My brother in law is a Long Beach fireman.
His current shifts consist of 2 24 hour days per week.
He has ample time to have a second career and a pension well beyond 99% of private sector jobs.
My tear cup is empty when they must occasionally sacrifice themselves. It is an awesome paying job with stupid benefits and frankly they are over glorified.

Osama Bin Laden is a Sunni Muslim who comes from Saudi Arabia and went to live in a cave in Afghanistan. Hisb'allah is a Shia organisation based in Lebanon funded by Iran.loubot wrote:

It's Bush's fault.
Hamas is massively more independent than Hisb'allah and has accepted help from all manner of benefactors over the years, including Sunni Saddam. I don't think anyone needed a proven example of terrorism in action to demonstrate that it worked. The Libyans had been supplying arms to the IRA for years and seen the effects thereof. To regard this attack as some kind of epiphany for Osama is naive imo.God Save the Queen wrote:

Hamas is a sunni organization too, funded and guided by iran.
to not realize that this was the first time a terrorist activity sent the mighty United States home packing is post rational.CameronPoe wrote:

How do Iran communicate effectively with Hamas? How do they arm them? I've been to Israel and I can tell you they have their border locked down tighter than a duck's ass under water.God Save the Queen wrote:

Mark my words Cam, Iran will run hamas just as they have guided hezbollah. Its a all a very complicated strategy on Irans part. Ive read several books on the subject.

Study the rise of Hezbollah in lebanon. Look at the Dawa party or SCIRI in iraq. Hamas is following the same path. Its not religion that guides those that make policy, only those that execute it.CameronPoe wrote:

You should read "Never quit the fight" by Ralph Peters. You would enjoy it. It's not his most recent.. but probably his best book.usmarine wrote:
