the internet as we know it today would be very different without the funding from the national science foundation.

Intellectual dishonesty right there ray. Understandable though considering your hatred of the military.

This is correct.

the Internet was a military project, hardly an invention

Military projects do lead to the invention of things.

Typical leftist "factoids".

Those are not US Marines, and the umbrella seems to be centered over the other guy, rather than President Bush.


Give us a break.

Does it matter if they are Army instead of Marines?

^ was the umbrella made in China? Was the factory a safe working enviroment.? Was the material eco friendly? How much carbon footprint did it take to make?

Surprised to see Sodhopper (RickThai) posting in this thread ?

Well, people who have absolutely nothing to do, like Abe as well, will post anything on any thread. Hey Abe, how do we spell farang again? Please help. Can you post that for us just 200 times more?

Ah Rainfall, you must have done really bad things in your previous lives to get to where you are today.

I sincerely hope you find peace and happiness in this life.

It appears this is a US Marine and he is violating Marine Regulations. I wonder who ordered it?

Chok Dee,

RickThai

Anyway, I'm really disgusted the Commander in Chief of the US armed forces would get some marine to hold an umbrella, I really am. Even in the rain.

I mean it's bigger than Watergate, bigger than the gaping US fiscal debt hole, bigger than the balance of trade, bigger than anything. Ten times over. Way bigger than US Congress inability to pass anything, way bigger than getting into bed with Al Qaeda, way bigger than the fact that Saddam didn't have WMD's, and over 100k people are dead as a result, and a country is no longer functional even with a good old dose of amerkin knowhow. It's way bigger than the lies about reconstruction, and way bigger than the debacle in Afghanistan. As God is my witless.

Amazing how any idiot can froth at the mouth over this and expect to be taken seriously.

That it is but here's a handy dandy scorecard to aid in keeping abreast of it all:

the only outrage here is for a white US Marine to hold an umbrella for a black president, that's all there is to it, isn't it ?

yes, but a Brit invented the Americans

No, the Brits just launched the European invasion and occupation of Nth America (some frogs too).

Interestingly each service allows females to hold and use umbrellas when in uniform. Whoever gave the orders should have found a female to hold the umbrella.
