Going to Europe and apologizing to them for US citizens being "arrogant,
divisive, derisive." That's rich, especially to a bunch of cowardly Frenchmen who have short memories, and have forgotten who prevented their national language from being German. For a whole continent who we saved. Keep talking, Hussein. And keep ****ing on our veteran father's graves, as well as current service personnel. Nice Commander in Chief. Why is there a heavy odor of human feces in the air? Steve |

I didn't realize you were a British, Commonwealth or Russian citizen... You do realize that the number of British military deaths in the war were 90% as high as US deaths and total British deaths were almost 10% higher than total US deaths. Those numbers are dwarfed by the numbers of Russian deaths. Keep talking, Hussein. And keep ****ing on our veteran father's graves, as well as current service personnel. Nice Commander in Chief. He's the most intelligent president you've had in the last 28 years and the only chance you've got to survive as a super-power. Feel free to want to continue wasting your service men's lives in global ****ing contests. Luckily for them, you aren't making the decisions. Why is there a heavy odor of human feces in the air? Steve Because your political views are full of it? regards Mark Rand RTFM |

They're the only people you can find anywhere that don't like Obama. Everywhere he goes people like him, not like the last loser we had in the White House, you know the one that the right wingers told us would be a great president. Only our home grown right wing nuts can't stand Obama, which in my book proves that he's on the right track. Right wingers hate him. I guess it's time to start calling them haters again, isn't it?

Mark Rand RTFM But to put that in perspective you have to remember that at the time the population of the U.S. was more than twice as large as that of the U.K. So the British casualties were proportionally much higher than ours.

Steve Afterall the previous posts, lets get back to the original one. If you had his job could you do better? Ill come bact to this in a mo. Yes Im over here and a Brit, So were eternally grateful for your efforts in 1914/18 and 1939/45 that is why we call it a special relationship. So when you chose to go to Iraq and Afganistan we were therefor you. Despite the fact were a fraction of the size of the USA. Long may it continue. Now back to "if you had his job" Your new President has been given a very bitter drink to go with his new job. Wars no one wanted, Militant Islam, and a financial meltdown caused by your Bankers greed. So how would you deal with these? Your President is trying veryhard to unite everyone toward solving these problems so give him a chance to get it right. If all you can do is complain and havent make any useful suggestions then shut up. Your just making his job harder. Would you want that if you had his job? Theres only one way to get out of this political and economic mess. Thats to pull together, work hard, create wealth toward a better future for us all in the West. As an afterthought, what you could do with is a Conversion on the road to Damascus. |

And the vast majority of the American public and the world population agree on that. That makes you a member of the tiny minority who wants him to fail. That smacks of an unpatriotic citizen who dishonors those who had given everything for this Country. As for Obama and the vets...he has done more for them in the short time he has been in office than Bush did in the last eight years. Last point..aren't you one of the whiners about OT posts?

TMT 3 officers killed in Pittsburgh shooting By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI, Associated Press Writer Ramit Plushnick- masti, Associated Press Writer 42 mins ago PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh police say a man wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call, killing three of them. Police chief Nate Harper says the motive for Saturday's shooting isn't clear. Friends say the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns. The three dead officers are Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo III. Kelly had been on the force for 14 years and the other two only two years each. Another officer was shot in the hand and a fifth broke his leg on a fence. The gunman, 23-year-old Richard Poplawski, was arrested after a four- hour standoff. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call Saturday morning, killing three of them, a police official said. Friends said he recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns. Neighbors described how a quiet street in the city's Stanton Heights neighborhood turned into a battlefield with hundreds of rounds cracking through the morning air and fallen police officers lying bleeding in the street, their colleagues unable to reach them. Three officers were killed, said a police official at the scene who spoke on condition of anonymity because was not authorized to talk to the media. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard would only say that at least five officers were wounded, but wouldn't give any other details. Friends identified the suspect as Richard Poplawski, 23, but police would not immediately confirm his name. The gunman was arrested after a four-hour standoff, police said. The shooting occurred just two weeks after four police officers were fatally shot March 21 in Oakland, Calif., in the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001. The officers were the first Pittsburgh city officers to die in the line of duty in 18 years. Neighbors said the shooting began at about 7 a.m. and that two officers were shot almost immediately. "When I looked down I saw two police officers laying in the street," said Don Sand, who lives across the street and was awoken by the sound of gunfire. A short time later, more officers, SWAT teams and other law enforcement arrived and a third officer was shot, Sand said. "They couldn't get the scene secure enough to get to them. They were just lying there bleeding," Sand said. "By the time they secured the scene enough to get to them it was way too late." Gail Moschetti, who lives diagonally across the street from the Poplawski house, said she heard hundreds of shots as she and her husband took refuge in their basement. Tom Moffitt, 51, a city firefighter who lives two blocks away, said he came to the scene and heard "hundreds, just hundreds of shots." Police planned to release more details at a mid-afternoon news conference Saturday. Edward Perkovic said Poplawski, his best friend, feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said Poplawski feared that President Barack Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama." Perkovic, 22, said he got a call at work from him in which he said, "Eddie, I am going to die today. ... Tell your family I love them and I love you." Perkovic said: "I heard gunshots and he hung up. ... He sounded like he was in pain, like he got shot." Vire, 23, said Poplawski once had an Internet talk show but that it wasn't successful. Vire said Poplawski had an AK-47 rifle and several powerful handguns, including a .357 Magnum. Another friend, Joe DiMarco, said Poplawski had been laid off from his job at a glass factory earlier this year. DiMarco said he didn't know the name of the company, but knew his friend had been upset about losing his job. The last Pittsburgh police officers killed in the line of duty were Officers Thomas L. Herron and Joseph J. Grill, according to a Web site that tracks police killings. They died after their patrol car collided with another vehicle while chasing a stolen car on March 6, 1991. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 133 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in 2008, a 27 percent decrease from year before and the lowest annual total since 1960. Poplawski had often fought with neighbors and had even gotten into fistfights with a couple, Sand said. "This is a relatively really quiet neighborhood except for him," Sand said. "He was just one of those kids that we knew to stay clear from." Rob Gift, 45, who lives a block away, said the well-kept single-family houses with manicured lawns are home to many police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other city workers. "It's just a very quiet neighborhood," Gift said. |

I'll leave it there. Many good men died defending freedom. Wes More Canadians have died in Afganistan than Americans and Europeans combined. Why? Are most of your lads being shot when driving up to a village with a casserole and offering to feed the vill? Guner No, they are doing the most dangerouas work, in the most dangerous area (Handahar) of the country - where France, Germany, and the other Nato countries won't send their people. Like in the second world war, where the canadians did the dirty work and the yanks got the credit. "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

Afterall the previous posts, lets get back to the original one. If you had his job could you do better? For one term, maybe. Given how the house of representitives can change ever two years, maybe 1/2 a term. I'll come bact to this in a mo. Yes Im over here and a Brit, So were eternally grateful for your efforts in 1914/18 and 1939/45 that is why we call it a special relationship. A lot of us still think of the UK as the mother country. We still have a war bride (wwII) in the family, alive and kicking. Aunt Peg. Our gain, your loss. So when you chose to go to Iraq and Afganistan we were therefor you. Despite the fact were a fraction of the size of the USA. Long may it continue. Hopefully we helped in the Faulklands. The assistance of the UK in many things has always been appreciated at least by me. Nice to see a friend along side in a dustup. Now back to "if you had his job" Your new President has been given a very bitter drink to go with his new job. Wars no one wanted, Militant Islam, and a financial meltdown caused by your Bankers greed. Militant Islam has been around for a while. Bush took his stand, we await how Obama takes his stand. No one sane wants war. War is the destruction of potential and past productivity. That bankers greed should be coupled with politicans greed. One was enabled by the other. So how would you deal with these? Your President is trying veryhard to unite everyone toward solving these problems so give him a chance to get it right. If all you can do is complain and havent make any useful suggestions then shut up. Your just making his job harder. I've been rather standoffish giving him time. A bit of feedback though telling him that that dog doesn't hunt is feedback. I'm sure you are aware of the political practice of sending up a trial balloon to test the waters. How is those waters tested unless push back is provided? Would you want that if you had his job? Theres only one way to get out of this political and economic mess. Thats to pull together, work hard, create wealth toward a better future for us all in the West. I hope we can figure out how do drive our selves out of the ditch. The EU seems to be taking the conservative approach. It is really odd when I'm rooting for the EU. As an afterthought, what you could do with is a Conversion on the road to Damascus. I don't grok that. Wes |

Let the Record show that "Buerste" on or about Fri,
3 Apr 2009 22:11:53 -0400 did write/type or cause to appear in rec.crafts.metalworking the following: "Larry Jaques" wrote in message snip If we hadn't joined in WWII, would there still -be- a Great Britain? I doubt I'm alone in "rather doubting it." I wonder if we would be better off if Germany had won. Hitler and that philosophy would have passed quickly Define "quickly". The same could be said in an alternate universe where the Bolshevik Soviet Union didn't last "Lenin and that philosophy would have passed quickly..." where as in this timeline, it passed "quickly" if you consider 70 years to be a short time. and good sense would have prevailed and led the world into peace and prosperity. ...sure beats the socialism we're heading into. Unfortunately, Hitler lead a party called "The German Worker's National Socialist Party". A left deviation from the Marxist - Hegelian idea, much as the Bolshevikiis were a Right deviation. (And the Trotskyites were even more out of line.) - pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |
