are Ajars muslim?

- what about fuel from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and co. or Iraq itself, instead of pumping it to the Black Sea and then shipping it via the Bosphorus (I assume). Efficient Market Hypothesis gone AWOL

....before I forget, these arnt POWs but people detained after the 'liberation' of Iraq. And I just heard an admission on TV by US officials that 70% are wrongfully detained - and thats their numbers: apparently they just randomly pluck men (and women!) off the streets and administer this sort of punishment. And even if they were POWs they are meant to be under the protection of the Geneva convention: or maybe thats just Bush talking sh!t (again).

....there are more photographs of the same man lying on the ground with a large gash in his leg in a pool of blood: I think thats a little worse then 'parading in woman's underwear'. The British Army has allready addmitted to 30 civilian DEATHS in their custody, presumably from fatigue after being endlessly paraded in women's underwear! oh there is discipline allright: these reservists are doing exactly what they are told!

First Evidence of Torture

Hey Sip, you like to make fun of the French, but have you seen the latest US flag circulating around the world? http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2004/05/10/main_torture.jpg ...and there is apparently worse to come. Now if you happened to be the son of that humiliated man, would you not take a gun and kill every American in sight?

Thank you for pointing that out Gams, and Britain involved in the war from 1939, in Africa, Far East as well as Europe lost a similar number. The Red Army, despite all odds and disasters of 41 and 42 won the war. The unbroken will of the Red Army astonished the world after numerous fatal seeming blows. Three of my great-grandfather fought in the war, the other was in Iran at the time. One was wounded and sent home, one fought all the way to Berlin (and bought back a Zinger sewing machine as a trophy - last I heard it still worked) and the other was commisar (2nd in command) of an army division originally posted in the north around besieged Leningrad and then under Bagramyan on the Baltic Front.

.... Sevan Tsakhkadzor Alaverdi Sanain+Haghpat (+ Mikoyans museum also around there) Jermuk Garni+Geghard and most important of all make sure your photo camera doesnt get crushed in the luggage <_<

girlfriends for all!, I say

Sip, how easy is it to create such a damaging virus/bug? Would you be able to do it - say in a weeks time? - just wondering

Kill Bill vol2 Pros: better than vol1, Uma in yellow tracksuite , Bill's an Aussie yobbo . Cons: Still crap and 'uncool' compared to Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Verdict: Tarantino needs to get off the cocaine. I cant believe this film was 4 years in the making, its pretty ordinary 6.5/10

Tertiary education was free here untill about 20 years ago. The average fees for local full-time students are about US$4000 annual and if you havnt got the money, then you can defer paying it untill you get a job (you do get a 25% discount if you pay up-front). The borrowed amount is adjusted for inflation. International students though have to pay about US$12000 a year (they subsidise us ), which is considerable, but nowhere near 30K!

US$31000 a year!? thats is rediculous How are you meant to afford it without help from parents?

AK's rule! but here is what I would get if I lived in the States: http://world.guns.ru/assault/hk_g36.jpg or the carbine version: http://world.guns.ru/assault/hk_g36c.jpg Its the HK36. The first one is the standard issue rifle for the German Army and the commando version was used in Matrix Reloaded: remmember one of the albino twins firing from the sunroof - this was the gun. And this is apparently the next generation US standard issue Army rifle. And its a derivative of the HK36 and is being developed by the same company.

I only go for the Gunners coz they got a cool name and insignia

Sorry, couldnt resist the temptation: http://www.totalwar.com/community/images/nro3.jpg http://www.totalwar.com/community/images/br1.jpg http://www.totalwar.com/community/images/br10.jpg

released 3rd quarter 2004. I think its turn-based Risk style overall strategy, but the battles are real-time: check out the screenshots here. More importantly, Armenia is one of 20 factions!

This is the poor girl Sip the monster stole the body from : http://www.moi-alizee.com/uk/images/z4.jpg

Sip, do I sense an admission that these wars are indeed mainly waged because of oil-interests?

erm...wouldnt someone else be getting the 3.6 mill, or something in that vicinity?

I dont know man . But whats really interesting to me is if the real Sip has bigger pecks than Alizee...

I just realised that body belongs to a hot Frenchie called Alizee. I saw a video of her on a live concert - she is HOT!

yes gurgen, sounds cool - but the game Im looking forward to play most of all is Rome:Total War, with the Armenians!

http://shakenblake1.homestead.com/files/fatty_dance2.gif ahahaha - look at those pecks!
