Can you imagine the money we'd save?

Not to mention not having nearly every other country of the world condemning us for our twisted magnanimous Imperialism!

Iraqi investigators have a videotape that shows Blackwater USA guards opened fire against civilians without provocation in an incident last week in which 11 people died, a senior Iraqi official said Saturday. He said the case was referred to the Iraqi judiciary.

Iraq's president, meanwhile, demanded that the Americans release an Iranian arrested this week on suspicion of smuggling weapons to Shiite militias. The demand adds new strains to U.S.-Iraqi relations only days before a meeting between President Bush and Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said Iraqi authorities had completed an investigation into the Sept. 16 shooting in Nisoor Square in western Baghdad and concluded that Blackwater guards were responsible for the deaths.

He told The Associated Press that the conclusion was based on witness statements as well as videotape shot by cameras at the nearby headquarters of the national police command.

Do not say ''Arm the police'' because that will simply make you look stupid.

Please, do you really want some spiked hair teenager with a gun in his hand looking out for you and your kids?

Ok, second choice?....

which represent Army divisions since there were so many....from 1st to 106th divisions.

For me, i like the Rainbow Division (42nd) because the badge is of a cute rainbow eventho they took part in the Dachau Massacre after they liberated over 30,000 from the duchau concentration camps.

I have wondered about this. I'm sure we learned about it in school at some point. I have forgotten what it represented. It all seems a little silly what ever it means.

and I'm scared -- as soon as school is over he's probably going to Iraq (they say) and that is not what I want for him but then again, all he wants to do is protect his country, etc. What are your thoughts on this? Have kids in Iraq? He's so intelligent it's not even funny -- I wish I had his brains (yeah, his mom saying this).....I'm proud of him and I'm also scared. He is my baby.....they say he's not MY baby anymore...... :(

Because it sounds like something straight out a hollywood movie or an episode from Macgyver. Compare the scenarios:

September 11, 2001

Five suicidal Muslim high jackers use box cutters to high jack four airplanes and then with flying manuals and flight simulator training they flew jumbo jetliners with the precision and skill of expert pilots, slammed them into two buildings but causing three buildings to collapse.

A typical Macgyver episode

While being pursued by dirty CIA operatives at a strip club, MacGyver loads a confetti cannon with make-up powder and fires it at them as they enter a door, thus blinding the enemies with powder. And then Macgyver, to delay more CIA operatives from pursuing him him, burns a string dipped in kerosene attached to a tin can. The resulting flame is bright enough to look like a fuse for a bomb, and the can is filled with animal fat which resembles an explosive.

My employer changed my schedule and didn't tell me at all. Later on in the week he called me on a day I was not originally scheduled to work and asked why I wasn't there and I told him I wasn't scheduled for that day. He ended the conversation with me being fired and to come and get my check and sign some papers. I have copies of the original schedule for that week and the one that he made for the week.....Can I sue?
