Unfortunately the targets will just shift from US Forces to the littler tribe or less funded group in the region. We the US, with some help from others, kicked open a hornets nest and didn't know we would suffer from anaphalactic shock when the hornets kicked back.

Hey, amazon said some thing I am trying to figure out. She said we have killed HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Iraqi Citizens, since you and I have been on opposite tours there, lets add our figures and see how many actually are from Coalition Forces collateral damage, not the stuff in the media that adds all the numbers together (Syrian Insurgents, Iranian Insurgents, AQ Insurgents, Sunni Insurgents, Shiite Insurgents, Coalition Forces, Iraqi Army and Police Forces) and assigns blame to the US exclusively.

It is disappointing to see you throw the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines away so easily. They do stand up for your rights and freedom. If you feel you can stand up alone, please try. They however will be right there when you need them whether you ask or not. They will even stand between you and one who would try and censure you for exercising your right to free speech, even though you don't support them. You need to separate the military from the Administration. The Administration decided the course our country is on, not the military, even the President last night said the military is not to blame for the course we are on, he is and he alone (paraphrased). Even though some may forget, the military executed the orders given it, that had the support of the US Congress and a UN resolution. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

But he would have had to commit a crime against Humanity for the charge wouldn't he? No matter how thin you think it is, he had a UN resolution for Iraq (I presume this is based on that). He did not ORDER the mass killings or Iraqi Civilians, that has been the Insurgents and some collateral damage from the Coalition Forces. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Tandem Skydivers. I do not think so at the moment, but it appears to be some thing in the works for 2007, in partnership with DZ's. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Was the Dolphin used? If so it probably sat low in the back as well. This is due to the longer main lift web. The Wings is fit for you all around and it sounds like you have a short torso, making the chest strap sit as low as it physically can on the harness, but still on your bust line. You can wear the chest strap a little looser than in the past but still snug enough to feel in place. This wear style will allow the strap to travel over your busts and not hurt you on opening. But I can only relay that as told to me buy several female students and jumpers. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Your closing loop is WAY TOO LONG! We have 18 Wings here and they all come the same way with the closing loop set up for LOOKS ONLY! You need to tighten it up so that the flaps line up and the pin will then be covered. If your main is a little large for the rig this may mean a bit of strength is required but it will open once you close it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Tunnel operators rarely allow a "newbie" to get high enough to leave the padded area around the tunnel. Other designs also have "chambers" that wont allow the flyer to leave the wind column.

I don't have the link but the us army quarter master home page had a way to down load them. We did just that for our briefing slides. Just google rigger wings and you'll get a plethora of jpg.s, mpeg.s etc. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Yes they are VERY SERIOUS about "futball". If we hadn't restrained them, as we still are, there would be an independent Kurdistan right now. Then of course the violence would probably be directed there and the current discussion would not be happening. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Ah yes, the actual number, much better than a guess. Some how with all the hub bub in the press then I thought it was the other way around. But, really, would it come to that now? It would be a waste of time. By the time the process was over it wouldn't matter. And to the poster who said crimes against humanity, using the "rule of law" theory there are none.

Additionally I like the elastic in the shoes that holds the tongue snug to your foot (not something I remember my skate shoes having in the past, but I have not done a serious stint in 18+ years). I know it is a buy product of the "cool Kid" look of not tying the shoes on snug with the laces. This elastic, to me, seams to support the foot better. And before any one chimes in that I shouldn't be wearing skater shoes to jump in: I stopped skating when the skills of the other kids out performed me. Plus the bumps and bruises didn't go away as fast. I did start in some of the same pools and skate board parks in Cali as a famous Pro Skater did, it is not just our birth date that we share, and I grew up on the SF Peninsula. I choose to use the shoes for their alternate purpose now. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Was he truly found not guilty or is this just a "Technicality" thing, with the guilty votes falling short by a few? I looked at Mr. Browns post and it jives with how I remember things. It is kind of like being found "not guilty" by a jury of 12 because 2 said "No". End result is the same. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I made no such claim. I only pointed out that Amazan does not either. At least that is how I read the posts. But to humor you, I think there is a little validity to the argument that we are meeting the terrorist in Iraq. Look at the incident in Irbil today, 5 Iranian SOF soldiers arrested with new weapons, large amounts of cash and communications gear. There has been a large amount of non-Iraqi Muslim Insurgents coming from Syria and Iran, but I only know that from personal experience. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Good Lord Lady! If Bush is going to Hell because of his job performance and use of words, would not your beloved Clinton be sitten' in the love seat of heat with him? That is, if the Ten Commandments are to be applied evenly and not selectively. How about actual points for the discussion instead of blind hatred of the man because you are Left Wing DEM and he is right wing(admittedly way right) REP. I personally think both parties have failed us and the system is full of nothing but corrupt individuals looking out for themselves and themselves alone. But I see two exceptions, McCain and Leiberman, those two on a ticket and I vote there. You want to stop the POTUS? Stop whining and start campaining for the fellow or woman (Hillary is falling in the polls so she is out as the DEM party is starting to back Obama more openly) you want. Plus as suggested earlier, yes write your reps in Capital Hill, if enough do it they will have to listen, they are after all in this for themselves and if your gonna help vote them out they will kiss you ass for the political reprieve.

i-team says - Skyride still operates as they always have, over booking lying refusing to give refunds and that the GA State is working an investigation. Plus the I-team is getting complaints even the day of the follow up airing from across the country. They also find that skyride only gives 100% refunds if the media or law is brought in to help get the refunds from skyride. Former employees say - they got fired after refusing to continue to lie for skyride and that they are pushed to sell, over book, lie using the weather as the excuse and not give back money. Ben says - (not on camera) they are all lying. Thats pretty much it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

If I may jump in here Max, If Congress is to with hold funds for me or my fellow Soldiers and Marines then, yes as far as we are concerned, Congress has stabbed us in the back and failed to support us. If they act prior to the movement (and stop taking fucking days off for a NIGHT TIME football game) and pass a constructive law blocking the movement and mandating the rerurn of troops (or a better plan involving regional diplomacy and strategic threat over mass numbers of US troops), in language like billvon suggests, then sure they still support the troops. Other wise, troops will have to spread thin assets and munitions to make some available for the 20K+ arriving and that will cost more lives, in my opinion, cost more lives than sending over 20K+ that are fully funded and able to defend them selves.
