The sign of "Coercion"
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has already started her 2008 presidential campaign by aligning herself with the military and pretending to be tough on terror. Fortunately, the ultra-liberal Hillary has yet to brainwash all of the voting public in to believing that her symbolism is really substance.. Many have never forgotten that when she was co-president for eight years she was quoted as saying : ' I loathe the military.'
The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of 'coercion' with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo---perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington D.C is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in
the nation, than you are in Iraq.........Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington

Germany's Water Bridge OVER a river
WaterBridge in Germany . What a feat!Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering!
This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the f ormer East and West Germany, as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.
To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists .
QUESTION :
Did that bridge have to be
designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?
Answer:
It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship,
regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded .

Conduct unbecoming an officer
So it's 4am and I am coming home from Poker with cash in my pocket for the first time in a long time. They were pretty messed up by the end of the noght, but since I was the only one driving home, I stayed sober.
I told of a time when my wife and I invited some people from work to get a bigger two-table game. This one divorced-mom-kinda-chick from my work won the whole thing that night. However, she didn't refrain from showing the complete bitty to us all as she did it.
Man it was awful and I never trusted her since. She wasn't there for the social aspect with possibility of cash on the side as a bonus.
A few years later she asked for a raise after a review and got denied. 4 days after that there was a letter from her attorny claiming sexual harassment. It stated that myself and another worker were talking about whetther or not she had ... er, "frontal enhancement" to her chest region.
-Whether or not we discussed it, it isn't sexual harassment.-
On the spot she was given a notice of "we'll help you find a new job". She left the "meeting" and never returned.
But the point is I didn't trust her as soon as I saw that side come out at poker. You can learn alot when you play cards. (I learn most of my game from my wife- she's an absolute shark) After all was said and done, my CEO was cool enough to ask me why I never said anything to him about my gut feeling. My only response was "She was your number one. What did my opinion matter?"
I am an easy target for something like that. I take things to the edge- but I remain so accutely aware of that edge I don't "drop off". If I was in the military I bet I would get myself into
some trouble with that. If I didn't get kicked out first for spouting off to some higher ranking jackass.

New Boeing Fighter/Bomber
One of our newest planes on a carrier: Check out the driver.... (4th photo down..
The plane in these pictures is still officially the "Air
Vehicle Number 1," a prototype, on board the USS George
Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still
Top Secret but certainly not yet made public.
It will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range) super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range. Awesome!
Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the F/A-37..LT Kara Wade
For the first time in over 20 some odd years, three carrier strike groups got together in formation for a great photo op..
From top to bottom are the aircraft carriers, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, KITTY HAWK, and RONALD REAGAN.
We even had Air Force planes fly-over, see the B-2 Stealt h Bomber in the fifth & seventh picture down. The only warships not seen in the photos are the 4 nuclear powered submarines st andin g guard. WOW!

My Lawbreaker
My Christ broke the laws
Take a minute of pause
take a look at the laws
and the men who made them
He knew Truth in the Plan
They asked 'n He said "I Am"
Got into an awful jam
Redeeming the men who opposed Him
Take a minute of pause
