Korea has nukes a military conflict with them could get out of hand in a hurry, should we wait until Iraq has nukes or go in and stop them before they have the chance to threaten on a global level. Just a thought. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

There is a SR 71 on display at the Kansas Cosmoshere in Hutchinson KS It is very cool I couldn't get over how big it really is. They even have the ejection seat and instrument panel on display in the lobby. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

There was a clip on CNN last night from a guy who runs a web sight call brain-terminal.com he shot some video and ask questions of alot of the people at one protest not sure if it was the one you were at but of all the video i saw, nobody could give an educated answer to questions like how should we solve this problem without war. everyone just kept saying that our government wants to dominate the world by taking over Iraq. so then this guy ask, if thats what we wanted to do why didn't we do it after the first Gulf war. no one could answer that either. I know that you can give educated answers I'm not taking a shot at you with this I just thought it was funny you may want to check out his sight. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

I said Saddam was no Hitler and yes it has a Ron Jeremy look to it. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

By the time you learn from anything its history!!! If England had listened to Churchill earlier they might have been able to rally the rest of the world against Hitler years before they were forced to by the military might of Germany. Bush is no Churchill and Saddam is no Hitler (and if grasshoppers had machine guns birds wouldn't f*#k with them) there are reasons that Saddam has become what he has, look at the Iran Iraq war his army was outnumbered 100 to 1 and they still managed to survive but that is no excuse for his later actions but every countrie has done things that they are not proud of. I just think if we had taken care of this the first time it would have saved alot of trouble. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

There once was a guy named Adolf who was building alot of weapons and doing very bad things to alot of people. No one stepped up and nipped it in the bud and it bit the world in the ass a few years later. HISTORY HAS A STRANGE WAY OF REPEATING ITS SELF!! I'm not saying it will but it can and does. just a thought. DAN SMITH WWW.SKYDIVEWICHITA.COM DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

We never demanded the return of prisoners from Loas since we were not at war with them the Pathet Loa held at least two pilots for most of the veitnam war. I'm not arguing with anyone on this just stating facts that have been documented many times by several different sources. DAN SMITH www.SKYDIVE WICHITA.COM DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

I can't don't know how to post the links here but there tons of info on this case all over the net. You should read some of it its pretty interesting. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

There are three diffirent reports of ground coms. picked up on sat. photos and radio clicks are said to have been heard on a radio freq. that only pilots used in case of emergency( this last part is not a fact the book states it but I havent seen it any where else) I could go into greater detail on the shoot down I just gave you the basics of what I've read. I am good friends with the son of a pilot who's been missing since 65 and I ran across the Speiker case while looking through some documents a few weeks ago. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

On Jan 17 1991 we lost two aircraft. I agree that we have the ability to handle it. what bothers me are the things that slip through the cracks. I will not ask you to explain the mechanism to me although i'm sure i would not be overwhelmed( I've spent years reading on and researching the subject) with all our resources we had trouble confirming the fate of this pilot. I know that alot of it was caused by assumption I'm just suprised that it was allowed to happen. I have read the reports that are availible to the public (books are usually one sided) Based on what I've seen two other pilots saw the flash that is believed to be speikers plane being hit with an air to air missile one of these pilots reported seeing a secondary explosion (several years later it was detirmined that this was the ejection rockets) Those are the facts that I've seen about what happened when he was shot down if you have seen something I havent please enlighten me I'm not arguing with you I just want to know if this is correct or not. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

If you were on the ground in a hostile country during war time wouldn't you expect someone to be coming to get you a little sooner than 11 years later. I know that its not always possible to do anything in a hurry but this isn't the first time we left someone behind. My question is Why don't we have a better way of accounting for missing personnel and why does our government two step around this issue. Is re-election really more important than the life of an American, any American. DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

Has anyone ever heard of Navy pilot Micheal S Speiker. After reading about him I have lost a lot of faith in our Military to protect our servicemen and women. He was shot down in 1991 during the fist night of the Gulf War, a search and rescue operation was never launched and he was presumed dead and pronounced KIA after an investigation of this case he was returned to MIA status in 2001 and at that time was believed to be still alive by many of the investigators. This is not the first case of this as it also acurred in Laos during the vietnam war to several pilots David Hrdlicka was one if my memory serves me correctly. I must say that I agree with Bush that something must be done in Iraq and that military action is the only answer, However if it had been done right the first time Commander Speiker might be home today instead of left behind.

My partner and I are bringing a turbine to our 182 dz for a weekend in march. anyone have any cool ideas for contests or anything else to make a boogie weekend fun. Dan Smith skydive wichita DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com

War although a terrible thing often has a very positive effect on our economy. I just think it is a shame that we invested the money to build most of the Iraqi army and to then go over and defeat it only to have to go do it again because we didn't solve the root of the problem the first time. Had it been done right the first time it very well may have altered the events that made 9/11 possible. JUST MY 2 CENTS Dan Smith Skydive Wichita DAN SMITH www.skydivewichita.com
