Do you mean the 1990 war or some current situation. If it is a current situation, let me know what's up, as I haven't been watching the news.

I believe that Saddam Hussein is about to recieve a first hand example of this wise (and very true) historical warning. On a side note, i personally feel that if things heat up and there are more military actions taken in the Gulf that hussein and his band of followers are eliminated with extreme prejudice. They have been running around causing trouble for just too long!;) ~Cbrody ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 13:24:13 -0800 (PST) From: Saul Basgen Subject: Re: Gulf > Hi, pals, what are you thinking about situation at/in Persian Gulf? Check out article on CNN.com, main page. It appears they're talking with the U.N. now. He's been pulling this sort of shit for the past six years, probably nothing to get excited about... until whatever he is hiding is launched... On Iran, I don't think to much will come of that either. War games aren't enough to start a war, especially considering most other countries in the world practice them (The U.S. however, gives 'special consideration' to the Middle East). ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Nov 1997 21:56:20 -0600 From: shonnie holmes Subject: Re: Question on C-141 cargo capacity Dear Johnson, 1. 1,000 pallets of gummy bears, to cause major tooth decay; this will mentally offset the enemies ability to think with clearancy. 2. 5,000 pallets of Channel #5, all asmathic persons will fall into fatal comas. 3. 1 million copies of the quad-city Times, will put them to sleep. 4.

Hail All! Was watching a video clip of M1s in action, and in one scene, taken from what looks to be a camera strapped to the 50 cal at the Commander's hatch, the Abrams dives off a landing craft, and as befits its 65 ton weight promptly sinks. (To well over the top of the turret) ..Change view to another angle, and one sees the tank driving out of the water onto a beach with this great big schnorkel on the engine deck. Is this an experiment, or a feature common only to the Marines' tanks or all M1s? Should there be an 's' after the movement ratings? NTM Forget the bullet with your name on it, it's the one addressed 'To Whom it concerns' that you should worry about. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 00:27:15 -0800 (PST) From: Narve Subject: Re: Newbie with a question - ---shonnie holmes wrote: > but.....if you collect the bones and boil for 6 hours at 380; add 1 pound > butter, a pinch of salt, EASY on the pepper.
