Hello Max. I'm afraid you will see them sooner than most of us. They will be driving cab in NYC soon...
Unless, sir, we've fitted the unit with motion devices, sir.

I wonder if they have automatic detonators in those copters for instances such as this?
I wonder what the bookmakers in Vegas have a spread on if Saddam makes it to see his 67th birthday in April?

Uday Hussein is dead, dead, DEAD! The chief orchestrator of Sep 11 is dead. DEAD! Blown up in his little fortress. The U.S. is swiftly moving in on Baghdad and I couldn't be happier. It's been a year and a half. Three days 'till Baghdad.
Zipadee-doo-dah
Zipadee-aayyy
My, Oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Sing it with me, bleeding hearts!
Pushing the clouds back.
Making my way.
Wonderful feeling!
Wonderful day! |

Oddly Enough - Reuters
GAMBLERS PLACE WAGERS ON SADDAM'S DEMISE
Mon Mar 24,11:20 AM ET
By Philip Klein
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While pundits around the globe speculated on the fate of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), others were putting money on it.
Offering wagers on the outcome of the war in Iraq (news - web sites) has been scorned as distasteful by major bookmakers from London to Las Vegas, but several Web sites are giving gamblers the opportunity to put money on whether Saddam will survive.
On the Web site Tradesports.com, people can buy contracts for $10 on future events, such as the Academy Awards (news - web sites), and trade them.
On Friday, as rumors swirled through financial markets that Saddam had been killed, futures reflecting the chance that Saddam would not be leader of Iraq by the end of March rose to 79 percent, from 65 percent earlier in the day, and from about 20 percent earlier this month, according to Tradesports.com.
"The majority of our people come from the financial and trading community and they use the very same skills they use in their day jobs," Tradesports.com Chief Executive John Delaney said. Gamblers have traded over $1 million in contracts on Saddam's fate since the proposition was posted in September, he said.
This makes it the second most-traded item, after U.S. college basketball's championship tournament, traditionally one of the most popular bets of the year. The site also offers contracts on politics, economic news and financial market performance.
Delaney said he does not believe it is distasteful to offer a wager on Hussein's fate, but said he would not post contracts on such things as the number of war casualties.
"We've gotten requests that we wouldn't consider listing," he said, while declining to be more specific.
Other gaming companies said they won't touch Iraq.
"This is far too serious and involves the loss of lives and, therefore, shouldn't be seen as a trivial or sporting event," said Alan Feldman, a spokesman for MGM Mirage, the second-largest casino operator in the United States.
Warren Lush, a spokesman for London-based Ladbrokes Ltd said, "We constantly get inquiries, I have to admit, but it's something we won't do and never have done."
Eddie King, a spokesman for Costa Rica-based Betonsports.com said they have taken about $300,000 in bets relating to Iraq, most for $5 or $10 and the highest for $500. That compares with the $200 million the Web site expects to take in from this month's college basketball tournament.
Visitors to the site could place bets on a variety of propositions, such as whether Saddam would be dead or exiled by the end of June and when ground troops would move into Iraq.
"These are questions we ask each other at breakfast, lunch and dinner, on the street or hanging out at the office, now people have the option to bet on it," King said, adding that the bets were only offered at the request of customers.

Fiji Jim your posts become less and less sharp. You are just repeating yourself. Find yourself another victim to express your frustrations to. You have become a record which has been played over and over again. And it is not even a Rolling Stones record. Course not because you represent the opposite everything the Stones stand for.Therefore it is very strange what you do on this board. Think you're more a kind of Henry Rollins adept.

Hey CS....You are still asking where you can get your unit relieved? Did'nt your war buddy Natalie Maines of that thrilling group Dixie Chicks handle you yet? Oh, BTW, did you see how your buddy Saddam has given his troops gas masks? Yep, US Troops found them this morning on the poor slob fighters. He's even drawn a line around Baghdad, which if crossed by US/Brit/Aussie troops he will use, guess what, banned chemical weapons. Wonder where he got them, as he has not had them for twelve years? His lackey ambassador said so in front of the UN. What a surprise! Would you think his friends the Germans helped him? Or how about the Russians? Or the Champion of the Weak Jacques "Show us your Crack-rhymes with Iraq" Chirac of that loser nation France? Those hero leaders of Canada and Mexico are right up there amoung the dispicable also.
Watch how all those loser nations who had the gaul to question the current offensive to rid another country of WMD will come running to the coalition side when that happens, with there 18 wheel trucks ready to have another monetary handout from the United States. I hope our country is ready to shut of the financial faucet to those type of countries. Anyone who lives in one of those countries better be ready to work for a change, instead of living off the gravy train the US has provided for far too long.
Have a great day in your little world, CS. Just think of the POW's whom are being tormented by some little Iraq jerk, or the parents who will get the knock on their door, informing them their son/daughter will not be coming home,
so folks like you can cheer on Saddam. Once you come to your senses you will realize Saddam is the Hitler to our generation, nothing should stop his irradication, that the Coalition of the Willing is right. |

One of my first reactions to 9/11 was that I thought many people would learn to be more thankful for how lucky we are to have the freedom and luxuries we have. Considering conditions in S.A., Asia, the Middle East, etc., we have it so easy here. Yes, of course we all have the right to protest, but at a certain point it does become hypocritical when you learn the facts. Revolutions have eliminated a lot of evil in this world and they will always be necessary to stamp out evildoers such as Sadaam. As far as I'm concerned, the U.N. is virtually moot at this point. France and Russia have (most recently) deemed it so. And Israel has not been dealt with because they are not a threat to us and they are not ruled and tortured by the Devil. God bless the heroes this country has produced which have fought, and will continue to fight, for the right for me to live, work and play in extreme prosperity. All humans on the planet deserve the same rights. And also, that includes the right to charge $4 for a cup of coffee and $400 for a concert ticket!

Do you know that there are more Dolphins and Sea Lions helping out in this war than French and Germans?
Brave creatures that deserve our respect!
I propose, after the war, that we sink France and give it to them.
What say you?

Mmm-hmm. It would be fitting. I know we're dealing with a sub-species in Iraq, but I also wonder about the French.

Nellcote thank you for delevering chemical weapons to Iraq for years (when Saddam was still you ally) and for poisoning the Vietnamese people with napalm. Maybe have a chat with the the people who have survived the Pinochet regime. Congratulations my brave man! Maybe next time let your brains talk instead of your muscles. |

Mr. CS; Thus, in your eyes, we in the States are also responsible for
Global Warming
Rwanda
Cuba
Chinese intervenion into Tibet
Bombing in Bali
Mad Cow disease
Apartheid in South Africa
Any South American country economy going bankrupt
Chernobyl disaster
Chechen rebels
Extinction of the Lowland Gorilla
Several Papal assination attempts
Shall I continue?
You see, CS, in the little closet you call home, it's easy for you to disseminate your diatribe about how we somehow are responsible for making Saddam what he is. There is no denial of the US alliance with Saddam after the Iranian revolution. This was a short lived chapter. US has not had ties with this regime for over 20 years.
Forgive me, however, you really need to have a more complete grasp on the history of the present Iraqi regime, how it has come to power, how they have fostered terrorism around the world. Why not make a concious attempt to enlighten yourself in the entirety, by reading some information on this matter, before you accuse.
Maybe in that period, you can come up with a better name.

Nellcote, maybe you should study history a bit more:
Global Warming: The US is responsible for 30% of the global CO2 emission, and has by far the most polluting industry. This is the sole reason the US never agreed with the Kyoto Protocol. BTW, second place is held by China, with 10% of the CO2 emission
Rwanda: The Tutsi�s rebelle against the US-supported Hutsi�s, as the Hutsi�s (the minority) possessed 80% of the economic assets.
Cuba: in 1958 the US possessed 90 % of all industry, whorehouses etc. etc. Batista was a US prot�g�. After Castro kicked Batista out, the US put a ridiculous embargo on Cuba, drowning the country in poverty. Why? Because Castro accepted help by the Russians.
Bombing in Bali: The bombing was against the American tourists visiting the disco that was bombed.
Apartheid in South Africa: That was my country, Holland.
Any South American country economy going bankrupt: Pinochet of Chili was put in power by the US, the junta of Videla of Argentina was supported by the US, the war on drugs has put Colombia into deep poverty, Noriega of Pananma was an US prot�g�.

Hey Mathy;
So, if I'm reading this correctly, if US gets involved in any country, for anything, the ills of that country are the US fault? Bullocks! It's all about choice. Pretty lousy tactical choice the US made about sixty years ago in Europe now was'nt it? Seems to me you all would be walking slightly different if a certain mustached little twerp was left unchecked. There again, it's easy to forget. Turn the way back machine to, let's say 1944. Pretty good living in Holland, right? Running from SS troops, ready to ship folks off for a one way train ride. Who took care of this situation? |

Hey everyone, Mathias is back with his parade of anti US
rants. Holland? Instead of playing guitar in a cheesy "Gun N Roses" cover band you would be playing in some Hitler or Stalin tribute band if it wasn't for the US.
It must burn your fingers to play all of those American made guitars eh Mathias? Damn that must piss you off
We are the biggest polluter because we produce the most.
You know, things like tanks and planes to liberate Europe TWICE and things like Gibson and Fender guitars
On a percentage basis we produce more than we pollute
so we are good neighbors
Kyoto? You can't be that stupid. Ya, the US is going to sign
on to a treaty where China and Mexico and several others
can INCREASE and have NO limitations on pollution (production) while the US has to scale back.
Kyoto = keep the US down.
Nice try. |

And that is just another problem with Americans: you guys are so patriotic it is sick making. Just the slightest form of criticism is enough to have Americans draw guns and start shooting.
I am NOT against the US or any other country. Every country, including my very own Holland, has it good and bad sides. I love Holland as much as I hate it. When we have a problem in Holland we solve it by talking about it just as long until the problem has dissapeared. We handle problems by not handling them at all.
Certain things I just love about the US: Gibson and Fender guitars, everything Ampeg ever made, the sheer possibilities of the country, Bourbon, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans. But there are also aspects I dislike about America.
But again, study some history:
>Instead of playing guitar in a cheesy "Gun N Roses" cover >band you would be playing in some Hitler or Stalin tribute >band if it wasn't for the US.
Holland was liberated by the Russian and Canadian army, not the American army.
>We are the biggest polluter because we produce the most.
No, this is not true. It is because the US feels that environmental measurements costs too much money. The US industry is about as big as the German and British industry combined, but the Germand and British industry isn't half as polluting.
>on to a treaty where China and Mexico and several others
>can INCREASE and have NO limitations on pollution
That is because China has a growing industry and the US not. Within their growth China is not allowed to produce more pollution. So, the effect for both China and the US is the same: the reduction the pollution and energy consumption.

"Holland was liberated by the Russian and Canadian army, not the American army."
there where no russians in holland, the nver came further then let me think, the elbe? (not sure)
if there where Russians in holland, we would be talking russian now!
the liberators:
Polish, english and the 101 first airborne in 1944
further more, after the winter in 1945 I think it was patton along with an army of many many nationalities who freed Holland

You hit the nail on the head man! It's probably that old Wild West attitude. If you critisize Americans many of them immediately start defending themselves (and accusing you of anti-Americanism) and proclaiming how fantastic they are. All that at gunpoint. It is sick making and arouses much hate. But I don't think they will ever learn.
