I don't really believe there will be a complete withdrawal from Iraq or Afghanistan by the coalition. I believe that a large military presence in the middle East is part of a long term scheme to bring stability/control to the area, for whatever reason, or altruistic purpose. Doesn't the PNAC require a continued presence in Europe, Asia, and the middle East? Anyone who thinks there will be a large scale withdrawal from the Middle East is kidding themselves. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

IMO, Pelican make the daddy cases. http://www.pelican.com/product/cases/ I've had one for ages and have lugged gear (mostly laptops etc) all over the world in it, its still in good shape.

"The Police Memorial Trust shows 17 officers killed in England in the last 10 years. And if you add Ireland, the number jumps up 7 more. Source: Police Memorial " The memorial page you linked to doesn't list the cause of death, but it does include all of the deaths of officers serving in the UK. You are assuming they all died as a result of shootings, also if you want to add in a separate country, like say Ireland, thats about as meaningful as including say Columbian police officer's deaths in with those numbers from the US. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

So we have two British police officers, and a whole pile of Brits here saying they don't want to see an armed force. I was discussing this very subject in my local with two Sergeants and a beat bobby, last night, they don't want to see routine arming of the constabulary either. So what are we arguing about? I don't want to see the US police disarmed, and I really don't want to deprive John Rich of his weapons either. I'm happy with the status quo. Sheesh I realy haven't missed this eternal banging of the heads against the wall.............THe Colonial Cousins are happy with their set of rules, the Imperial Snobs are happy with theirs, the cultures are different, but similar, lets leave it at that.

It may have been Rex who misused the word Scotch, but the film lyrics/script was written by a New Yorker, based on a play by an Irishman.

When I'm Commissar of Scotland, I will bang 'em all up for lengthy periods of turning large rocks into small ones. And that will include the wee fucks who shoot at paramedics, firefighters as well as my friends in the law enforcement business. Traffic wardens, however, will be fair game, their shooting will be actively encouraged in order to maintain vital militia skills.. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Lets face it , the Americans and the Brits are kinda good at this sort of work.

My opinion? Anyone who points a weapon (or a replia for that matter)at a police officer should get a minimum sentence, say 10 years, anyone who shoots at an officer should get 20, anyone who kills an officer should get life, no chance of an early out in any of the above cases.... There's got to be a better way to protect our police than arming them. Or maybe the jail time could be supplemental to a more widespread arming of the force. Better protection via stricter punishment float your boat Mike? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
