After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Krztalizer
confessed the following: I find it difficult to consider the Patriot Act or invading Iraq and tagging on hundreds of Billions of dollars to the national debt "minimal government intervention". SHACK! I joined the ACLU because of the Patriot Act. I didn't become a Democrat today - it happened slowly, over time, watching Bush41's background guys get away with murder, then waste millions of dollars trying to impeach a guy for lying about a blowjob, but the last straw was Cheney refusing to let the GAO know what went on during the Texas oil lobby's meetings with him while he formulated our nations energy policy. I would support a three legged dog like Clinton before I would agree to let Cheney have four more years to shape our future energy policy. And how long was "the great uniter" in office before he gutted the EPA, and began full scale efforts to roll back Roe v Wade, knowing it is the single most devisive issue in modern US history? That's not the actions of a uniter. Uh...what he said. Sufficient to govern? Ok, but when you know 49% of the voters disagree with your policies, how compassionate or unifying is it to basically **** on everyone that didn't vote for him? Such a meager victory should have taught him humility - instead, he took it as a God-given right to jam his agenda, and his war against Saddam, down everyone's neck. He told Congress that he didn't feel military action was inevitable in Iraq, even as he planned the invasion he knew he was going to order, in the face of widespread national disunity on the issue. Now, here we are. Uh...what he said. No sir. Its not just in Muslim countries, either. All over the world, people do not look at us the same as prior to our invasion of an oil state. At a time when Al Qaida was an active, determined threat, he diverted resources to go after his sworn family enemy, Saddam, placing him higher in priority than wiping out the organization that caused 9-11; General Franks said in an interview that units were stripped away from the hunt for Bin Laden in the spool up for the Iraq invasion - as long as he is out there, he remains Threat #1. I think it was a strategic goof to back-burner Bin Laden and spend inconcievable amounts of money going after a country that had NOT attacked us. NK is a far greater threat than Saddam ever was; that will probably be our next war. ****ing A Bubba! Okay so you get the picture. Damn Gordon, I never realized you were so wise. [8-) Robey |

Most fighter jocks I know love single seaters, and I don't know any of them that preferred to fly a side-by-side ship, if there was anything else available. Most generalizations don't stand up. OK, name five fighter pilots that you "know" who wouldn't fly any airplane that was full of free gas. |

OK, name five fighter pilots that you "know" who wouldn't fly any airplane that was full of free gas. The one that comes to mind first is Diz Laird, who thought once you had a "friend" in the cockpit, it was no longer a "fighter". I've sat at tables with fighter aces at their reunions in San Diego, Mesa, San Antonio and other places and Diz' comments were in line with what the guys were saying. That said, almost anyone with a history of flying would fly in a motorized ****can, if that was the only thing available. I can't imagine why Bush would go through training and then walk away from a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly the Deuce, or any other jet fighter.

![]() Most generalizations don't stand up. OK, name five fighter pilots that you "know" who wouldn't fly any airplane that was full of free gas. I mentioned Diz - the other name that pops up right off the bat is Robin Olds, who used to tell his backseater to "shut up and hold on". Besides, I didn't say the guys wouldn't ride in a two-seater, I said I don't know any of them that preferred to fly a side-by-side ship, if there was anything else available. Did you miss that part of my comment, Bob? Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine. |

When he left my wife asked "who was that asshole?" and I said "he's a fighter pilot, need I say more?"

Did you miss that part of my comment, Bob? Well, I was thinking: here's an F-102, and here's a T-33... Hmm, decisions, decisions... |

I can't imagine why Bush would go through training and then walk away from a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly the Deuce, or any other jet fighter. Believe me! It happens all the time. In the late 90's F-15 and F-16 pilots were jumping out in record numbers because of all the bull**** orbits in Iraq. When the training is not realistic, the fun goes out of flying pretty fast. There's just a ****load of additional duties that pilots have to perform, and some peckerhead is always coming-up with a new ground training requirement that must be bean-counted to ****ing death. Charts and slides, briefings to people who can't wipe their own ass. It all adds up to the fact that flying is 5% of the job description, and 95% is non-mission-related. I tell you what... Spend 90 days overseas wearing diapers and ****ting all over yourself, and ****ing all over yourself while sitting on a seat kit for 14 hours waiting for some raghead to fire a round at you. Please! Let me get rid of this ****ing ordinance so I can empty my ****ing diapers. There's only a very special breed that will do that, and they usually will take it because they want to be a General one day, and of course fix everything :-) |
