I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

IF they decide they want to go balls-to-the wall in the Mideast, this could be a cause celebre. If, on the other hand, they want to take a more measured approach, the story will be dribbled out in bits and pieces. In either case, more info is needed. -------------- You can't build a nation with bombs. You can't create a society with guns.

Quote:First attested in the 1960s in the context of aviation. Probably coined by pilots whose throttle levers had round, ball-like tops and for whom putting the "balls to the wall" (the firewall of the aircraft) meant making the aircraft fly as quickly as possible.
Quote:As for skill levels, it is easy to fly North, South, East or West and drop bombs. I have yet to be impressed by what they are doing except to say it is apparent they do not have the logistics experience to resupply themselves in the middle east. Which is why one in three planes is grounded at any given time.

Quote:Originally posted by JAYNEZTOWN: Prominent Russian millionaire Mikhail Lesin, a former aide of Russian President Vladimir Putin and founder of Russian TV network Russia Today, was found dead at a Washington hotel on Friday (6 November). While police authorities in Washington have not yet revealed the cause of death, Russian media quoting his family, said he may have suffered a heart attack. Lesin's body was found in a room at the Dupont Circle hotel in Washington DC and officials in the US notified the Russian Embassy of Lesin's death. Authorities from both countries are trying to determine the circumstances of his death, reported Washington Post. As of now it is not clear what Lesin was doing at Washington. Du Pont Hotel? Du Pont Heir was given Probation for Raping daughter in Hush-Hush Case; Judge Said he wouldn’t fare well in Prison. Du Pont Family heir (and son of a very powerful retired attorney) Robert H. Richards IV received a slap on the wrist in 2008 after he pleaded guilty to raping his three-year old daughter: Eight years probation.Jurden also ordered Richards to "participate in a sex offenders" treatment program after his lawyer provided her with an evaluation from a clinic in Massachusetts. Her order stipulated that he undergo inpatient treatment followed by outpatient treatment. The judge also ordered him to have no contact with children under 16 and prohibited him from possessing pornography. Richards is a great-grandson of the chemical magnate Irenee du Pont. DuPont bloodline? The Morgan financial octopus wrapped its tentacles quickly around the globe. Morgan Grenfell operated in London. Morgan et Ce ruled Paris. The Rothschild’s Lambert cousins set up Drexel & Company in Philadelphia. The House of Morgan catered to the Astors, DuPonts, Guggenheims, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. It financed the launch of AT&T, General Motors, General Electric and DuPont. Like the London-based Rothschild and Barings banks, Morgan became part of the power structure in many countries. The Rothschild aesthetic and life-style later influenced other rich and powerful families, including the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Rockefellers, and became hallmarks of the American Gilded Age. Aspects of le goût Rothschild continued into the twentieth century, affecting such designers as Yves Saint Laurent and Robert Denning. Du Pont, Family?
