The Senkaku Islands are more important than our childrens’ lives. Obviously. Ask McCain. You aren’t an isoloationist are you???

Ummm....I also say “look at a map.” It’s off San Clemente, and much closer to San Diego than Santa Barbara.
San Clemente doesn’t have a Wal-Mart. And all the buildings are blue and kinda fuzzy,
Maybe the Chinese will invade and bring capitalism to California.
The list I listed are the Santa Barbara Channel Islands, sorry that’s just what it is.
Good one
As an aside, the runway there is at the edge of a big cliff giving it some wicked winds. At night when they are doing practice landings for the Navy they shut down all the lights on the base except the red hazard lights on the hillside and the carrier box on the runway. It totally sucks, but it's the best training you can get.
Or 99.9323 and 60.8283 nautical miles.
Do pilots use nautical miles over water. And statue miles over land?
I’ve never heard that. What is your source?
Thanks for the chuckle.
Good One!
This launch was delayed and went off last night.
PEGASUS LAUNCH VISIBILITY
by Brian Webb
Given clear skies and bit of luck, observers over a wide area may be
able to see some portion of Wednesday’s offshore NASA satellite
launch. Launch is targeted for 7:27:34 p.m. PDT during a launch window
that extends from 7:27 to 7:32 p.m.
A converted airliner will carry a Pegasus XL rocket containing the
IRIS satellite from the Orbital Sciences Corp. facility at Vandenberg
Air Force Base to the launch point high above the Pacific about 70
miles southwest of Monterey. When the L-1011 reaches a
three-dimensional point in space at 36.000° north, 123.000° west, and
39,000 feet, it will release the rocket. After a five-second fall,
the Pegasus first stage will ignite and IRIS will begin a 13-minute
climb into orbit.
Nautical miles all the way for flying, but I pulled the distances off google earth and it was in statue miles.
I went out with her in high school. Not the most beautiful girl, but made awesome Sauerbraten.
bttt
One of these clowns tries to invade my space i will rip their frigging throat out.
At this point i have nothing to lose.
Bring it on
Did you read what I wrote?
The list I gave is called “Santa Barbara Channel Islands”.
Yeah right. Wolverines and Marines.
