rockets as terrorist weapons

When I was 18 I was in a accident and ended up through the windshield. All the medical bills were paid by me, myself and I(as they should be) How and why would you be footing the bill if someone is dumb enough not to wear their seatbelt?

Libertarians should all be proactively jailed. They are necessarily radicals like our founders were.

They'll never take me alive, I ain't going back to prison.

I would say that but I never spent a first night in prison.

Prison is easy, jail is hard. no fresh air, no place to exercise, just sit in a room non-stop for your period of time.

Prison inmates have yards to play in. jails don't

Here in MN you have to meet certain conditions to qualify for unemployment. Being fired is meaning being fired for incompetence. Legitiment layoff's are whole different thing. There is a difference.

I had some friends that found this out the hard way. If only they listened to me and not take employment for granted then they wouldn't have had to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the school of hard knocks is the best education.

Obviously this has a lot to do with the local economy.

Ray has the rules figured out.

Hey Ray, if you are an EMPLOYER (of aboout 20 people) and your company gets ripped off or blackballed you don't get unemployment. It's too bad so sad.

Jerry

I'm not aware of _any_ circumstance in which an employer/owner would get unemployment.

Not true Ray, you can't usually draw unemployment if you are fired "for cause". This would be if you got caught stealing, or breaking the law, not just being bad at your job. Note: this is how it is in Illinois, other states may vary.

It's a yahoo news clip taken from the A/P. I think the BATF is at it again... One of the rockets didn't launch properly and lit the van ablaze. All in all, none of the rockets accomplished their main mission very successfully. Most missed their targets, those that did hit did less damage than a car -not- packed with explosives.

From the article:

Dangit, Steve, you beat me to it. I heard the story on the news this morning while I was on the treadmill. I kept thinking, "Was it terrorists or the BATFEces?" (Is there a difference? :)

One rocket from the attack struck the Sheraton Hotel but caused only minor damage. A second exploded in the parking lot of the Baghdad Hotel, used by Western security contractors.

The U.S. military said insurgents were aiming for the nearby Green Zone, the heavily guarded area across the Tigris River that houses the U.S. Embassy and offices of Iraq's newly sovereign interim government. The rockets fell short, and one destroyed another vehicle.

In a separate attack in central Baghdad, insurgents fired rockets near the Marjam Hotel, which also is used by Westerners. One rocket struck a statue in nearby Wathik Square and another landed near the Indonesian Embassy without exploding, police said.

Sounds pretty ineffective to me and these were MILITARY MLRS.

Not much.

Aw come on now. You expect us to believe that launching rockets out of the back of a van can set the van on fire.

At least we know who they learned how to be terrorists from :-)

Maybe that was the idea... the BATF edited out the van-catching-on-fire part, snuck the censored version of the tape out to the Iraqi rebels, and then told the government to "just watch for burning vans".

When I heard it on the news, I just figured that the ATF was opening a Baghdad office.

The difference is, terrorists have no power to infringe on your rights. ATF does.
