Vice President Dick Cheney talks about invasion of Iraq in 1994. He`s pretty confident too!!!! (I saw this in infowars.com)

Here is the transcript:

Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad?

A: No.

Q: Why not?

A:
Because if we`d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There
wouldn`t have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S.
occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight
with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq.

Once
you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein`s
government, then what are you going to put in its place? That`s a very
volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government
of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off:
part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it —
eastern Iraq — the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it
for eight years. In the north you`ve got the Kurds, and if the Kurds
spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the
territorial integrity of Turkey.

It`s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The
other thing was casualties. Everyone was impressed with the fact we
were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the
146 Americans killed in action, and for their families — it wasn`t a
cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or
not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to
get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans is Saddam
worth?

Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right.

I just received this from a colleague, and it`s really scary. If you are a Comcast customer, take action or you lose your rights! Read below, and full article here.

There is also an online opt-out page from Comcast here.

Snipplet from the article:
ROCKVILLE, Md. – If you`re the type to just write the checks and throw away the paperwork when bills come in, you may want to take another look at your July Comcast bill.

According to Jane Lawton, Montgomery County`s cable administrator, Comcast changed the terms of your subscription agreement.

Customers who do not opt out within 30 days of receiving the Comcast Arbitration Notice will relinquish their right to pursue any legal remedies against Comcast in court, including claims for negligence, fraud or intentional wrongdoing. This means you lose the right to sue Comcast, while Comcast retains the right to sue you.

I usually end up writing some stupid, sometimes pointless bash scripts. Once in a while, if i`m not in hurry, I share them on my blog. If I needed once, someone else might need it too.

This time the script is about having too many jpg files and putting them in zip files that contains only 19 pictures. (This was because of a limitation of a free picture hosting site that I will not name them here, cause they suck!)

Here we go

#!/bin/bash
#Set the initial counters.
A=1;J=0;
#loop for the file in this directory
for i in *.jpg
  
do
   
#ZIPPY is where I collect all the files
     
ZIPPY=”$ZIPPY $i”
    #HERE we count the files and use
    #modulo operation to find the 19th file
     
let “J=$J+1”
     
let “REST=$J % 19”
  
if [ “$REST” -eq 0 ]
   
then
     
# The rest is easy
       zip bolum$A.zip $ZIPPY
       ZIPPY=””
       let “A=$A+1”
   
fi
done

Hey blog readers,

I`m currently on a roadtrip with Maria. So far it`s been 5 days and we`ve been to: Blueridge parkway, (470 miles including Virginia, North Carolina) Tennessee, (including Nashville, Knoxville, and Memphis).

I will write some summary at the end of the trip with some pics. We are driving, unfortunately we`re not on the motorcycle

We are currently in Sparta, VA.

Here is a teaser
