having proven their treacherous and depraved nature, they will have become a dangerous liability. Islamic justice being what its is, they will be exterminated to the last moonbat.

I saw tonight on a pro-Arab news show that Qatar(pronounced gutter, haha) is calling for Israeli leaders to be brought up on war crimes or some shit. I take that with a grain of salt.

A young boy was repeatedly told to go to bed, but he didn't want to. In exasperation, his father told his son, "If you go get ready for bed now, I'll be up in a few minutes to read you a bedtime story."

Thankfully, this worked. The son raced upstairs and got ready for bed. As this was happening, the father went through some books, and found a book of stories about Australia. Unfortunately, the father didn't realize that this was his son's least favorite storybook.

When the father came upstairs, and the son saw what book had been chosen, he was naturally disappointed. He asked his father, "What did you bring that book, which I didn't want to be read to from out of, about down under, up for?"

The Revolutionary War was over and General Washington called the troops together to address them saying: "Men, the country must be kept safe. Accordingly, I am ordering that the active duty regulars are to stand duty from Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday the National Guard and Reserves will worry about our new nations security."

And so it was, and from that day to this, the National Guard and Reserves have been known as Weekend Worriers.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert... If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do something else.
Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

2. Say ' silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading these?
If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.

4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land'?

Answer: You don't bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, 'You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question.

5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on . In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!

PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!

As Sergeant of the Guard and later as a 1SG I've found my share of soldiers asleep while standing. There are any number of non-judicial methods of dealing with this so these guys will be lucky if they even sleep when they do get off of guard duty. ;-)>

The global economic crisis has cost Arab countries $2,500bn (£1,690bn) in the last four months alone, according to Kuwait's foreign minister.

Sheikh Mohammed al-Sabah told reporters in Kuwait City that oil-rich Gulf Arab states had postponed or cancelled 60% of development projects.

re: #115 Dustyvet

OK. Since won't stop asking me for it, here it is.

Seamus and Liam were downing pint after pint of Guiness when through the drunken haze, Seamus realized that they still had to pay for their beers. He pointed this out to Liam who snorted
'Shite! I don't have two pence to rub together!'
'All I've got in me pocket is half a frozen sausage...' Seamus sighed despondently
'I've got it! We use that sausage and I'll get down on the floor an' pantomime like I'm a chubby White House intern and you're Bill Clinton...then, they'll be so disgusted with that display that they'll forget all about the tab and throw us out'.
Seamus was hesitant, but decided to follow his friend's lead. The patrons of the pub recoiled in disgust at their display, and as predicted, the burly bartender threw the two drunken faux-gay Irishmen out into the street by the scruff of their necks.
'Sweet Jesus!' Liam chirped 'That worked better than I could've imagined! Let's try that at O'Sullivan's pub now...'

The two stumbled into O'Sullivan's pub and after a few more pints, pulled the same act when they were asked to pay their bill. Sure enough- forgetting the bill, the disgusted bartender tosses the two of them out into the street.

'The night is young! There's at least five more pubs we can try this at..' Liam exclaimed. Almost reluctantly, Seamus staggered along behind his innebriated friend.

After hitting three more pubs and pulling the same stunt each time they were presented with the tab, Liam wasdebating whether or not to try and get into one more pub. Almost hugging the wall as he cautiously stumbled through the town he confessed to Seamus 'I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up- me jaw is gettin' pretty sore!'

'Your jaw!?' Seamus snapped back at his drinking buddy. 'How do you think I feel!? I ran out of sausage three pubs ago...'

Oh gosh...:(...

An Irishman was visiting Boston when- following the local reccomendations- he decided to take in a ballgame at Fenway park. Even though he was still unfamiliar with the rules of baseball, he seemed to be enjoying himself- although he was three sheets to the wind by the time the fifth inning rolled around. When it was the Red Sox turn to bat in the top of the fifth inning, the leadoff batter was walked on a 3-1 count. Thinking that the batter was supposed to hustle down the baseline as though the ball was still in play, the Irishman got up and bellowed 'RUN! FER' CHRISSAKES RUN!'

A helpful fan sitting adjacent to him tried explaining to the Irishman that there was no need to run since he was awarded first base. 'You see- he has four balls'

The Irishman blinked and nodded before bellowing out to the batter 'WALK WITH PRIDE, BOYO! WALK WITH PRIDE!'

I was checking my eyelids for pinholes...:(

Here is an interview I wanted to share with you, even though it doesn’t paint my country in a good light. It is from the Danish television. An interview with a Danish Jew. (my translation, so I apologise for its quality)

Mads Steffensen, Host: You are a Danish Jew, you live here in Copenhagen, and you feel threatened in your their daily life. How do you feel it personally?

Claus Bentow: I have experienced it in several different ways.

Claus Bentow: Det har jeg oplevet på flere forskellige måder. I've experienced on my way to work, that cars drive up close behind me when and throw things out of the windows and shout 'jahud' - which is Arabic for Jew. I've met a Muslim private school class dancing in the rear end of the bus and shouting death to the Jews, while I sat with my 3yo daughter up the front. I have been attacked, corporal, had stones thrown at me, and people who wanted to beat me up, and so on and so on.

Mads Steffensen - and they can spot. Who is it, who are shouting these things. Who is it, which are threatening you?

Claus Bentow: These things have been mostly Muslims, radical Muslims, Islamists, but I also think the Danish extreme left can sign up under these banners.

Mads Steffensen - and they can spot you on account of the skull cap?

Claus Bentow: The cap, yes, but now I have completely stopped wearing it, without having a hat on top of it. .. But that is why they can spot it.

Mads Steffensen: And your wife has also experienced threats, but she didn’t like to appear in public here. What has she experienced?

Claus Bentow: Yes, she has been threatened. She has been spitted on one, two three times. For instance, she has been threatened in the Metro, has been spit on by an old Arab man whom had seen her Star of David around her neck. She has been spitted on as she was leaving the bus with our nine year old baby ...

Mads Steffensen: This Saturday you participated in a demonstration [on the main square of Copenhagen] because of the war in Gaza. We have some pictures of it here. What was the purpose of the demonstration?

Claus Bentow: The aim was nothing more than to express a desire for peace, and show that Israel wants peace, even if it needs to fight terrorism. Yes, that was basically the message we had. Just that. Nothing more.

Mads Steffensen: And there was also a counter demonstration, that day - we have some pictures.

[Pictures of people shouting into a microphone: "Kill all Jews"]

Mads Steffensen: What do you think when you see these pictures?

Claus Bentow: I feel physically ill. It depressing, fear, and all the hope I once had about some sort of peaceful coexistence, either in the Middle East, or here, all this, I have stopped believing in. I can only see this - it reminds me completely of the Nazis in World War II, it is the same slogans, it is the same they say and it is the same they want. It is absolutely horrible.

...

Mads Steffensen: Now you are a father too far, what are you going to do to protect your children?

Claus Bentow: I try whenever possible, to keep them away. I have kept them out of school...Now one has to ask oneself weather these are tolerable conditions to live under, or if one should move. To – I don’t know – New York, other places, Israel perhaps, to be able to live a tolerable life as a Jew.

Video

- I’m not a Jew, so I have no personal experience. But I was at the pro-Israel demonstration, and saw the Nazi swine making the Nazi gestures while screaming allah akbar and death to all Jews.

Paddy and Mike are digging a ditch-hard sweaty work-and Sven is up leaning against a tree, Supervising.

Paddy asks Mike, " why are we killing ourselves workin, while Sven rests?"
Mike says, "I dunno, i'll go ask him"

Mike climbs out and asks Sven, "why are you just loafing around, while we're sweating down there?" Sven replies, "because I'm smarter than you".

Mike returns to digging-Paddy keeps banging his thigh..."What did he say, what did he say?" Mike says, "He said he's smarter than us.", and keeps working. Paddy says, "How do we know that?'
Mike stops, thinks, and says, "Dunno, I'll go ask him."
Mike climbs out and asks Sven, "how do
we know you're smarter than us?'
Sven straightens up, and says. "I'll prove it"
he moves, places his hand on the tree-says, "bet you can't hit my hand" Mike says, " you're on", winds up, and throws a punch-and Sven moves his hand-Mikes breaks some knuckles, and skins hell out of his hand. Sven says, See, I'm smarter than you. Get back to work!"

Mike returns to the ditch, and quietly starts digging. Paddy keeps hitting him on the leg, asking "what did he say, what did he say?"
Mike replies, "he proved he was smarter than us". Mike stops, turns and says-"Hey, I bet I'm smartert than you", Steps back and puts his hand over his face-"here, hit my hand, if you can"...

Top Saudi cleric: Ok for young girls to wed
"It is incorrect to say that it's not permitted to marry off girls who are 15 and younger," Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh, the kingdom's grand mufti, said in remarks quoted Wednesday in the regional Al-Hayat newspaper. "A girl aged 10 or 12 can be married. Those who think she's too young are wrong and they are being unfair to her.

"Wajeha al-Huwaider, co-founder of the Society of Defending Women's Rights in Saudi Arabia, told CNN in December that achieving human rights in the kingdom means standing against those who want to "keep us backward and in the dark ages."

If I Wrote For The Huffington Post - Give Geese A Chance
by Andy Levy

In the wake of the events of 1-15, in which a wedge of Geese brought down a US Airways aircraft, here’s what you won’t be hearing about from the so-called “Mainstream Media”: We brought this on ourselves.

After an event such as this one, it’s important to look at the root causes: Why did the Geese attack us? Well, the truth is, for years we have been oppressing the Geese, using them for the fuel they provide for our bodies.

Boneless Goose Breast, Brandied Roast Goose, Roast Goose with Cumberland Sauce and Apricot Stuffing. And of course, the Christmas Goose. In the name of religion, we have been engaged in what can only be called a Crusade against the Geese. Is it any wonder that a few brave suicide Geese would seek revenge?

Under the neocon/neofascist Cheney-Bush administration, Goose consumption is up 1541%. Geese have been systematically deprived of their rights at a level never seen before. (Look around your workplace: do you see any Geese? Wouldn’t you be nervous if you did?) Reports of shameful anti-Goose activity are at an all-time high, mainly in the South and Midwest, of course.

The fact is, WE (and, of course, Israel) are responsible for the rise of militant Gooslam. Given our actions, is it any wonder that gaggles of Goslings would reject the teachings of moderate Goose leaders, when those leaders are perceived as being in the pocket of the West? Given our actions, is it any wonder that these young Gooslamists would flock to more assertive leaders, leaders whose commitment to their cause cannot be questioned? Given our actions, the rise of a “Goosama” was inevitable. We have only ourselves to blame. (Does anyone doubt that somewhere there’s a photo of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with a Goose?)

In the moments right after 1-15, many have been quick to praise the actions of the US Airways pilot. But the TRUTH is that our pilots have been instruments of the BUSHITLER illegal war against the Geese. I know the Repuglicans will attack me for saying this, but speaking TRUTH TO POWER of course makes me a true PATRIOT. And very brave.

Right now America’s relationship with other species couldn’t be worse. Like most Americans, often when I’m hiking I find myself apologizing to woodland creatures for the actions of our illegitimate government. And like the rest of the world, I’m hopeful that once President Obama takes office, things will change, and that we will end our imperialistic attempts at hegemony over the rest of the planet. After all, if he can sit down with Iran and Hezbollah, he can sit down with the Geese.

"On the eve of Barack Obama’s inauguration, James Delingpole says that the President-elect is horribly reminiscent of Tony Blair in 1997. He may be a fantastic guy, and look great, but he will bring a ragbag of scuzzballs, communists and eco-loons to power with him"

Fantastic! I haven't seen this yet. The ferry captain wasted no time getting there.

The closest I ever got to ditching was when I auto-rotated an H-model Huey into the parking lot of an A&P supermarket near Gastonia North Carolina. The transmission had gone out, with much grinding and some ominous burning smells, leaving us with an operating engine but a freewheeling rotor. The area was hilly and wooded, so I was sweating blood looking for a clear spot other than the interstate highway that ran through the area. I had about decided to land on the highway and risk the traffic when I spotted the parking lot. The landing was not a sterling example of the Right Stuff, I regret to say. We thumped down and the four of us on board exited the machine in some haste.

The first person to arrive was not an all-can-do NYC ferry captain, of course, but a local who bore a startling resemblance to Junior Samples of HeeHaw fame, right down to the bib overalls. He looked at us goggle-eyed from the cab of his pickup and drawled, "Whut're you boys doin' landin' a heelicopter at the goshery store?" I was more than a little tense, to say the least, and I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard. I wanted to say, "We crashed here, you moron, what does it look like?" but thought better of it and said, "Well don't tell anyone but we're having a picnic over yonder and we dropped by for more beer and potato chips." He put his pickup in gear and drove off. He might have believed me for all I know. The store manager and a mob of customers, employees, gawkers, and passers-by arrived about then, followed closely by what seemed like all the firetrucks and ambulances in both the Carolinas, none of which were necessary. The NC Highway Patrol was great and soon had things sorted out. We returned to Ft. Rucker by commercial air, while a crew retrieved the disabled chopper with a flatbed trailer.

Got to run--have a great day!

Good morning, WIFI is unhappy so I'm looking in from my BBerry. Is Israel swallowing another Hudna? Any news?

Israel should demand "Peace" and fight until they get it.

Israeli Cabinet is about to meet. Here is my take on the logical consequences of a unilateral cease fire before the missiles have stopped.

1. Israel declares a unilateral ceasefire. Hamas declares victory.
2. Hamas keeps firing daily missiles and repeats its conditions for a ceasefire, which include Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and reopening of border crossings.
3. Israeli troops withdraw from Gaza while missiles keep falling on Israeli civilians. Israel warns Hamas against continuing the missile attacks. Hamas declares victory.
4. Egypt refuses to officially reopen the Rafah border crossing. Missiles keep falling on Israel while smuggling tunnels are rebuilt by Hamas. Hamas declares victory.
5. MSM reports Hamas victory and floods airwaves with images of death and destruction caused by Israel.
6. Ahmadinejad undergoes emergency surgery to repair a busted gut ...from laughing so hard.

Say it ain't so, Joe.

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff'

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.

My ole granny from Jamaica used to say: "You never live to be old if you are a fool, but the problem is that the fools breed young and prolifically!"

Unilateral Cease Fire

What usually happens when you stop shooting at a committed enemy is you stop shooting and they keep right on shooting.

So why is there the slightest chance the cease-fire might work? Because Hamas in Gaza is expected to cease fire even if their leaders in Damascus are still shooting imaginary rockets from their brains. Now only time will tell if this is true. When the cease fire goes into effect, Hamas can be expected to fire off a few last rockets to show they can still read the inner meaning of the Koran and Israel might even not do much when they do. The reason is Hamas in Gaza knows they need to get the Israelis out of GAZA ASAP before their own people kill them. At this moment Gaza has no functioning government of any kind.

There is no structure and there is no leadership. It is not clear that Hamas has any ability to govern and her top leaders, Zahar and Haniyeh are not very popular people right now. They may find exile more comfortable than their constituents "gratitude" for getting Gaza ruined by this war.

Pictures do not lie, Gaza, over the years did have some development, there were dozens of tall buildings in Gaza and tens of thousands of other structures and most of them have suffered damage in the war and there have been many hundreds, if not thousands, destroyed. And then there are the lives lost. How can anyone not feel for the Palestinian Doctor, a neonatal specialist, who lost three daughters to a tank shell, he just lost his wife to leukemia a few months back. This man was no raver for Hamas and worked closely with Israeli medical experts to get the best medicine for his people. Morally, we know that his loss is all Hamas' fault but that should not stop us from knowing the real suffering of others; war solves some things but destroys lives and souls along the way. This morning a rocket crashed through the roof of a Synagogue in South Israel, a cease-fire may happen but the dream of peace is a million miles away.

And this brings us to the notion of the real disproportionality in this war. The sheer anger and outrage of Hamas supporters and the vicious anti-Jewish violence of deeds and words is the most remarkable display of fascist immorality since Hitler. Hitler raved and blamed the Jews for all and so do the folks who are so concerned about Islamic lives and Islam's reputation that they are perfectly happy to assault Jews and police or pay midnight visits to desecrate Synagogues but are utterly silent about the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed by their fellow coreligionists in Iraq, Algeria and Darfur. Not one protest. No public comment. Nada, zip, nuthin'. In the course of defending herself and militarily defeating a force of over 25,000 armed psychoticsHamas men, an act perfectly within her right to do, a few hundred civilians have indeed been killed. It is, of course, irrelevant to them that hundreds of Israelis were killed or injured over the years by indiscriminate war-crime rocketry but let Israel defend herself and its Auschwitz, genocide and Hitler. They don't want to hear about open well-stocked fruit markets or blown up Jewish homes. Their anger and rage, powered by willful ignorance and hate is the new reality. This is disproportionality, it is pure definitional projection of their own despicable beliefs. But all with a difference: these fascists are rising not just to defend their beloved fellow Muslim Brotherhood fascists, they are rising up to attack Jews world wide. This is the face of the New Beast. This is how they act when Hamas is attacked, what will they do if the war spreads to Iran or inevitably, Lebanon?

Israel may stop shooting in Gaza but this war is just getting started.

I keep hoping that the opinion you expressed is wrong, but deep down inside I know that you are right.
These are the same people who have murdered innocent children in Pizza parlors over the year, by sending thier chilren into the restaurants with bombs strapped to their abdomens.
They cannot feed themselves, they make no important contributions to medicine, literature or the arts. The only thing they lead the world in is vicious murder and unrestrained mayhem. Hate and murder are the only thing that they excell at.
If an Israeli Soldier after years of captivity at the hands of these murderers were to survive, then it would seem that they are losing their enthusiasm at murder, the only activity that they have led the world in.

re: #210 shanec99
I hope every day I'm wrong too but I'm unable to give the monsters who kidnapped him credit for keeping him alive. Especially since the airstrikes started and Hamas stated they are no longer Concerning themselves with keeping him safe.

The IDF Medical Corps has also been using new state-of-the-art medical equipment to treat wounds. One device incorporated into field units is "QuikClot Combat Gauze," which uses a hemostatic agent that coagulates blood. It replaces the "personal bandage" long issued to every IDF soldier upon induction.

Quick clot is the aerosol bandage with the Clotting agent?

I suspect that he has been dead for quite some time, well before 27 December.

Those murderers have no compassion... heavens, remember that they starp bombs to thier children and send them to their deaths all the while hoping that they will kill other people's kids.

re: #215 Rustler

No it is a material containing chitin that helps to stop bleeding from a severe wound and prevent shock and exanguination.

Saw this story and thought wow Hamas is taking Gilad to Egypt to try and encourage peace but wrong Gilad. Gilad returns from Egypt Peace talks. Was gonna say thats ripe for an Israeli rescue attempt.

re: #218 shanec99
Ahh ok. When I was leaving the Military I recall having seen some funky aerosol cans that deployed a foam like material with anti clotting agents was wondering if thats what it finally got named.

Hello? Is anyone awake?

We have now confirmed that these leaders excell at:
Rape
Murder
Hiding under burquas to escape justice
Lying
Cowardly conduct in combat

I sincerley hope that all of our enemies will behave like them. It would make it easy to justify war against them.

re: #164 freetoken

The US is not the UK, and the political system is sufficiently different that I doubt a strong parallel can be drawn between Obama and Blair.

Obama won't have the same effect in the US as Blair had in the UK due to the fact that Blair's tenure had continued economic growth which kept the populace 'fat,dumb and happy' while they went about their destructive socialist ways.

The article is British-centric and is trying to draw parallels between Obama and Blair in how Blair did and how Obama will get away with their socialist policies. I did not post this article to try and draw parallels with the two politicians or between the US and the UK, I did it because I have got a great respect for America and don't want to see the way it has went over here.

While the US and UK political systems are different it doesn't help to see if there is any lessons to be learned to be able to deal with Obama and the 'power behind the throne' that is the real danger?

Damn thing changed the subject commercials then to PEBO.

Good morning y'all - from a frigid (11 degrees when I woke up, now 13) bright and sunny Charlotte! How is everyone today?

Here is what the MSM says: "Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal claimed on Thursday that Israel "has not broken Hamas" and "has not broken the resistance." He asserted that not a single Hamas rocket launcher had been hit and said more Israelis had been killed than Hamas operatives in the three weeks of fighting."
Since we all know that the Palestinians are honest... why is the MSM angry at Isreal?

I was in a doctor's office five blocks away when the Airbus ditched into the Hudson. As I left, there were emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, etc.) heading towards the river, sirens and lights going.

Wow. I tell ya my friend, medical science has come a long way in many respects, but those two that you linked to are phenomenal!
All we had were those gauze bandages: apply pressure, elevate the feet, cover with blanket (for shock) pray like hell. I suspect the praying like hell still goes on, as does treatment for shock, but those products that actually CLOT the wound have probably saved a lot of lives. Thank God.

re: #252 BBev
MINUS 6 degrees? (I'm ignoring windchill cause I wouldn't go out in that weather for anything short of a true medical emergency). Good Lord!
