I don't. I don't even consider it as a viable option in the foreseeable future.

What would you even assign as a target for it?

I agree virgil... I just wonder why some people tout them as a usuable weapon.

There's a way to win respect.

We need order and control established so these Iraqi's I keep hearing that are so happy we rescued them can police their own. Bush's post war plan is a joke.

Hopefully we have some intel working and can find this corporal before it's too late.


I think your previous indignation about restoring order was in fact a slam at the current administration and not so thinly veiled. Your dishonesty is showing.

"Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said the military is working under the assumption that the Marine has been kidnapped -- but he indicates that hasn't been confirmed.

Kimmitt said the Marine had gone on an "unauthorized absence" around June 21 -- and that officials suspect he may have been heading to Lebanon. The general didn't give more details.
The Marine is a Muslim of Middle Eastern origin."

whats with this.  He was awol in Lebabon?

I saw the thugs displaying his military driver's liscense on the tube today and thought it was ironic that he has an Arab name. Is there something fishy about this, or is it the product of over-active imaginations?
