Actually you are completely wrong. I of course heard of this in the am and reteadedly sought to follow the events. The media references were emailed to me this am. Again a personal attack regarding something you know little about. hmmm a pattern.

After doubt has been removed all that is left is certainty.

See thread entitled : Honesty

Slothrop - You have removed all doubt!

I guess you are argeeing with me about media bias and wonder why sometimes I complain and others tims I do not. Of course there have been many cases of hostage taking and they are not all the same. In some cases they might be terrorists in other cases they simply are not. The case today was a perfrect case to illustrate media bias esp. when you look at the distribution of terms. That to me was the great thing about the post. Stop using bumperstickers as textbooks - war does not equal terrorism.

BUSH, 41% WOULD VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY, AND 3% WOULD VOTE FOR NADER New York – For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Poll results are available on TIME.com and will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME magazine, on newsstands Monday, Sept. 6. Weren't the Kerry supporters say he didnt get a bounce because there were so few undecided voters? Sounds like alot of people must be giving Kerry the boot..or...the Kerry supporters were full of BS.. Well maybe both

Billcoe. My guess is that the terrorist know they are terorists. They choose to be such. Perhaps they are freedom fighters but that does not take away their terrorist status.

See above definition. The media is misrepresenting the issue.

hostage:a prisoner who is held by one party to insure that another party will meet specified terms. These were children who were destined to be slaughtered. The were not hostages. The terrorist blow a bomb up and escape. Perhaps there is a secondary explosion that kills the people who are caring for the injured. A textbook case of terrorism. That CNN and the BBC both used the term Hostage taker is telling. How worked up am I ? You cannot tell but you couldnt pass up an attack against me as opposed to my argument. bravo!

CNN - hostage-takers MSNBC - militants CBS - militants ABC - militants Fox - terrorists BBC - hostage-takers In addition to the schoolyard there is this : A female suicide bomber was detained near the headquarters. She was dressed up in a white smock. First she tried to get in the hospital building, but was scared of police and headed toward the headquarters, where she was arrested. link Reports children were shot in the back and beaten with rifles. Seems FOX is the only honest one in the whole bunch. Pathetic. The media lies and more people die.

An American? I wonder how Putin will respond? Do you think the US has waged even the beginings of a serious war? Should we is another question. Isnt there an appropriate Churchill quote?

Weather was good today!

Wasn't Borax a sponser of Death Valley Days.....? ANd who was on that... My MAN RONNIE!

LOL You are such a goofball. Hey who's that on TV - soon to walk to the podium - why it's...it's...... Ahhhhnold!

Very true ---- Cecile Pozzo di Borgo, spokeswoman of the French Foreign Ministry..[dit]. [T]he spokeswoman reiterated her country's call for efforts to seek a "political solution" to the Iraqi crisis, adding that "the organization of free and democratic elections would permit to get together conditions of a real political and economic reconstruction of Iraq". France has opposed the US-led Iraq war and has no troops in Iraq. This suggests that the French diplomats are attempting to link the release of the French hostages to changes in the method and manner in which the Iraqi elections will be held. The mere fact that France is negotiating implictly means there will be a quid for the quo. Paying tribute is all part of the nuanced foreign policy of former great states. But whether the French ante up with secret political concessions or payouts, the result will be the same. More Americans and Iraqis will die as the price of French appeasement. Yet the French will not escape the carnivorous attentions of the terrorists in the end. Promises by blackguards are made to be broken. The trick is to know that and the French have forgotten. Americans at least, have old Arnold Schwarzennegger movies to remind them.His character in the 1985 movie Commando holds a villain by the ankle over a cliff and this bit of dialogue ensues: Arnold to thug: "Hey Sully, remember when I promised to kill you last?" Thug: "Yeah, man! You said that!" Arnold drops the man. Arnold: "I lied."

ok one last problem...spinners!

one more problem...don't botch the third clip!

...the bolts are so far apart at the start that it's hard to stick clip the next one if you only have a 16 footer!
