Jeez, if your going to post women showing thier goods, at least post good looking ones and not over the hill broads with cancer sticks in thier hands......Why is it that nearly EVERY single half-way decent looking girl in Europe I run into smokes those god awful things??? Jeez, dont they know thier teeth might be a little whiter, thier breath a little better, thier skin a little healthier, and thier endurance in the sack a little better (not ot mention the taste of kissing them), if they just drank water??? ARGH!!! Nothing in this world worse than a hot girl who smokes........Why?. Because you know in less than 10 years she is going to look like a refugee.....Not to mention having to stand next to European women in the subway.....Even when they arnt smoking, they give off this horridly nauseating stench of body oder and ciggies........

Calling all European men: Teach your women not to smoke.....its a nasty habbit......PLEASE....If not for yourselves, then for us Yanks who have to visit on occassion!!!

An Iraqi man holds the sole of a shoe against a British flag, an insult in the Arab world, after it was found amid the debris of a car bomb explosion in the center of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad June 14, 2004. A suicide car bomber blew himself up on a busy Baghdad street on Monday as a convoy of foreigners in civilian cars drove past, partly demolishing a nearby building, police at the scene said.

those pics aren't positive from where I'm looking at them. What is your point, are you trying to start up some sort of a flame war here?
Relax Gringo. Sometimes you lose and sometimes the others do win. Nevertheless in was an amazing and exciting game, from the beginning to the very last second. I enjoyed watching it and I suppose most ppl did so. Isn't that positive?

I find it ironic that Iraqi's dance even when they are blowing EACH OTHER up. You would think that this would change their opinions about Sadaam's loyalists (or whomever). Maybe if enough of their own civilians get killed by these terrorists, they will see coalition forces in a different light.

No, they will blame the coalition for not preventing the attacks. This is a lose lose situation for westerners. That's why politicians should think twice before starting to liberate/modernize the middle east.

Washington, D.C. (Jun 14, 2004) – File photo of the Boeing 737-MMA cockpit - The Department of Defense announced today that McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company, has been awarded the contract to develop the U.S. Navy’s Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA). Built on a modified Boeing 737-800ERX, the 737-MMA will bringing together a highly reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system. This combination, coupled with next-generation sensors, will dramatically improve Anti-Submarine Warfare, or ASW, and Anti-Surface Warfare, or ASuW, capabilities. 737-MMA will ultimately replace the U.S. Navy’s aging fleet of P-3C Orion Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance aircraft.
