Hey there. I'm pretty sure this is my first login in months, and I feel like a change. The username 'Blacksheep' appears to be available. Any chance I can have it changed to that?

Much appreciated.

Just got my tag this morning! Thanks, guys.

He could get done in quite easily for his Lockerbie role. Smart move, Koussa.

I'm guessing it implies any form of military action short of boots on the ground. That's what was being stressed, according to the declaration. Also... This is craziness, madness, arrogance.

No article to share yet, but BBC News 24 is reporting that the UK and France could be ready to rock and roll as soon as tomorrow with the US approving of such action. Apparently, China and Russia might abstain from the vote rather than veto. The Danes said they've already committed four F-16s to a ...

I am not up on maritime law or any of it's intricacies, but in my personal opinion anything short of direct and vicious response is a waste of time. I'm not sure anything less severe would be taken as anything but a weakness. Especially due to our history in the region. That's the only way to deal ...

Shooting protesters has happened in more "civilized" countries than Libya. That is sort of my point... why would it be all that shocking? Asshats are asshats. You should find it shocking simply because of how repulsive and awful it is. It would seem in poor taste to brush off something like this si...

You'd think someone with the money to do something like that would at least read/watch the news and know better or be more wary or prepared when they travel there. Surprisingly enough, that is almost never the case. I have a hard time pitying these people, as a result.

Awesome!

Those Highland Cattle can pretty aggressive. Very cool, though. I loved my time in Scotland, though it wasn't nearly long enough. Did you get a chance to check out any major cities?

Thirteen more military injured along with four civilians. At least sixty houses are ablaze. ROK F-16s have scrambled.
