Maybe the protest by Pelosi shows the awarding of the refueling tanker project to EADS was a good idea……

Perhaps Boeing should not have been trying to rip-off the American public by artificially inflating the cost of the project.

Perhaps the fact the EADS plane can carry more fuel and more people, at a lower cost should be considered a good use of our tax dollars. The fact this project will create jobs in the USA – estimated at 25,000 is good. The fact the UNION (associasted with Boeing wokers) is upset is another good thing – but they were upsent at Boeing OUTSOURCING work to countries / workers outside the USA (and some are in China).

The air force originally chose Boeing to supply it with 100 tankers. But Congress cancelled the deal after it emerged that Darleen Druyun, a former top air force acquisitions official, had held illegal job discussions with Boeing while still negotiating the deal. Ms Druyun admitted boosting the value of the deal to help Boeing.

What is Barcelona going to do?

Marie–

No- this is the first I heard Interpol et al are being asked to examine the computers– smart move! cover your ass!

I don’t know if Adam mentioned this, but Colombia has asked Interpol and other international agencies to examine the computers and report, to allay any fears or musing (actually accusations) that they have been tampered with.

There are reports of night flights from Barcelona towards Amazonas State.

Terri-
Me three.

Adam–
You are one busy guy today–another live report with Shep tonight. Stay on that hilltop above the city – good reception there – good view too.
So, are you invited to the big meeting?

I did too. Thanks Terri

The Air Force decision to give a major defense contract to a European company has sparked some outrage on Capitol Hill, but not nearly enough.

Tell Congress how outraged you are that the U.S. Air Force is choosing to ship American jobs overseas.

I DID.

Yes, Susan. I just saw it. They’re right and Pelosi, Reid and the others are wrong.

Marie–

I knew you would connect the dots– I just knew it–

Fox is actually having a discussion about FARC and free trade on the All Star Panel- They are discussing to push the free trade as it has sat for over a year and a half-

Rod- I saw your grandmother joke– I had seen that awhile back when someone sent it to me- I should see what I have saved and send you a few for your humor of the day-

“airport in Manta, Ecuador”. Interesting that Correa offered it to the Chinese in December. That was one of the points in the FARC memo from February recovered from Reyes’ computer – Correa offering not to renew the US lease to that airport as part of his good relations with the FARC.

Adam–

Have you been reading all the posts here when you did your coverage I just saw? I see there is a bit of Karen 2’s Congressman Connie Mack she brought up this morning– Patty’s and my reference to Nicaragua- Marie’s theory as to what Chavez is doing- and LDG’s thoughts too-

I see you are in Bogotá, Colombia– saludos to my old home–I can now add another country on to your list! How do you like Bogotá? Please don’t forget the pictures– I want to see what Bogotá is like presently– thanks!

I really liked your coverage I just saw– you had much more to say in this one than this morning on Fox and Friends-

and we have been busy here too– as you probably noticed! (preceding thread)

Terri – thanks for the petition link – signed just now.

You guys need to lighten the mood a little

http://www.usapatriotsamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?p=58126#post58126

From the article posted abovve– Correa is not renewing the lease to the US but offering it to China instead– hmm? What does this tell me?

I was just skimming through Ecuador and I just saw this dated December, 2007- which is not too remote from the past-

Ecuador’s president has offered the Chinese government an airbase currently serving as one of the last U.S. military outposts in South America.

Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said during his recent visit to China that he would offer Beijing a lease on the Manta Airport, the presidential website reported last week.
Currently, Manta is used by U.S. military forces for operations. The contract is up in 2009 and Correa will not renew it, a transport and public works ministry communications official told BNamericas.

Correa said access to the air base is part of a plan for Manta to become a “doorway” for China’s entry to Latin America.

Air base operations are limited to one building, but it shares the runway with the city’s Eloy Alfaro international airport terminal.

Terminales del Ecuador, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Port Holdings, is already operating Manta’s port. Government officials have already spoken of additional Chinese investment for such projects as a rail system. Hutchison has close ties to communist leaders in Beijing and also operates ports at both ends of the Panama Canal.

Terri-

I signed one too last night- I got an email from grassroots as thanks to you, I am now a member!
LOL

OOPS–

Patty, my darling, I see you have a Nicaragua link up too– Well, we have two links up now-

I just knew Nicaragua was going to pull something– Chavez’s compadre-

Isn’t that awful about the students? I guess the school was at the entrance or exit of Jerusaleum?

http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN0227633020080306

Nicaragua is at it too with Colombia–

Horrible thing in Jerusaleum– those 10 students—–

How is Kathy in Texas? The freak snow storm there?

Eight people were reported to be killed and approximately 35 wounded in a terror attack at a seminary located near the entrance to Jerusalem on Thursday evening.

The exact number of people killed was yet to be confirmed, but Magen David Adom have confirmed 10 wounded civilians including three seriously. One terrorist was said to be dead.

Witnesses said that only one terrorist had entered the building and that he managed to fire 500-600 bullets over the course of 10 minutes before he was killed.

Although witnesses claimed only a single terrorist carried out the attack, police were searching the building for an additional terrorist, preventing the entrance of rescue workers.

The incident occurred when at least one terrorist entered the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva in the neighborhood of Kiryat Moshe carrying weapons. The terrorist was not wearing a suicide-bomb belt as earlier reported.

The gunman entered a dining hall where about 80 people were gathered, witnesses said, and opened fire. “There are at least seven killed and 10 people wounded,” said Eli Dein, director of Israel’s rescue service.

Approximately 50 ambulances were sent to the scene and a 16-year-old boy in serious condition and suffering from chest wounds was seen being evacuated from the scene.

Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski told Channel 2, “It’s very sad tonight in Jerusalem – many people were killed in the heart of Jerusalem.”

In Gaza City, residents went out into the streets and fired rifles in celebration in the air after hearing news of the attack on the seminary.

No terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The public can call the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva’s emergency hotline: 026524793.

AP contributed to this report.

how ironic is it when you guys were disucssing foxs lack of coverage and now that point is further proven … grrr

John,

I’m watching israeli news …… sicking how fox is talking election stuff when this is going on…

this is the biggest terror attack in years

somthing will happen becuz of this ……….

sorry to say adam , im dissapointed in fox news now in their coverage of this

Avi……..CNN AND MSNBC are at full coverage

fox isnt covering this …………. barely

Retread,

also note these are not your avg Israelis they are super religous ones ….. they will demand israel do somthing…. they dont play hooki…..

This is sicking….

May God Bless Them ALL!!!!!

Adam Thank you for all you do & PLEASE stay safe!

Israel must respond with overwhelming force

The tragic joke of the past fifty years is trying to make peace with a bunch of savages

The worst part for me is President Bush will urge that Israel restrain its response when from experiance he should shut up and allow Israel to defend itself.

Let me re-word that…….the ‘general population’ of Palestinians knew this was coming………’

If the time lines are correct that only leaves less than 15 minutes between the incident and the dancing in the streets………..makes me think that the Palestinians knew this was coming.

Be safe Avi……..

shooting still being heard…..

Israel will have to do somthing ……….. and it will have to be somthing big………….. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I am tired of playing nice.

I am tired of making civilized people live in fear, just so the left can blame us for the barbarians being savages

Its time for Israel and the West to adopt Gen Shermans tactics and make our enemies howl.

Avi
I remember when the bastards danced in the streets on 911

Hi Avi–
Jewish yes, I left that part out.
Good to see you– be safe my friend!

Seems to be a coordinated attack shooter/s and suicide bomber, soft target (students)

Is the Israeli govt gonna tell the world to kiss its a@@ and hunt the palestinians into gaza and finish this war once and for all?

Probably not

Be very careful

thanks!

TERRROR ATTACK ??????????? OOO S HT

initial reports: One hurt in shooting at J’lem yeshiva
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Israel, Palestinians

At least one person was moderately wounded in a shooting at a Jerusalem yeshiva Thursday evening, Magen David Adom emergency medical services said.

The shooting occurred at the Merkaz Harav yeshiva in the capital.

It was unclear how many assailants were involved, or whether the incident was a terrorist attack.

According to some of the reports from the scene, the incident is ongoing and shots are still being heard.

Israel Radio reported that a large number of police and emergency medical personnel had either arrived or were en route to the scene

Avi

ouch hahahah

Retread,

I dont think hes that old

Adam

Is Tobin prior service USMC?

I knew a Sgt. Tobin back in ‘83.

I believe that the Venezualians are more than capable of revitalizing their nation…it is in their God given nature to be free of despots, that is why IMO most dictators sooner or later get around to attacking or subverting religious institutions.

The question is time or when will they tire of Chavez and anybody else that would stripe them of their freedoms. When they tire, when they are angry enough, they will remove the stench of Chavez from their nostriles.

One thing we should note here. Hugo is putting a near unbearable strain on Venezuala’s economy now that he has mobilized his army that is going to put an even larger burden on the economy. This could be the begining of the end of his office. My only question is, when Chavez is gone will Venezuala’s people accept another castro wannabe?

Adam,

between the live desk and studio B in the last few weeks i havent seen Tobin or Rina….. =/

Adam—
Just saw your latest live report- great and informative.
Much Better reception this time; looks like you found some higher ground to stand on.

going to the gas station and enjoy my day off now…..

@Adam Housley (or staff)

One last place to look for analysis on where Venezuela is going with this is the subscriber-site Stratfor. You may well already be a subscriber there, if so there is a new analysis there on why Venezuela “…dare not turn this into a real fight.” Just FYI.

Well, hope we (all of us) have been of some help here, but it is time to do that sleep Susan wished me well for. Be well and safe, All.
((departs))

@John

perhaps there is a different defintion of “self amusement” that applies there…

((snort))

LDG…..

” self amusement “?

Isn’t that what the porn sites are for?

re: Susan’s (above)

“I just had to read your link LDG–”

wonderful! Now we can just hope our good host here gets time to read it as well. That *is* afterall the reason we post here (other than self amusement).

*L* Susan..i can’t read/type as fast as you!

Glad you got them back.

I just had to read your link LDG–

Now Russia and the US are going to aruge who gets to keep Bout!

(really, really departing)

@Marie

“…instead of Susan by mistake.”

not a problem.

Patty–

I just fixed it– I did it manually– I wish I had seen your post- it would have been easier- I dragged the missing ones up to the tool bar- after I spend from my last post to now trying to figure it out- Now I am really departing- the email thing was freaking me out- LOL

LDG– YES- I presume she was thanking you for informing her of recent events, and generally being educated about life in present-day Venezuela.

AND THANKS for adding on to my headline–

Now (really departing)

xxxx

“Sting” to get him was run by the DEA. connecting dots here (as Susan would say)

Sorry, my other remark was directed to you instead of Susan by mistake.

regarding Susan’s post above (10:54 a.m.) about:

“Viktor Bout Allegedly Arrested in Bangkok Thailand”

The story is now out so I can comment. The specific charges of the arrest are FARC related, and the “Sting” to get him was run by the DEA.

http://www.douglasfarah.com/article/320/viktor-bout-arrested-in-thailand-in-a-perfect-storm.com

ooops susan
i mean outlook express!

Avi…that is sad, that the blasts are no longer a “bother”. Shows how easy it is to be desensitized. No one should have to live like that
It would scare the bejeesers out of me!!

John…as always, your witt starts my day with a smile and a giggle!

Susan…if you use internet explorer….right click where the buttons disappeared from…should have a option to turn them back on.

“morning everyone

edit: should have been : “…being educated…”

@Marie

“LDG: What education?”

I presume she was thanking you for informing her of recent events, and generally being education about life in present-day Venezuela.

LDG: What education?

Retread: I too think it would not be the best. This is a problem that needs to be solved by Venezuelans and believe me they are trying. Their idiosyncracy is getting in the way, but I still think that in one way or another they will do it, or else the momentum of events themselves will do it for them.

Marie

While I am sure many would like to see the Marines involved (myself included) I honestly believe that solution would only add to the problems being faced by the people of Venezuala. My beloved Corps is great for breaking things but we are not to apt at putting it back together, also the Libs in the US would have heart attacks and die on the spot…what a minute maybe sending the Corps in has more merits than I originally thought.

KT-

THANKS! Will try that-

LDG– Sleep well when you go to bed–

Marie- thanks for the education–

have a good day all- as LDG says (departs)

- start
- programs
- accessories
-system tools
-system restore

I don’t know if this will fix it. keep in mind that if you do this, you may lose any downloads that you’ve done during the period. You won;t lose your documents though.

Marie – yep. Connie Mack…..

I have to leave – will be out a few hours……

Looks like i will have a lot of reading when i get back.

Thanks again for all the info.

Have fun, all

Connie Mack has been after this for some time.

Rep. Dan Burton doesn’t like Chavez– yes to that-

@Marie and Karen2

Thank you!

KT–

How do I restore it back?

LDG – here’s the press release —–

http://mack.house.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.View&ContentRecord_id=546

LDG – my mistake – not a Senator —- Representative Connie Mack from Florida.

link: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/americas/story/445512.html

Speaking of Argentina- Miami Herald

Argentine killing suspect has been living in Miami
Former Argentina naval Lt. Roberto Guillermo Bravo, now a businessman who has deals with the U.S. Air Force, is accused of shooting political prisoners in 1972.
___________________________________________________________________-

that is so funny- showing up with suitcases to protest– good statement–

Karen 2. Which senator? Connie Mack?

Or try going to options and see if there’s a selection to put it back… you have tell me what program you’re using

@Marie

“People were going to arrive with suitcases to protest Kirchner’s visit.”

That would be worth having a picture of.

@Karen2

“…wants Venezuela labeled as a State Sponsor of Terror. ”

nasty, but entirely appropriate at this juncture. Let’s see if there is a text version of the statement. ((goes and looks))

Susan… I don’t know what program you’re using. Try restoring your computer back to yesterday or right before that happened.

How do I restore my toolbox on my email? My delete and send buttons are gone-

Chavez and Correa appear to be deflecting…… too much information in ‘Reyes computer / documents found that indicate they were supporting FARC.

US Senator on Fox this morning wants Venezuela labeled as a State Sponsor of Terror.

Chavez makes noise and it diverts his citizens attention away from him.
