Just Built my own, $93K:eek: :( and that is just paint and bucket seats and cool stitching.

It's one of the last of the naturally aspirated engined cars from Porsche. So this is a car you keep forever, $90K for 40+ years of enjoyment is not really that bad.

COEXIST.

You might be right Buzz. Btw, I'm about half way thru "Dereliction of Duty." Well written book but am I supposed to be THIS ****ed off?? ;)

There is a solution: Thorium nuclear power, and erecting a giant middle finger pointing east. Make their oil worthless, leave that hell hole, and let them fight over a few magic rocks from a glorified pedophile.

They asked us to move our Narita operation to Seoul, we said no thanks we can do that stuff from Seattle. They go sign a deal with AA.

I really think the best bet in Asia is not with a Japanese or Korean carrier, but with a Chinese carrier. The domestic Chinese market could make the domestic U.S. market look small.

Exactly. The only way we defeat them is to leave that part of the country.

Prior to WWII they got all their revenue from selling junk and food during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. They were very poor. The oil in the Mideast has been called the greatest treasure mankind has ever found. If we transitioned on a massive scale to Thorium nuclear power or compact fusion they could go back to running carnivals during Mecca and we could leave them alone.

Problem is, they know this and are in the process of transitioning their economies to be supported by massive state funded airlines. They have the resources to fuel those airlines for a very long time and for a very small amount of money compared to the rest of the worlds global airlines. If we won't buy their oil, they will just grow their airlines to burn the oil and fund their economies that way. That is why they don't care if they have 200 fuel guzzling A-380's.

The young prince was a man of action on the athletic field and the training ground. In 1980, he enrolled in the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst (UK) and was commissioned as second lieutenant in 1981. He served in the British Army in the 13/18th Royal Hussars Regiment, with duties as a reconnaissance troop leader in the United Kingdom and Germany.
In 1985, then-Prince Abdullah returned to Jordan to serve in the armed forces (Armoured Corps, 3rd Division). Rising through the ranks to lieutenant-colonel, he attended advanced military courses in both Jordan and the UK. Among other duties, he served on attachment to the Special Forces and qualified as a Cobra attack helicopter pilot. After service as commander of the 2nd Armoured Battalion, 40th Armoured Brigade, he was named deputy commander, Jordanian Special Forces, in January 1993.
In November 1993, Prince Abdullah became commander of Jordan's Special Forces. In 1996, he was given the task of reorganising the Special Forces and other elite units into the new Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In 1998, as SOCOM commander, he was promoted to the rank of major general."


This may actually be fun to sit back and watch......

Kick their ass Seabass!

The Chinese market is potentially huge. I know they have pilot shortage issues, but IMO, their biggest problem is terminal ATC. They can't launch or recover jets fast enough. They've got to get that squared away...soon.

I'd make a wager, money going to the DPCF, that Barry Osama has already 'convinced' the King that retaliation isn't the path to take against these camel ***kers! :mad: Surely anyone who calls themselves Islamic State of Iraq & al-Sham, "isn't Islam." :rolleyes:

You are giving Barry far too much credit. International leaders see him for the joke that he is.......
