I still call BS in your little fasinating story that it would have ended the exact same way. Sure Hitler had F'd himself. But for all those boots you casually discard they very likely would have had a workable nuke by the time Russia was able to do it all by themselves. Oh .. and since what if is part of your fantasy ... what if .. Japan had invaded russia and divided their war efforts?

Yeah ... so many possibilities .. so many randoms when you decided to arbitrarily change what has already taken place. Nice effort to be an ass though.

And somehow the NY times has some credibility?

Not with me they don't. Pretty easy to make up anything they want and publish it as fact when Neither of the Gov'ts involved will be willing to say "yup .. we did it" LOL

Someone with money bought a boat. News at 11.

I mean come on ... who the fraq cares?

Don't forget to see where a lot of Russia's war material came from. A lot of it had a Made in USA stamp on it. If it wasn't for that they may have been speaking german too. But to say that our but its biggest effect was to ensure that the Russian advance stopped after they got to Germany ... is leaving a great big ole WTF going through my head.

This is just one more way those asshats will go out of their way to insure a skewed election result. Once in a while I get a sot spot for some piece of the dems liberal agenda and then they do this sort of shit and I'm right back to saying F em.

Go Palin! Kick their asses!!

But why start there? Why not start with those worthless science programs? If we can get the soccer study nerfed then maybe we can get grants to something much more pleasing.

I watched the video. I don't see anything to get upset over. The real problem is getting enough 'real people' involved so that input from 'special interest' groups don't influence the process.

I would have to say that in general, everyone allows their personal bias to influence their positions.

I think I would rephrase you last little bit there. Fox news viewers don't want the liberal slant on news. You know, the kind where conservative and or christian values are vilified. SO they take what they can get. YMMV

That a survey designed year after year to bash Fox News isn't at all biased in design, intent, delivery, execution and conclusion.

Good job liberals .. more FUD for the fodder. Mixing cool aid is Fun !!

This has me breaking out my Visa to put money on my paypal account and make a purchase on Amazon I had not planned on. All in all this may be a boon for the companies those criminals are attacking. And it's going to be bad for the criminals at wikileaks also. As it's causing people like me to actually sympathize with the corporations under attack. Something I would normally NEVER do.

The butchers bill isn't paid in full yet. The people who run Wikileaks should have to pay in kind.

The people who release info to wikiLeaks also. Only one way to deal with rabid animals ..

"any and all exposure of even the most misguided, secretive foreign policy"

Oh yeah ... I suppose that's exactly the issue. NOT.

The issue now, as it was then. Is it's irresponsible to release the information. Leaking the Pentagon papers was bad then just as this is bad now.

This BS about information wanting to be free is a huge load of crap.

"So that means we should spend billions of dollars and not catch him? Good plan."

Nice way to troll there Taco. Worked too I see. Good job.

But Yeah, I agree. Wikileaks peoples should be hunted down and captured. What to do with them after that? Hard question. After they edited the helicopter video to try to depict the US army as shooting civilians for fun I say hang every one of them.

Point taken.
My point was the production lines have been open for a very long time. It's simple and cheap to produce. When the new system's production lines are up to speed the price per unit will fall.

There is economy of scale to play in to it also.

M-16's have been around forever. They have made lot of m-16's and it's variants and to date, the variants still roll off the production lines. Production lines that have been in place a long long time.

This new "gee wizz batman, I sure wish they had had that when I was in" $35k rifle will get cheaper as production lines and development are finalized.

Even then the system and it's components wont be cheap. In the end though, it really is a revolutionary tool for the war fighters. When the troopers get up to speed on how to actually use it I think the price wont be as big an issue as it is now. $35k for a rifle is an astonishing price. But then, this is more than a rifle and the capabilities are well worth it.

All I can say is Finally it's here !
