I would like to buy/rent/lease a used USA US Navy 'Admiral' Class steel-hulled minesweeper built by the Tampa Shipbuilding Company in Florida in 1944 measuring 185 feet long and weighing 780 tons. She would have to be in excellent condition and seaworthy. Where could I find one and how much would it cost? Thank you.

Just wondering. They are supposed to be superpowers but when was the last time they fought? Or is this a more of a history question?

Senator Kerry,
Nov. 1, 2006

Damn you!!. You are a bumbling idiot. My son, Cory, left the Computer Engineering Program at West Virginia University, a superlative educational
institution, to volunteer to serve in the United States Marine Corps. He made it to Recon in less than one year, completing over a dozen schools, finishing with top scores in every single one of them. Cory, along with every Recon Marine, was/is a brilliant young man. They all volunteered - there is no draft as there was when you were in the Armed Forces. Cory, along with 3 other Recon Marines, died as the result of an IED explosion in May, 2006. These men, along with their peers, are superior in intellect. How dare you dishonor them by your careless words. You are a stupid, self-absorbed, fool.

I am not speaking as a member of any political party - in fact, I support more democrats at this juncture than republicans. But I loathe the disdain you display for my son and those whose magnificent service was given for something they held so dear to their hearts - freedom.

I pray that your political future is doomed. You are a detriment to every democrat with whom you associate. If in deed, your words were, as you say, intended as a joke, then you are heartless. My son's life is certainly more than a joke. He and these almost 3,000 young men and women who have died with him, are much more valued and loved than to be used as pawns in your own petty political pundits.

You were not misunderstood. You were clearly heard and understood by us all. You were on national television. You are utterly disrespectful of our sons and of us, their families. I will work tirelessly to bring you down. You discredit every member of the Armed Forces. Not only are these troops more savvy than ever before in history, so are their commanding officers, many of whom have advanced educational degrees. You, John Kerry, are nothing but scum. Spare us from the further desecration of our troops and the superlative military minds that truly do serve our nation. Remove yourself from the limelight and step down from office, NOW.

VERY sincerely,

Mrs. Danna Swain Palmer, Proud Mom of Fallen Marine,

Cpl. Cory Leonard Palmer, USMC, Recon May 10, 1984 - May 6 - 2006
West Virginia University, School of Computer Engineering 2006, Voluntarily withdrew with excellent grades to serve in the United States MarineCorps, Dec. 13, 2002.

CC: The Honorable Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia
The Honorable Joseph Biden, Delaware
The Honorable Thomas Carper, Delaware
The Honorable Congressman Mike Castle, Delaware
Commandant Michael Hagee, USMC
Commandant Charles Krulak, USMC, Ret.
West Virginia University, President
"Victory at all cost. Victory in spite of all terror. Victory no matter how long and how hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival"

GOD BLESS AMERICA !

He looks and talks like he is completely stupid. He has jeopardised the safety of the world with his gung-ho tactics. Not only that - he has done the American people a serious injustice. Bush has opened up the most serious can of worms ever - we will forever be under threat of terrorism and extremism. What was once a reasonably mutually respectful world a few years ago, has now turned into one gigantic war field. I am so glad I decided against having children. God only knows what I would be leaving them to face. I hope that now the Americans have a choice as to who governs them in the future, they get rid of this lunatic and his party and make way for someone - if there is anyone there - who is not wrapped up in their own self importance and has a real desire to repair the mess of this idiot. By the way, obvious I know, but I'm British and until Blair became Bushes puppy, I was proud of it. My only concern now is for those boys out there that are frightened and should be home!

I've never understood how Bush gets away with saying this, it's an illogical and thoroughly unpleasant claim, for two reasons:

1. If there were 5000 people in the world willing to kill themselves in suicide attacks against the west before the Iraq invasion, there are now 10 times as many people willing to do this (because of all the hatred against the west created by this war). You reap what you sow, why can't Bush and Blair see this.

2. This claim also implies that it's morally ok to make another country into a battlefield. It looks like more innocent people have died in Iraq since the invasion, than during Saddams rule.

I agree that Saddam was a very bad man, and can even entertain the notion that Bush and Blair went into this with the best intentions of bringing democracy to Iraq. What I can't understand is Bush's statement about fighting them over there, doesn't he see that this just creates more enemies of the US an Britain?

the worlds media were told none were shot down, then a video from serbian media showed the u.s FA-117 stealth bomber wreckage after it was shot down, but they still admitted it was the only plane shot down(though n.a.t.o said it came down due to technical difficulties). so how many were actully shot down and when will they tell the true figures to the world, in 20,30,40,50 years time like in the vietnam war?

"This is also the reason why Iran is so brave in daring the US to attack it on the nuclear proliferation issue. Iran knows that it has the power to hurt the US. Without oil from the Gulf, the war machines of the US and its principal allies will literally run out of gas.

A single blow from Iran or China or Russia, or a combination of the three at the Strait of Hormuz can paralyze America. In addition, Chinese and Russian submarines can stop the flow of oil to the US and Japan by interdicting oil tanker traffic coming from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. On the other hand, US naval supremacy will have minimal effect on China's oil supply because it is already connected to Kazakhstan with a pipeline and will soon be connected to Russia and Iran as well."

Only for those with the needed attention-span.

Could that be _you_ ?

This may be beyond the average ability here, but it's worth a stab.

While everyone's attention seems fixed on "front door issues" like elctions and war, too much is happening in our backyard. INTRUDERS.

Please read this Asia Times article, and the _first_ article though hyperlink, and be the judge.

My occasional rants on China's agenda need some back-bone, and here it is. Make of it what you will.

To give you an idea I believe China is behind this whole terror thing from day one, to embroil the west -but US above all- in a series of political and military emergencies with the ultimate aim of weaking and draining away her industry, strategic advantage,
financial might and -ultimately- political will.

That would be when the final blow is struck.

Soldiers say Iraq pullout would be devastating
Leaving fledgling state could help insurgents, betray Iraqis, troops warn.

FORWARD OPERATING BASE SYKES, Iraq - For the U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, the war is alternately violent and hopeful, sometimes very hot and sometimes very cold. It is dusty and muddy, calm and chaotic, deafeningly loud and eerily quiet.

The one thing the war is not, however, is finished, dozens of soldiers across the country said in interviews. And leaving Iraq now would have devastating consequences, they said.

With a potentially historic U.S. midterm election on Tuesday and the war in Iraq a major issue at the polls, many soldiers said the United States should not abandon its effort here. Such a move, enlisted soldiers and officers said, would set Iraq on a path to civil war, give new life to the insurgency and create the possibility of a failed state after nearly four years of fighting to implant democracy.
