Broadband & DVDs only. klokwkdoggerel: TPM also had a link to a PDF report from a Senate committe that showed how far Iranian rockets could reach...but the center of the range circles was in Kuwait principalpoop: there is a large jewish population in Iran, they have co-existed without problems for a long time klokwkdoggerel: and the biggest circle was for a rocket that doesn't exist Reebus-K-Tweenus: Bush is on a Blues Brothers mission from God. He wants to remake the Middle East as his legacy. klokwkdoggerel: Poop -- no, most of them are gone now; it got too hot for them. Not being very Zionist, they have trouble living in Israel, and not being very Muslim, trouble living anywhere else in the Mideast principalpoop: the rockets red glare comes from the war of 1812, do we even have any rockets in our weaponry, all guided missiles now I thought principalpoop: as of when? I read that recently from an Iranian professor here in the usa.... klokwkdoggerel: It's unfortunate that so many Jews were driven out of Iraq and Iran, since they formed a very diverse element of the culture there. The Bahais have also been persecuted in Iran. Reebus-K-Tweenus: I love Victor Borge's quote: "Yes, I know a little Turkish. Get along..." klokwkdoggerel: Reminds me of Indonesia, where they purged all the "Chinese", who were really Indonesians for genrations and none of whom spoke Chinese Reebus-K-Tweenus: It's a mess... klokwkdoggerel: Poop -- lots of rockets. See fas.org klokwkdoggerel: Zunis, for example principalpoop: I liked the recent onion, how faith in god helps the hezbullah and israels and lebanese cope klokwkdoggerel: Sometimes, you just want to make some noise and keep peoples' heads down klokwkdoggerel: Using $4M per shot precision guided munitions is NOT the way to do that Reebus-K-Tweenus: We've had a Mexican district on part of South Congress Ave here for years now. They're putting up new condos, and yuppie places. I suspect that'll all go away soon. principalpoop: I looked, they sent 10,000 and killed 18 people, the rockets only carry 7kg of explosive, some fireworks rockets are bigger Reebus-K-Tweenus: How about the Onion "I feel like I'm the only person gentrifyling this place"... lol principalpoop: but yes fireworks are deadly and scary aimed at towns and farms klokwkdoggerel: Poop -- I saw some pictures of cars shredded by Katyusha, not pretty Reebus-K-Tweenus: Conjugate the verb, to gentrify... principalpoop: sure, they are dangerous and fucked up to aim them at civiilans klokwkdoggerel: Russian Katyushas were fired from "Stalin Organs", 40-tube launchers mounted on US-supplied Studebaker trucks Reebus-K-Tweenus: So, we're all signing up for the UN peacekeeping force? principalpoop: I am, blue helmet and hash, cool klokwkdoggerel: You get about 20 of those trucks all firing at once onto a battlefield and it's pretty scary. Was for the Germans, anyway principalpoop: but I will not tell the israelis where I am lol klokwkdoggerel: Shooting just one Katyusha at a time is not very effective Reebus-K-Tweenus: From what I've read, the "backward" Soviets had some pretty impressive firepower. principalpoop: it is a terrorist attack rather than a military bombardment klokwkdoggerel: As they say, "Quantity has a quality all its own" principalpoop: sure Reebus-K-Tweenus: Didn't know until recently that their tanks were superior to Panzers (our Pershings were dubbed "purple heart boxes") klokwkdoggerel: Poop -- the attack did its job Reebus-K-Tweenus: The Lebanese people didn't deserve what happened. klokwkdoggerel: Tweeny -- T-34 no match for Tiger and some other German tanks, but again, there were lots and lots and lots of T-34s and a diminishing number of replacements for the Germans principalpoop: the lebanese government should not allow that klokwkdoggerel: there was also this matter of the Sturmavik, on which the A-10 Warthog was modeled Reebus-K-Tweenus: Their infrastructure is gone, from what I've heard on Democracy Now. principalpoop: just like the new palestian government must put leashes on its attack dogs klokwkdoggerel: It was essentially immune to ground fire and could shred tanks Reebus-K-Tweenus: The "Flying Tank" klokwkdoggerel: Yep Reebus-K-Tweenus: I'd rather be on the Enterprise ;-) principalpoop: for making patton, the pershing tanks looked too small and silly, they used panzers for our tanks and new tanks for panzers lol principalpoop: or something along those lines lol Reebus-K-Tweenus: Figures lol klokwkdoggerel: at Kursk, the guys flew Sturmaviks all day and the gals flew old 2-engine biplane bombers all night. the Germans were under constant attack klokwkdoggerel: US tanks were poorly protected and not very well-made. But again, we had lots of them Reebus-K-Tweenus: It was wonderful to see GC Scott go from Strangelove to Patton. klokwkdoggerel: German tanks were complex, kept breaking down. Kelly's Heroes is very accurate in that respect Reebus-K-Tweenus: Yeah. The "Witches".
