Yeah, I'm sure that'll make for a great live-fire exercise for the United States Navy.

I don't know why you are so cocky, the Navy is trained to not fire untill fired upon. Do you think nothing bad can happen when we have to let them get the first couple shots off? Just because we can win the battle doesn't mean they can't take a few lives before we start fighting back.

and furthermore what are we doing blocking Venezuela, thats where I get all my coke!

Just like the Spanish-American war, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, Iraq 1.0, Iraq 2.0, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Oh, wait... -b0b (...snickers.)

Venezuela wants the submarines in order to overcome a possible US naval blockade, the paper said.

Oooo One sub...isn't of Das Boot it's El Bote.

Unless they are severely lucky with their first shot and that actually hit the ship and not only that but wound it so bad that it's in bad shape. Our ships and technology aren't like WWII anymore. Not only does it take a lot of pounding to do enough damage to a ship, anything larger than an PT boat, but that sonar tech is far more advanced today.

If you throw WWII in there it's funny to think that all these wars started under false pretenses and that the US got involved in them through killing of their own people or outright lies.

The ship doesn't have to sink for casualties.

Yes but there are two problems with your argument. The first was that a boat full of explosives is much much different than a torpedo. Second of all the USS Cole still made it home with a huge hole in its side. Therefore, I still say that while a torpedo can kill a bunch of people the ship will still be safe and able to attack back.

Alstom to develop CO2 capture plant

42 minutes ago

PARIS - French engineering company Alstom said Friday it won a development contract with Germany power and gas provider E.on AG to develop a carbon dioxide emissions capture plant in southern Sweden.

"Because CO2 is recognized as the main greenhouse gas contributing to global warming, development of this technology is an important milestone towards reducing power industry carbon emissions," Alstom said in a statement.

The plant, to capture emissions from a power plant at Karlshamn, in the south of Sweden, will use Alstom's chilled ammonia-based technology and is expected to begin operation in 2008. The companies plan to introduce the technology into other Swedish power plants after technical evaluation.

Alstom's chilled ammonia technology uses ammonia to capture CO2 emissions that would normally escape into the atmosphere.

Umm God beat you to this Frenchy about 10,000 years ago. This is just one of the many reasons why I don't buy global warming. Oh no we're making a carbon footprint! Duhh we're breathing! And more importantly the stuff we breath out, aka carbon!, helps keep plants alive. Ya know the hippies were all about me saving the rain forests and not logging so much...so I did my part to keep the plants alive by remaining alive for all this time...

I just fear that this global warming will set up two things for the NWO plan. The first being to generate a global carbon tax. The second being what better way to stop people from expelling so much CO2 then to finally get their plan to decrease the population of Earth under 500 million!

Briney: Guys! The house is on fire!!!
Us: Are you sure?!
Briney: What do you mean am I sure?! Of course I'm sure!
Us: Ya? Just like you were sure you'd finish BFE after we spent 6 hours of our lives watching that horrible movie?
Briney: ....well maybe the house isn't on fire....
Us: Ya...we thought so

*We burn to death* Why? All because Briney couldn't finish BFE!!!

Good job Briney!!! Smiley
