You gotta love Ted Turner sometimes:

It will go down in history, it is already being seen in history, as one of the dumbest moves that was ever made by anybody. A couple of others that come to mind were the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the German invasion of Russia

Well at least he should know what he is talking about concerning the Iran nuclear threat - though some of his statements seem counter to what he has been working towards.

Pull your heads out of your asses, people!

"Despite being widely reported in the media that the U.S. and other countries have not found any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, surprisingly; more U.S. adults (50%) think that Iraq had such weapons when the U.S. invaded Iraq. This is an increase from 36 percent in February 2005."

I would like to see the numbers on the existence of the tooth fairy and easter bunny. Who are these fucking idiots? On a more positive note, a FOX News Poll (of all places) finds that voters strongly favor Democrats on key issues such as the economy and gas prices, and give the minority party a double-digit lead for control of Congress this fall.

It is a 900x700m area possibly designed to help helicopter pilots learn the terrain should they be called into action in the area. I wonder if they have some more models like this?
