Sheiks Saud el-Shibly, left, Sadi al-Khinani dine with U.S. Army soldiers at Camp Victory, near Abu Ghraib, Iraq, Thursday, June 17, 2004. Lt. Col. Tim Ryan commander of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment from Fort Hood, Texas, not in picture, believes that his job is to listen to tribal sheiks. He offered a clean slate. If the sheiks took responsibility for security, Ryan told them, he promised that his soldiers would not raid their homes. Further, he said, if the sheiks promised that members oftheir tribes sought by U.S. forces would stop carrying out attacks, the troops would stop hunting them. The sheiks agreed, and the deal has become known as ``The White Page Truce.'' ``This is the best move the Americans have made yet,'' said Sheik Sadial-Khinani, a senior tribal leader. ``The people will see that the Americans have come here to help them, not what others have said, which is that the Americans have come here to abuse them.''

The hull of the M2 is constructed of welded aluminium and spaced laminate armour. In addition, the M2A2/M3A2 Bradleys have applique steel armour with provision for additional passive armour or explosive reactive armour (ERA). General Dynamics Armament and Technical products has developed an enhanced-capability reactive armour package for the Bradley. 605 sets have been ordered, to be delivered by 2005. Rafael Armament Development Authority, Ordnance Systems, of Haifa, Israel, is sharing 50% of the production. The ERA enhances protection against a variety of anti-armour munitions including shoulder-launched rocket propelled grenades (RPGs). Source (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bradley/)

**FILE** SpaceShipOne sits on the ramp on its landing gear at Mojave, Calif., airport in this recent but undated file photo. On Monday, June 21, 2004, SpaceShipOne is scheduled to be carried aloft to be released and try to climb 62-miles high, leaving Earth's atmosphere for a few minutes to become the first privately funded, non-governmental manned spacecraft.


It's interesting, "try to climb 62-miles high" - great! Let's look at it tomorrow.

I so happy to hear that.


Just so everyone doesnt get thier panties in a twist about Bradley's not being able to protect the troops inside, thats not true. The upgraded armor that you see here is actually a old modification that was designed for M2A2/M3A3ODS Bradley's quite some time ago. It is just being fielded in larger numbers now that we are at war.
