Hope you were not listening to Howard Sterns (Not sure about the spelling of the last name, but think you know whom I'm referring too!) or were you? I hope that we have something like that! Let me know if you find a link for more info!

It is a two...

I only imagine some of the high tech abilities we have. I've always been rather confident of those abilities. What you describe, our special forces teams are going to wreak havoc on them in small night raids...especially after they're shell shocked from being carpet bombed all day long. I almost feel sorry for those hairy faced cavemen...

I remember watching a special on TV that had our first SR71 pilot on. Most important thing I remember him saying was: "I can gauarantee you that as far ahead of technology that the SR71 was for the 1950's, we are that far ahead of todays technology now."

I thought the airline tickets would go through the roof. That's the only thing they can do. They're about to go bankrupt... sad... Am glad I have the time and would rather drive myself.

Re: the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW).

This has been under way for while. I notice HK ( Heckler & Koch, I've always liked their products ) is in the mix, and a company called Alliant Techsystems ( NYSE:ATK ). ATK had a runup, a downgrade, and a pullback recently. National and world users typically want multiple manufacturers and prefer to have one in their own country for obvious reasons.

This is a pricey heater, around $10-12K each.
