I Want This Poster….
This pretty much sums it up for me 
Things Are Tough All Over
Just when you thought employment was bad here, along comes this piece of news to put things in perspective:
Five young American Muslims arrested in Pakistan met with representatives of an Al Qaeda-linked group and asked for training but were turned down because they lacked references from trusted militants, a Pakistani law enforcement official said Thursday.
Now you need references to blow up innocent people?? (more…)
Where’s the media re: Iraq ?
From The Jawa Report:
iCasualties.org reports 11 Coalition fatalities in Iraq in November. There were 12 soldiers, 1 civilian worker and 1 unborn child killed by Major Nidal Hasan at Ft Hood on November 5th.
Oh, that’s why we never hear about Iraq anymore.
Astonishing Aerial Photographs from WWII
peiper over at Barking Moonbat EWS found some absolutely kickass aerial photos from WWII.
I grabbed this one because I’m a big fan of the movie A Bridge Too Far. As well as a fan of the huge iron balls it took to attempt Operation Market Garden.
Dotted around the fields of Holland, these gliders clustered together formed just a small part of Operation Market Garden in September 1944 – the largest airborne operation ever carried out

I’m going to make you go over to Barking Moonbat EWS to see the rest of these.
What would you do ?
I was having a conversation with a buddy from overseas about artificial intelligence (AI, computers) controlling front-line military units (tanks specifically). He asked how do you tell the good guys from the bad guys. I stated that computers are already pretty damned good at identifying targets, but added that the surest way to ID an enemy is whether or not it is shooting at you.
His response was, “so you don’t shoot. You wait for the tank to approach and put a ‘briefcase’ under it”. Well, that introduces a question. I know how close I’d let the briefcase get.
How close do you let the briefcase get ?
