All I know is F16s have been buzzing around in the L.A. skies for the last two days.

The newspaper mentioned Las Vegas as a Target....

BUt beyond that the Newspaper mentioned the Bowl Games as possible targets.

Here in LV I always here and see the F16's and A10's, they fly over in the mornining at about 11AM. I think they are on the way to the test range up around Area 51.

CamB:

Heavens...It isn't an argument. It is an exchange of ideas. I would be very interested in your take on the difference between faith and religion. It would add to my understanding of how my fellow crewmembers on this planet think. My experience after being in various places around the globe is probably different than a lot of people. The situation in Ireland, as explained to me by residents is not so much about religion as it is politics. Sometimes, these "differences of opinion" go on so long that the combatents forget what the problem was in the first place. When one's land is given away without one's consent to favorites of the court, it does tend to upset one. This applies to other areas of the world as well. As for the M.E., much of it is still a feudal society with warlords who brook no opposition to their rule. There can be no "loyal opposition", since those who oppose represent a threat and are quickly dispensed with. It is an interesting world, and those of us who live in more tolerant societies cannot fully understand how these other regions operate. I know I don't.

Happy Holidays

Bob

Well, they just cancelled three Air France flights from Paris to L.A.

Sounds as if L.A. is a high priority target...

Wow, three Air France flights.
I guess they (terrorists) could count on zero resistance from the French.

Well, I suppose there would be some Americans on that flight too; but they would be held in check (from storming after any hi-jackers) by the French proclaiming, no-no-no, now is not the tiiiiime. Settle down. . .enjoy some cheeeese.

Ha

It will be interesting to see what/who specifically, lead to the groundings.

I suppose if Aurels conspiracy theories were correct, Bush would have let the Air France planes into the US air-space, so that our F16 boys could shoot them out of the sky .. . .ya know; to fuel more war AND piss-off the French a bit more.

Or maybe this time, Bush was advised to listen to the french intelligence, in order to lessen the suspiscion...

A Merry Christmas to all. I have enjoyed enlighting you all this year, although there are still many years of work ahead...

no, I'll have to check the news on that one. makes you wonder what they know that we don't

hmm, I wonder if they'll add more levels like "outrageous," "insane," and "downright ludicrous"

I know, the top level should be called XTREME
