Four Charges Filed Against Driver in Bus Fire That Killed 23
Many posters seem to differ, especially those with kids using busses the school provides. Good. The outside of the bus says nothing about the quality, as explained by several posters. Don't be so ridiculous. -

New opposition leader takes the helm after party collapse
The opposition party leader is photogenic. He is young and vibrant. Quite a contrast to the old chunky pasty faced zombie like cabal members. -

New opposition leader takes the helm after party collapse
No, not lawfare. The cabal has had this strategy long before the trendy term of lawfare was created. -

No Jim, they knew the pilot was dead. But Delta Force and the Rangers have a policy that even the dead bodies are not to be left behind. That is why Garrison ordered his men, once they had reached those to be evacuated to retrieve the dead pilot. They had to use vehicles to pull the wreckage of the helicopter apart to get to the pilot. It took a long time. He was already dead. They knew that. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
2 people is not a solution. Yes, some Thais speak English. They can also speak French, Manadarin, and German. The point of my comment was to refute your statement; On 10/2/2024 at 5:05 AM, theblether said: I've continuously pointed out to the NHS that there is a large well of nurses and doctors available in Thailand. It's not one of their preferred hiring locations and that's a mistake. What is wrong with my reading comprehension as you claim Did you not write the above? It is you who is a self proclaimed expert with that ignorant statement. You ignored the fact that Thailand has a shortage of health professionals. There is NOT a large well of qualified nurses and doctors in Thailand. What part of Thailand of the patient doctor ratio in Thailand of 0.67:1000 do you not understand? What part of the reality that the Thai health professionals most likely to be functionally literate in English are those who have completed some studies in an English language nation? These are typically specialists. Nurses and GPs are the least likely to have completed english language medical training. The crisis is in the UK is in the number of available GPs and the number of available operating theaters and hospital beds. The available facilities have been reduced to save money. Having 1000 more nurses won't reopen a surgery. Funding for their salaries and the equipment will. You also ignored the fact that it is irresponsible and UNETHICAL, and contravenes established foreign relation undertakings for a wealthier nation undertake "brain drain". -

No, let's continue with it. You make it sound like it was about sheer numbers. However, US soldiers tell a different story: "A U.S. participant in the firefight would later remark, "They used concealment very well. Usually all you saw of a shooter was the barrel of his weapon and his head." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)#:~:text=After the battle%2C dead American,the U.N. mission in 1995. What really caused the problem for the US infantry, and led to the Rangers and Delta Force elite soldiers being picked off, was the shooting down of the helicopters. The Somalis shot them down with fairly rudimentary weapons. Then they shot dead Delta Force soldiers from a distance. In contrast the US military actions were a litany of errors. Armoured vehicles supposed to protect soldiers sped off, unwittingly leaving soldiers exposed to fire and having to walk through a sniper hell. Relief convoys actually got lost in the city, turned around twice without reaching their target. The only reason the Americans got out was because Aidid thought he had inflicted sufficient losses on the Americans and was concerned about retaliation if all the remaining soldiers were killed, so he opened a corridor to allow the Americans to escape. The mistakes went to the very top: "Clinton expressed surprise that the battle had even occurred[115] and later claimed that he had decided on a diplomatic solution before the incident. Despite his apparent reservations, there had been no direct orders previously given to Task Force Ranger to halt operations against the SNA. The stand down order given to U.S. forces in Somalia led other UNOSOM II contingents to effectively avoid any confrontation with the SNA. This led to the majority of UNOSOM patrols in Mogadishu to cease and numerous checkpoints in SNA controlled territory to be abandoned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)#:~:text=After the battle%2C dead American,the U.N. mission in 1995. So just before launching a major operation the Americans had given an order that led to checkpoints being abandoned. In contrast the Somali leadership had stuck to a plan and executed it: "The SNA leadership had the express goal of expelling U.S. forces from Somalia following the Abdi House Raid, and knew that the Americans would not be able to tolerate casualties, especially in a conflict they had no real stake. They believed that inflicting any notable casualties on the Americans would cause Congress and the public to turn against participation in UNOSOM II and withdraw from Somalia.[120][81][119] The SNA's objective was not to achieve a tactical military victory against the Americans and UNOSOM, but to sap their will to continue fighting and force a complete disengagement from Somalia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)#:~:text=After the battle%2C dead American,the U.N. mission in 1995. So they had a strategic plan and executed it. Of course you can speculate about what may, could, possibly, would have most likely happend, but in the end that's just speculation. We need to go on what the facts actually were. And it would appear to be the case that the US forces were outhought and outperformed, from the very highest to the very lowest level, in Somalia. This despite a massive technological gap in the US' favour. So before we Westerners pat ourselves on the back and say how superior we are, we should look at what actually happened when we were fighting supposed inferior cultures. And it's quite surprising what happened. -

I think the no man left behind strategy was due to the possibility of being subjected to torture interrogation if captured alive. They make it sound like a moral compass decision in the movie, but I don't think that was the true motivation. You don't know if personnel are alive or not if you don't do a retrieval. -

Incredible US banking ineptness
As you can see.... I gave an explanation of why it's relevant if you have a Citibank account.... .... and you have never (in this topic) stated if you have a Citibank account. -
