And why not the innocent folks at New River Valley while we're he's at it?

Thanks for that.

The frequent wishing for N.Y. and L.A. to be bombed is no longer acceptable humor IMHO.

Good Americans would not wish any more horror on any of their fellow Americans.

Pyongyang: We'll put a torch to New York

In other words: Someone please notice me and my stupid hair and my sorry ass excuse for a country.

I understand that nuke material has a distinctive "signature" that will allow us to track it back to the reactor that produced it, but what if that material is delivered via a state-less terror group?

Easy enought to deal with.
Wipe out the country that registered the ship, and/or crewed it.
Perhaps then "countries of registry" might be more selective?

Just like the American and British uniforms that Saddam bought.
Why has no one thought to ask who sold them to him?

AAA= Anti Aircraft Artillery

[xsrdx]

Sorry about the dupe - late to the party.

AAA Batteries either shoot down aircraft or power your pager, depending on the context. Fun with acronyms.

[ArGee]

A Salton Battery.

It's a good thing you had the polarities straight or he migh also have had to ticket you for: "dis-charging into the lake"

Shalom.

Appearances are deceiving, and that is just what they are counting on. Deception to the world they have changed is their method of operation.

Russia as a country within is in disarray, however the government dealing to the outside world is no different.

Else why is Russia/Putin traveling the world, making deals with France/Germany going to China, selling nuclear to Iran, talking with potential deal with Syria to get nuclear, on and on and on. Russia has the most to loose if Saddam is removed and they could care less what happens to America.

It is their goal to regain their status of a superpower whatever method necessary. To ignore what they do and believe what they say is at ones own peril.

If Russia looses this one they will be out for revenge so get ready.

Does that include Bill and Hillary?

If so, then I guess I'm not a Good American any more.

Shalom.

AAA: Anti-aircraft artillery

[steve-b]

On the same website, it shows the exact locations of the 22 AAA batteries protecting the site.

I knew that North Korea didn't have a decent electrical grid, but this is ridiculous....

[steve-b]

After we are done, we will turn over pork bellied Kim Jong Ill to all the people he starved and let them decide what to do with him. I'm sure they have some creative ideas.

Don't forget to bring some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

[The Great Satan]

Remember the Big Talk=Small Penis rule.

Are you suggesting President Bush has a small penis?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

They might send WEAPONS INSPECTORS???????

They've had inspectors in there all along.
Shows you how well inspectors work.

[katnip]

You can wish anything you want on anyone you want I guess.

When someone thinks it's funny to hope for NK to bomb a coupla extra American cities along with the ones they've threatened, it kinda makes me sick to my stomach.

But you can wish anything you want. It's America.

Shalom to you too.

I understand your point. The humor is different here on FR than it is in most other places. We have different tensions and different ways to release the tensions.

Shalom.

I doubt anyone from NY would find that humorous, regardless how long they've been here on FR.

Shalom to you too.

ever see "The Mouse That Roared"?

Just what is it that Russia is going to loose? Their Dog? Hell? The Moose? That $4 billion defense budget buys a lot of bang don't you think? Butt, seriesly, I think we may just have to pull an Osirak-style raid on Pyong-byan. Them having two nukes is one thing. Them using nukes for foreign exchange is quite another.

"What would the extry "A" be for?"

Obviously.

...the smallest kind.

[OldCorps]

"AAA batteries are anti aircraft batteries"

yeah, but i use them in my tv remote.
