Hopefully, Bush is done with his overseas adventures and he will hold off on any more critical foreign policy decisions until a different administration takes over. Unfortunately, we Yanks may not get anything better. :shock:

US 'Iran attack plans' revealed

US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country's military infrastructure, the BBC has learned.
It is understood that any such attack - if ordered - would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

No doubt there is a plan. The administration would be remiss not to have a plan.

There is probably every kind of plan from a simple air strike to a full blown nuclear holocaust with Russian and Syrian intervention, etc. and probably about two-hundred other scenarios of lesser impact.

Those Pentagon beaurocrats are paid to workup all these kinds of scenarios.

"hello WOPR, let's play global thermal nuclear war."

Bush reads "My Pet Goat." Do you seriously think he knows what the word "contingency" means?

Strange... you look short in your avatar. :lol:

Anyway, by restricting access to certain europeans and asians, we leave more room for illegals from the south.

You could try smoking some funny mushrooms or other exotic plants. That might do it.



Monk! Stop picking on my landscaping crew!!

A 7,300-year-old home with a timber floor, remnants of food supplies and blackberry seeds are among the findings in a Neolithic settlement near the lakes of Vegoritis, Petres, Heimatitida and Zazari. Garments, women’s fashions and burial customs in northern Eordaia 3,000 years ago are coming to light among the hundreds of funeral offerings in a forgotten necropolis dating from the Iron Age in western Macedonia.
we need a pre-sumer thread I think!

English Heritage believes there was a Roman community at Silbury Hill about 2,000 years ago.

The 130ft Neolithic mound near Avebury - one of Europe's largest prehistoric monuments - is thought to have been created some 3,000 years earlier.
An article about a Roman settlement at Silbury hill. I have to admit, I don't know why this is all over the news, but it is. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Roman settlement over there. I guess it's because of Silbury hill, although I don't see any connection.

But now, armed with a custom-built machine known as the Ultrachron, University of Massachusetts Amherst scientists are refining a technique that allows them to pin dates to geologic processes with unprecedented precision. The research is already providing new information on the expansion of the North American continent and the growth of the Himalayas, and could help geologists re-evaluate current debates such as the “Snowball Earth” hypothesis.
Now this is great technology.
