Naval Hook Up


MwAh!

Britannia Rules the Waves! And the French hang too! Both NATO cats are preparing to reveal unprecedented plans to share the use of their aircraft carriers in a controversial step to maintain military power in an era of cost-cutting.

"...In a potential threat to thousands of shipyard jobs, the move would make it easier for Britain to scrap or downgrade one of the two replacement carriers which are already under construction at a cost of £5.2billion.

"...David Cameron and President Sarkozy are expected to outline the proposal in a November summit, which will lead to British and French flagships working together and protecting the interests of both countries.

Did you notice?..............from Rico

Did you notice there were NO Bank closings last Friday?
- FDIC gave their employees Friday OFF to rest, for the balance of the year will be quite busy.

Of COURSE it is a coincidence that Benyamin Bernanke was hosting the FED's Jackson Hole symposium for his fellow Central Bankers and Economists.

It wouldn't do, or be PC, to humiliate the man on that day, would it now?

Weapons Training

Have you tried using a laser bullet for dry fire training?  I just got one and tried it out.  It's amazing that with no trip to the range, no ammunition, no noise, I can reacquire lightning fast point shooting skills


I can practice force on force shooting, and lots of different techniques; like how to respond to an intruder, what to do when there is a terror attack, and lots other scenarios.






The Laser-Ammo SureStrike allows any level of weapon user to practice totally safe marksmanship and handling drills with an actual weapon in any location, from the basement to the barracks. By pulling the trigger, the direct impact of the firing pin activates the SureStrike to emit a microprocessor controlled eye-safe laser pulse, a “shot” of red light, which simulates the point of impact where a bullet fired from the weapon would have struck. 

It works in Pistols and Shotguns too.

September is historically the worst-performing month for stocks. Hindenberg Omen or not, it's a tough month for investers and traders.

This year we have the full-on Obamanation Factor to contend with as well.

President Barack Obama Claims Credit on Iraq War

For all of the socialism and Islamist-appeasement of this administration, the one thing that has bothered me the most about this president (and candidate in 2007-08) is his screechingly perverse antiwar ideology and opportunism. Barack Obama was the most antiwar Senator in Congress throughout 2007 and in 2008 he tried to play both sides of the fence: After opposing the surge he then turned around and hailed its success, while insisting once more that the war was wrong. As noted in his New York Times op-ed in July 14, 2008, "My Plan for Iraq":

In the 18 months since President Bush announced the surge, our troops have performed heroically in bringing down the level of violence. New tactics have protected the Iraqi population, and the Sunni tribes have rejected Al Qaeda — greatly weakening its effectiveness.

But the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true. The strain on our military has grown, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated and we’ve spent nearly $200 billion more in Iraq than we had budgeted. Iraq’s leaders have failed to invest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues in rebuilding their own country, and they have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.
I do not hate this president. But he brings deep shame to the role of Commander-in-Chief. And that shame is seen one more time with this weekend's White House announcement on the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq. IMHO, Obama just lies when he claims to be upholding the "sacred trust" of our fighting men and women. It takes more than winning an election to win that trust -- you have to earn it. That said, folks may have different emotions than I do. But I think we can agree that getting the Democrats out of power in 2010 and 2012 will begin the process of restoring American power in the world. I cringe at the thought of this sick ACORN-sleazeball presidential interloper directing the force and capabilities of the U.S. abroad. But time heals all wounds, and the electorate is rumbling:
