What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Is that Hawaii? It looks like either Hawaii or San Diego, and the smog is tough to tell apart...

The radio tower in the background gives away the location of the barge... er... I mean the USS Heinz shot.

Sutro Tower.

For one Harrier, yes.

Sing, do you mean Sutro Tower, San Francisco? I'm not convinced -- the skyline looks more like Waikiki. But then, you've seen a lot more skylines than I have, so ... Ok, now I'm curious, what's a Navy jet doing in San Fran?

My guess is that the Tomcat was being delivered to the former NAS Alameda for a post guardian. That is the breakwater at Alameda. I had a boat at Ballena Bay (right next door) for years.

That is the view of SFO from the East Bay.

The tower? You mean that nasty bay water didn't give it away?

Think of being at Oakland airport looking at Candlestick. The tanks are the gas / water tanks in whats' called China Basin, if I remember right. The Bay Bridge anchorage and city skyline would be farther right of this view.

We have been closing bases for years...our military is half it's previous size and we have more bases. It costs too much to keep those open that we do not intend to use.

No, he has not cut military benefits. That is a misrepresentation by democrats.

Just gamesmanship. Bush was for resetting combat pay and family support until the uproar caused him to flip flop.

And veterans benefits under Bush have been increased in gross dollars but decreased per veteran to the point (01/03) where the VA announced it had to start turning away new applicants over a certain income level.

What new applicants who make over $15k a year?

whoops thats a misrepresentation by the Democrats!

How come they are called "conservatives" but they run up huge expenses, raise the farm supports, start wars etc....I think they have the wrong nichname!
