I agree that invading Afghanistan & iraq was a bad idea - these people do not understand democracy - Democracy must come from within - it cannot be imposed from above
These peoples religion is a King Religion - God made in the image of a medieval king. Get down on ur knees, beg for mercy shaking with fear & if pleased nice God will let u stay in his castle(Heaven) or else it is the dungeon for u(Hell)
The closer they get to their king religion the farther away they get to democracy
My two important cents.
1. This is just rhetoric for a US administration that is facing blowback at home.
2. The answer to the problem is simple, yet complicated; Confedrate Af-Pak into a new country/nation state - United Islamic States(U.I.S).
Withdrawing from Afghanistan is a defeat for the Americans. It is good to be honest and say we did nothing in the past years. It is a shame that a lot of people died (including America's own soldiers) in a mission that took so long and did nothing (no security improvement, shattered country, waste of money, waste of effort and most importantly loss of lots of lives).
In the end, they want other countries to pay in order to keep the mess going!!! I don't know what to say.
The Americans must learn from history (at least recent history), they left Iraq and the country now is divided, heading the wrong direction, full of corruption and unstable. In addition, I haven't seen any democracy in Iraq until this moment. I have seen Iran strengthened and the region is more unstable and divided than ever.
I'm seeing a big change in politics actually. America's allies lost trust in America, which will be another challenge for the US and will mark a big change in world politics for years to come.
While I agree Afghanistan as a waste of time, money, and most importantly lives your premise that America is leaving the country worse than it was when they entered it that's extremely debatable. Women actually have limited rights in Afghanistan now, that wouldnt have happened prior to US involement. As far as Iraq there's no doubt about it, it's destabilizing and probably would have been better off left alone, only time will tell.
On the world politics front I'm not sure the "trust" you think we lost was ever there to begin with. It's been a long held belief by the rest of the world that America is imperialistic (which is absurd since we've never actually taken over any country totally) and thus distrusted by everyone. So what have we lost, nothing in my opinion.
As a resident and citizen of India I am deeply dismayed at the cavalier attitude with which the Western forces are planning to exit from Afghanistan without realizing the dangerous vacuum they leave behind and the resulting play out in South Asian geo politics.
Afghanistan is not a stable country and the exodus of the Western military forces will result in extremist influences rushing in to fill the power void. More disturbingly, the Pakistan government and its notorious ISI will now be able to divert its resources and capabilities towards their favorite goal – infiltration of Kashmir with ISI trained extremist elements. The US and its firm pressure, owing to its strategic interests in Afghanistan, have kept the Pakistan government and the ISI chafing on a short leash qua Kashmir and India. The peace and calm that prevailed in Kashmir and most of India will again be threatened by the same sickening litany of terrorist assaults on Indian soil and against Indian citizens. The Pakistan state actors will play out their diplomatic drama on the international stage duly supported by the likes of China in the UN and major Western capitals. The same Western powers presently entrenched in a military conflict will make soothing noises to placate India on the international arena to stall a confrontation between it and Pakistan. But here, in this vast country with its teeming cities, the sense of fear and insecurity for its citizens will be sharply revived.
Ur comment is very shameful - I am an Indian also, but at some point we have act like adults - who are the Americans to come to our neighborhood & make things right for us? If we have problems in our neighborhood, let us work hard, let us sacrifice & make things better. We are not weak little kids to be looking for the nice white man to come save us.
I feel bad that western lives are being lost - this is not thier battle, this is not their neighborhood. Those should be our losses - India should offer to help pay for their costs, India should offer our army to help the Americans - that's what a strong Independent nation would do and that is the right thing to do
We should have known better, good intentions get you squat. This isn't Germany or Japan where you can build nations and turn them back over this is the land of "I'm going to do it my way" and I will kill everyone until I get it my way. I think we should just pull out and let Iran, Pakistan, Russia, China and the stains deal with the Taliban since they wouldn't help.
The war to fight terrorists in Afghanistan is over.
The foreign aid amounted to 97% of Afghanistan's economy in 2010. Afghanistan produce 90% of Opium in the world, you can expect opium producation will increase after foreign aid reduced. The drug wars of Opium in the 'west' will appear on the news more often from now on.
Afghanistan is the bury ground for empires, British, Russian, now American. After 5.5 trillion dollar spent, 4,500 dead, 35,000 GI lost their arms or legs in Iraq and another 4,300 dead, 40,000 GI lost their legs or arms. Hundreds of thousands, millions of Iraqi and Afghanistan family crying for the innocent road kills....
During World war two, every one dead GI, 1-2 GI were wounded. During Vietnam war, every one dead GI, 3-4 GI were wounded. Now, because bullet proof vest, and other safety equipments, fewer are dead, lots more lost their arms and legs. The burden of taking care of the wounded will cost trillions after trillions in the future for the soldiers and their family.
45 cents of every dollar the U.S. government spends are borrowed from China, and other countries or printed. Every American is a negative millionaire, if you add the Federal Government deficts, state/county/city deficits, underfundedf Medicare, underfunded Social security, underfunded prescription drugs, student loans, mortgage, credit card balance, etc.
Euro is in big trouble, Iceland, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy, etc. I am not sure the Eruo will exist in few years.
Taliban will take their country back and all these will be written in history book as another fruitless, meaningless effort of another empire.
History has a habit to repeat itself?
Empire rises and crashing down....
"45 cents of every dollar the U.S. government spends are borrowed from China, and other countries or printed. "
Not sure why China gets top billing here. More China Threat Theory, I guess. But in reality most US debts (something like 54%) are being held by the Americans themselves, and of the rest of 46% or so, China only accounts for a small minority of it. But if you listen to American conservatives, you would have thought that China owns America. I am not calling you a Conservative, I am just tired both the American conservatives and Chinese nationalists spreading disinformation and expounding the notion that China owns all the US debt.
Westerners are self-deluding themselves if they reall think Mr Karzai and his ANSF will exist after the Americans and Europeans have left. The truth is that America has *bought* itself Mr Karzai, his goverment and its Afghan soldiers. Many if not most of them are deeply corrupt and therefore despised by the population. The Taleban are much less corrupt, not addicted to drugs and well-organized. That is why the population is on the side of the Taleban, instead of the "soldiers" America has simply bought. Very similar to Vietnam, I would say.
I predict Mr Karzai's head will spectactularly he removed from his body the day the last Americans take off from Kabul airport by Taleban fighters.
A typically botched operation by Americans, who believe that dollars can buy friendship and loyalty. All they bought are the services of the scumbags of Afghanistan.
As the invaders are really good pissers, most family members will probably that their loved ones are safer back home rather than ensconced in the military bases in an unfriendly environment.
"when you're wounded and left on afghanistan's plains,
and the women come out to cut up what remains,
jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
an' go to your gawd LIKE A SOLDIER."
If Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons, he would still be bossing his neighbors around and commissioning giant bronze statues of himself.
If Qaadafi had nuclear weapons, he would still be running Libya and presiding over UN Human Rights Committees.
If Al Assad had nuclear weapons, he would be holding all the Aces in the Syrian Civil War. He would be untouchable.
Kim il-Song has nuclear weapons and his transition to Mini-Me went smoother than any Arab Spring.
Now Ahmadinejad, with one of the world's largest petroleum and natural gas reserves, wants nuclear reactors to generate electricity for Iran's power hungry cities.
And ironically Ahmadinejad claims: HE DOESN'T WANT A NUCLEAR BOMB.
He is either extremely ignorant and naive......or diabolically dastardly.
Iran sees nuclear weapons as an insurance against overthrow. And with a chilly Arab Spring, it is going into overdrive. A nuclear bomb will make Iran, both Dessert Storm-Proof and Arab Spring-Proof.
Until the big or the biggest powers cease to pursue Imperialism of using force like gunboat, drone, missile etc. to enforcing their diktat and policies on other, many small or smaller countries which are lumped Axis-of-Evils will continue to resist them with whatever resources they can muster.
The honor of China is being soiled in several blogs here (the ones about China being an the imperialist power in South China sea, about China murdering Tibetans in their own homeland, about China occupying Xinjiang, or about China promoting genocide in Syria). Your patriotic services are needed much more urgently on those blogs to rescue China's good name from all those who are slinging mud at it.
Actually the greater muderer and seller of arms is not China but the US. How many people had the US murdered in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya? How many South American politicians had the US murdered? Which country is the first seller of arms?
Waiting for Afghanistan to be ready to take over for US and NATO operations has always been an iffy proposition at best, since most evidence points to that likelihood being a far distant point at best.
It cannot be our job to keep the Taliban from taking another active role in the lives of the citizens of Afghanistan. End of the day, that is simply not our responsibility, it is theirs. That sounds harsh I know, but our initial and primary mission was Bin Laden and Taliban. Bin Laden is dead and many of those intimately involved in the fight against the Taliban argue that making their outright defeat is another goal with a murky endpoint, if one at all.
I support the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and I say that with full knowledge of the internal damage that US and NATO forces have wrought there in their fight against the Taliban. I simply feel that that particular debt is one that cannot ever be repaid; to stay longer even under that pretense would be a mistake.
@JEAN MICHEL.What you write is simply false.The US "killed murdered,assassinated,tortured".You can't see the difference between those whom liberated Europe from the nazifascists and the SS.This means that in your case they wasted lives,time,money.It is true that not all those who fight in the US forces are angels.When they landed in Sicily,they executed 73 italian soldiers of the division LIVORNO accused of fighting too wildly and having killed too many US paratroopers.During the D-Day the german soldiers shooting from the bunkers were killed after captured.In VIetnam lieutenanat William Calley killed the inhabithnts of the village of MY LAY accused of helping the viets,while in Iraq they tortured some prisoners of ABU GHRAIB.But this is war,dear friend,and in war the worst folks have the opportunity of showing their true colours.But to extend these limited facts to the responsibility of an entire nation is a slander.The US is the cornerstone of the Westwn Defence,included that of our freedom of defaming them like you are doing.As for VIetnam,it's the poorest country of southeast Asia,thanks to the communist.You paint it like a paradise,where "people is happy where it is":why not move there and enjoy their wealth,their freedom and their fantastic medical system?
With the final defeat of Imperialism sooner, the bigger or biggest powers may be more ready to use talking, diplomacy, negotiation etc. rather than use of gun-boat drone missile forces to bring about changes in small countries.
Wht did the US invade Vietnam and Iraq in the first place? How many millions of people did the US murder in these two countries and for what reason? You speak of the murder of the unarmed My Lai population as if you are telling us how you bought a dress, that is, as if nothing special had happened. As for your comments on Vietnam today, I believe that you are completely out of touch with the reality. Why don't you continue to play with your dolls and cats?
Pakistan must ensure that India loses all it's influence in Afghanistan. That will not be so difficult. US/NATO should support Pakistan to bring stability in Afghanistan. Pakistan has the forces available to guard BOTH sides of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
US/NATO should transfer their border security equipment to Pakistan and fund the security of the border. This way, Afghanistan will have a credible chance of maintaining internal security which they need for development. Taliban should be dismantled by Pakistan so that a secular, democratic Afghanistan can emerge.
If Mr Panetta's announcement is the considered view of the US administration, then perhaps we are entitled to ask why the US-led coalition went to Afghanistan in the first place. Our understanding has been, as Mr Bush told us in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, that the US went there to destroy the terrorists, then called the Taliban of Afghanistan and their guests Al Qaeda of Osama bin Laden. Everybody who was anybody assured us that the 9/11 attacks were masterminded by Al Qaeda and that the US had resolved to destroy them and their hosts the Taliban. Within November 2001 the coalition had made short work of both Taliban and Al Qaeda. For the record it may be well to remember that, thanks to Pakistan and its Army and ISI, OBL made his escape from Tora Bora and all their leaders found refuge and safe havens in Pakistan. That's where they remained from then on – until US SEALs killed OBL in Abbottabad on 2 May 2011. It has been said that Mullah Omar has been in Quetta much of the time: his advisers are known as the Quetta Shura, or Quetta Council. We are constrained to say this because the write up only speaks in passing of Pakistan's support to the Taliban: there seems to be no willingness even on The Economist's part to say in unmistakable words that Pakistan has been supporting terror for the best part of the past 20 to 30 years. In other words, Pakistan has been using terror as instrument of its policies for that period.
Americans could have picked up their things and made their exit any time: there was nothing to stop them from making their exit, which would and will not look anything like "peace with honour" but it will definitely have the aspect of a humiliating withdrawal. Even then we are assured that it is important for the US administration to maintain close and cordial relations with Pakistan: as if it was likely that those relations could be even possible, far from being close and cordial. We have not understood why the US administration shrinks from calling things by their proper names when numerous US sources have left no one in doubt that Pakistan has from day one played on both sides of the line. It made no difference if Mr Bush thundered that you are either with us or against us. Gen Musharraf hoodwinked Mr Bush throughout and earned handsome dividends for Pakistan. Pakistan's present leaders continue with the charade that is Pakistan's "cooperation" in the global war against terror: Pakistan itself is the author of most of that terror worldwide.
As long as Pakistan remains convinced about terrorists being its principal asset, the US and Allies should despair of achieving a desirable objective in Afghanistan, even if US and ISAF troops leave Afghanistan tomorrow.
V. C. Bhutani, Delhi, India, 6 Feb 2012, 1138 IST
Imperialists are known to frequently resort to the "Divide and Rule" stratagem in their bags of tricks. In fact, it is now probable that the US will pull out the last Ace from its sleeves by setting the Indian RAW against the Pakis ISI.
If you had thought about this question, Sir, you would have known that India did not join the war in Afghanistan, nor the war in Iraq. India only took a role in reconstruction in Afghanistan. RAW and ISI are opaque places in both countries. It is difficult to speak with confidence about either of them. These two do not work at the behest of US or its CIA. The sad part is that Pakistan persists in supporting and patronizing terrorists, who are definitely its very own people. This is my conviction: I don't need to see evidence on this. At one level it is unfortunate that Pakistan chose terror as its principal tool. This will ultimately prove to be Pakistan's undoing. The world will catch up with Pakistan in due time.
You may think so. But there is not the thoughts of the Taliban as shown by the painful lesson of the embassy bombing in Kabul. The ISI and RAW are already brawling on the streets of Kabul.
The US is poor enough to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan now.
In fact America should have never send soldiers there,what have the things there to do with America?
This world does not need a world police,every country's people have right to decide what way they should take.There is never a good result to intervene in others'internal affairs.
In my opinion America is always too confident in everything.I am always curious why Uncle Sam considers itself as the Saviour.
America's domestic situation is in a mess,why does it pay so much attention to other things?Is this the so-called spirit of internationalism ?
The Hegemon seems to send a mixed signal to the Taliban. While it seem to indicate to the Talibs and ISI controller that it is prepared to abdicate the responsibilities of protecting the crony Kaizai and his Drug cum Warlords, it want to retain a military force to protect its ego-strategic interests in Central Asia.
No reasonably defined " victory" is possible in Afghanistan. The government there is impossibly corrupt and incapable of supporting any success that might eventually be achieved.The only realistic goal for the U.S in Afghanistan was achieved when Osama Bin Laden was killed.The sooner we are all "outta there", the better for all concerned!

"The timing of Mr Panetta's remarks about accelerating the pace of the transition to Afghan national security forces (ANSF) owes more to the Obama administration's electoral calculations than to the situation in Afghanistan."
Or, could it be that the USA is rearranging its forces for a likely war on Iran?
"[...] to what Mr Obama once called the "good war""
Obama, a Nobel Peace Laureate, just like Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and F W de Klerk...
It is not just the Taliban, it is also the erratic and corrupt Karzai 'government' and the double-faced ISI that have made NATO's efforts in Afghanistan very difficult.
The USA and NATO quitting Afghanistan for now may not turn out to be a victory for anyone else, including the Taliban. They can over-run one or two provinces in southern Afghanistan but their control of Kabul remains to be tested. They may find it hard going elsewhere in Afghanistan, especially, in northern Afghanistan.
The USA can shore up northern forces through her presence in some of the Central Asian Republics.
Pakistan's ISI may find that their Huqqani 'net work' and other wild bunches of Pashtoon-Taliban fighters do not care for their old master. They may, on the other hand, turn around to support the Pakistani Taliban against the Pak. army and the ISI.
In the medium and longer term, China too may have to worry about Afghanistan.
Fact is often stranger than fiction.
So, it is too soon for actors in the Af-Pak region to celebrate the NATO withdrawal.
The Indian government is even more corrupt.
Even there, one must acknowledge China's lead.

I dont like it. He snarls, crossing and uncrossing his arms anxiously. The Half-drey just ignored it, however, stroking his short beard thoughtfully. It didnt bother him any to be someplace without walls or ceiling

Look up
Orin smirks softly, gesturing upward. His rings glinted in the bright light of the moon, making Shand squint.
I dont want to. He snaps back, irritably, sitting down on the ground, the heavy spider limbs that hang from his back twitching dangerously.
Aww. Big man is SKAWED. Batzu sniggered. The half demon, who looked like nothing more impressive than a chubby, horned infant with wings, sniggered as he lit an thick cigar, further offending Shands eyes with the flames interruption of the darkness. Its the tiny wings that keep him air born as one of Shands talon-ended spider limbs smashes through the branch the half demon is perched on. Even the sound of it breaking and falling dont sound right without cavern walls to make them echo. Too blunt, too final, as though this entire empty world were trying to cover the sound.
Im not SCARED, Pest. I just dont like it. And You
He turns a hot glare on Orin, whos still scratching runes in the dirt. In spite of the eye stinging light of the moon they seem to fill with shadows as though comforting darkness had been poured into the shallow grooves. You still havent told me what the hell were doing up here.

Chad Johnson WR MIA Feb 28 '79
Free agent Chad Johnson has been arrested for violating the terms of his probation in his 2012 domestic violence case.
Ochocinco violated the terms of his probation by missing two visits with his probation officer, and failing to prove he had enrolled in a domestic violence education class. The 35-year-old former NFLer is now facing jail time.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Feb 24 '791 Comment
TMZ.com reports that Broward County, FL has issued a warrant for free agent Chad Johnson's arrest.
The warrant stems from his domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last summer. Johnson has reportedly failed to report to his probation officer, violating the terms of his probation. If it is determined that he violated the terms of his probation, Johnson could face jail time.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Jan 13 '79
Free agent WR Chad Johnson is still trying to get back in the NFL.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Johnson is "working out every day, wanting to play, willing to do what it takes." But much like his old friend Terrell Owens, it's just not going to happen. Johnson is 35 and hasn't put anything positive on tape since 2010. Neither guy is worth the trouble.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Jan 04 '79
Free agent Chad Johnson pleaded no contest on Monday in his battery case that is still being resolved.
Johnson has participated in anger management and is asking to be put on administrative probation in order to put the case to rest. Johnson also reiterated his desire to return to the NFL this season. He has already expressed a desire to play for the Texans. Nobody is going to sign the 35-year-old.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Dec 26 '781 Comment
Free agent WR Chad Johnson is hoping to make a comeback this season.
Johnson told CSN Houston that he wants to play for the Texans, but conceded that he's in "no position to be picky." After being released by the Dolphins in training camp and missing all of 2012, it's unlikely that any team is willing to take on a shot on him. Johnson turned 35 this offseason and hasn't been productive since 2010.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Sep 15 '782 Comments
Free agent WR Chad Johnson admitted on ESPN's First Take Wednesday that his August arrest for domestic battery, in addition to an obsession with self-promotion, cost him the end of his NFL career.
"I messed up. I messed up," said Johnson. "Period. I lost everything. Football, my wife, the family I had, over something that didn't really mean anything." Johnson finalized his divorce from Evelyn Lozada in September. "I lost that edge when my focus went away from the game of football," Johnson also conceded. "I know that. I understand that." Johnson says he's now "humbled", and guaranteed that he's "going to play again." He turns 35 in a month.
Chad Johnson WR MIA Jun 29 '78
Free agent WR Chad Johnson is not working out for the Eagles Tuesday.
Johnson created a stir when he tweeted that he had a flight to Philadelphia Tuesday morning. As it turns out, his trip to the city of brotherly love has nothing to do with the football team. Johnson remains unlikely to play in the NFL this season.
Chad Johnson WR MIA May 26 '784 Comments
Tuesday's episode of Hard Knocks revealed that Chad Johnson was struggling to pick up the Dolphins offense, just as he did last year in New England.
Chad Johnson WR MIA May 25 '78
Free agent Chad Johnson has issued an apology for his domestic violence arrest over the weekend.
The apology comes just hours after Johnson's wife of 41 days filed for divorce. "I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred," Johnson said. "I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death. I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL ... I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life."

Epic Masterpiece
I cannot begin to describe my Thoughts on Final Fantasy VII.
In my opinion it is the best game ever made, and there will probably be none comparable to it ever again.
It is one of a few games i would Categorise as a game to play before you die.
The Graphics still amaze me today, 10 years after release, i cant remember what was going through my mind when i first played it.
The story is very good, it has ways of making you care about the characters and after a while you begin to feel very involved with the story.
I dont want to write too much to spoil it.

So when making a yeast starter, a stir plate is standard equipment. Why then wouldn't we use a stir bar to agitate the wort during fermentation? at least, during the colony growth phase? I understand the desire to have solids settle out of suspension toward the end of fermentation, but wouldn't agitation provide active yeast with maximum exposure to fermentables?
It would also provide your beer maximum exposure to O2. If you aerate your wort before pitching, there should be plenty of O2 for reproduction and after that point you want to minimize exposure anyway.
"Science + beer = good!" -Adam Savage
This is like the third person today who has asked this....weird. Besides keeping the yeast in suspension, you use a stirbar to, in a sense, whip oxygen into the stater, because oxygen is important to good yeast growth, or reproduction. But once the yeast has reproduced, oxygen is actually bad for beer. That's why you aerate wort intitially (and maybe again before the 12th hour for extremely high gravity beers- search for those discussions) but unless you like the taste of wet cardboard, you don't want to whip any more oxygen into the beer.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Oxidized beer is not yummy, that's the scientific explanation.
But a fermenter is (usually) a closed system with a one-way airlock, so the quantity of oxygen in the system is finite. As the yeast utilize the dissolved oxygen in growth, doesn't more O2 dissolve into the solution in equilibrium with the O2 partial pressure?
Further, with a given headspace volume, the initial volume of o2 is quantifiable (roughly). Also, couldn't you CO2 purge the fermenter to eliminate the gaseous oxygen anyway?
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
Ah! It's not a matter of disliking your explanation! I certainly did not mean to offend. I was just looking for a bit more of a scientific explanation than "Oxidized beer is not yummy" I was merely conjecturing and offering my thoughts on the situation

I was intrigued due to the fragrance being based on experiencing the smells and sensations of the Olympia music hall in Paris.
I'm going to be straight forward in my review as there are many on the web that unpack the layers of this fragrance.
I smell fruity vertiver and leather. There are some notes of pepper and even menthol. A unisex fragrance but better suited to males. Lasts about 5 hours before it starts to fade into the background.
JPG Classique evokes a night out in a historic music hall to me and is entirely suited to women who want to take that feeling with them with just a spritz.
Best to test this fragrance before buying.

The Future of Saab?

nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695So what happened? Has Saab ceased to exist? They are bringing out this 9-4X which doesn't look to be substantially better than its competition in any sort of standout way, and is heavy and expensive by class standards. The new 9-3 isn't ready for production yet. How can this company possibly survive short of wholesale to the Chinese for pennies on the dollar?

The End Is Near: Saab Can't Meet Payroll
I was hoping they would make it (not expecting much from Spyker) but the damage was done long before there was ever a chance. :sick: -
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,187True to some degree. Saab went through the 90's and 2000's under their umbrella and never made a profit. However , I think there is plenty of blame for the former General Motors Company as well...
There was a lot of parts sharing, such as the 9-3, which was transferred to the same platform as the Rentabu, Saturn Aura and Pontiac G6 in 2003. Also that short stint where the former General had stake in Subaru and thought it was a good idea to rebadge a Subaru Impreza as the 9-2. I love my Subie and all but it's not a luxury car... Or the most un-Saab like vehicle you could ask for, a rebadge trailblazer clone, complete with the optional pushrod V8. Really? :sick: Meanwhile the 9-5 soldered on since 1998 (12 years!) without any revision, the current 9-3 has been around 8 years with the same neglect, other than a few trim packages like the "Black" or the Aero/Arc. Sure, no more Trailblazer trucks, but there is a Cadillac SRX clone that I don;t know if it even hit the lots or is permanently stillborn.
Lastly, under their umbrella, Saab abandoned one of their true calling cards, the hatchback. I know the Saab fans I know miss that feature and were completely angered by the elimination of even having the option of a hatch...
Even more sad to me is that for all the trauma and drudging thru the mud that Saab had endured over the years, GM managed to pillage what would become the Ecotec 4-cylinder that was later used everything from the Rentabu to the T/C unit in the Cobalt SS. Similar to what they did with the Duramax Diesel, designed by Isuzu before they were blown off the US map as well.
And without a doubt, I believe Saabs' safety engineers played a big part in the improvements at the former General when it comes to their recent IIHS crash test scores.
I have never been a hard core Saab fan, or even a mild one. And based on a pair of rentals that I had for over a month a bout 5 years ago, I can say they were pretty poorly built and had a lot of problems to go with their quirks, but I am still saddened by the death of a once great carmaker that was IMO, left to rot on the vine for the later majority of it's life. -

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,965If Saab does go banko, then it will be interesting to compare the effect on the Swedish economy vs. what the US did with GM and Chrysler. The Swedish government declined to bail out Saab long ago. Big difference in size and jobs, but we'll see.

gkg680 Posts: 25I would agree strongly with the commentary about the demise of the hatchback. I bought a new 900 Turbo coupe in 1983 and never thought that a car so much fun to drive could be so inexpensive. In 1996 I bought a new 900S and loved it. Both cars had a 5-speed, lasted 13 years, and might've lasted longer with better care. Tremendous value at $16K and $21.5K, before tax, respectively.
The hatchback/trunk of those cars were enormous, and if you folded down the back seat, you could transport kitchen appliances. They were distinctive, not everyone drove one, and they certainly had character, despite lacking room in the back seat.
It would be illuminating to learn why Saab discontinued those, although one could get essentially the same car in convertible form, if one wanted a convertible. As other gentlemen have stated, survival seems unlikely for Saab now, and it's a shame, and a loss for driving enthusiasts. Saab 4-door sedans, the remaining product lines, seem bland, overpriced, and ill-equipped to compete in the marketplace. -

A short poem about break up and not wanting to move on
because you still love and want that person
even through its the best thing for you to do.
Sitting here all alone heartbroken thinking about you and the mistakes we made. Will our love for each other grow or fade away. I love you and no words can amount to that. I'll do whatever it take to get you back. Weak, missing you longing for your touch while trying to stay strong. Trying to figure out where the hell we went wrong. I'm tried of singing the same old sad song knowing in my heart here with me is where you belong.

The problem in Denmark is that anxiety is pushing my fellow country men towards the fare right and Pia Kjærsgaard. The reason for this is examples such rhetoric such as judges wearing burkas and that Denmark will have a majority of immigration by 2050 if we don't act. All of it is orchestrated by the DPP.
I have relatives in one of the most isolated areas of Denmark, call Thy. It is in the fare northwest of Denmark. They are all very good and very hospitable people, yet it is her that DPP is the most popular. The paradox is that it is also hear there are the fewest immigrants.
It is true that we have problems with citizens with an immigrant background. But what the majority of the Danish votes fail to recognize, is that they are also; the poorest, the less educated and many of their parents have suffered gruesome thing before the fled for Denmark. Their children are therefore also the most likely to become criminals.
Racism have been a big taboo in Denmark, and I don't believe that the Danish people have realized how poorly immigrants have been able to integrate, despite their best intentions, because of it. As a consequence they have therefore found their identity in their religion, and nobody is going to tell them if they should or should not weir a scarf or not.
Muslim woman wearing a scarf is not a problem; the Burka is a completely different mater which DPP keeps bring op for populist purposes.
*In 2003, Kj�rsgaard lost a libel suit in the Danish Supreme Court against a political opponent who had characterized her viewpoints as racist. The court cited past speeches made by Kj�rsgaard.
*Denmark'S Muslim population is about 3%.
**I applauded The Economist for its stands against Jean-Marie Le Pen and his infamous 2nd place win in 2002.
**Do we have to wait until the global recession hits Denmark hard and DPP is able to scapegoat the immigrants to become 2nd in the Folketing or maybe even FIRST!!!
As an American, agnostic, and one-time Catholic, I certainly don't expect everyone to share my personal viewpoint, but this kind of interference by the state is something I find indefensible. Imagine yourself thrust a couple centuries into the future, where nudity is the new cultural norm and only the religious wear any clothing at all. How would you feel about being compelled to disrobe? Certainly in the case of the Muslim headscarf, and possibly, to an extent, in the case of Jewish skullcaps and Sikh turbans as well, the issue is cultural norms regarding modesty. Equating the Christian cross, a simple adornment, creates the illusion of even-handedness where none exists. It would be easy to argue, on principle, to ban the cross alone – that it would never succeed is due to the long-standing Christian tradition in the West. I would however support a ban on the burqa on the grounds of overriding security concerns. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to treat as illegal the violation of our own norms of modesty ("indecent exposure"), yet to also make it illegal for those with even more stringent norms to comply with them?
Many would say that Islam is a totalitarian political ideology disguised as a religion. Since there is no separation of religion & state in Islam, this challenges our ideas of freedom of religion & the very definition of religion. I think the Danes have a clearer picture than some of the more politically correct, multi-culturalist liberals who prefer policies of appeasement & hide behind vague & inaccurate platitudes & rhetoric.
Mrs Kjaersgaard didn�t start the debate. It was Domstolstyrelsen - the administrative body of danish courts, who published a senseless dresscode that allowed burka-clad judges.
Politiken (aka Immigrant & Gay News) is a bleeding-heart liberal (in the american sense) newspaper with biased reporting. Don�t put too much faith in their surveys !!
@ Deepthroat
It's very important to remember that the public had to be able to see the face of the judge, also according to the old rules. A judge would not be allowed to wear a burka according to old or new rules. It's only propaganda when the DPP used the picture that they did. It could never happen. The debate is about the headscarf, not the burka.
What is striking, to me, about this debate, is that it's all about signals and appearance. To become a judge you will be tested time and time again, and if you think a hand should be chopped of a burglar, or that stoning loose women is all good and fair, you probably shouldn't rely on passing those tests.
To become a Danish judge you have to judge by Danish law, simple and plain. Otherwise you won't get the chance to become a judge. But this ban is to assure that people don't THINK they are getting a harsher punishment because the supposedly oppressed woman with the headscarf is making the call. In reality she would make her decision according to Danish law, nothing else.
Being a Dane myself and having lived more than half my life outside Denmark I am able to look at my home country with relatively objective eyes and I would NOT feel comfortable facing a burka-clad judge. It has no place in a court of law, and it is not an anti Islamic as the ban is for the wearing of all religious symbols by judges — from Christian crosses to Jewish skullcaps and even Sikh turbans. What ever religious faith (or sexual orientation) the judge might have is his or her private business, but a courtroom is not a place to advertise it. Hardly what I call hate- and fear-mongering.
Why do Ms Kjaersgaard and the DPP get to define the headscarf as a "symbol of political Islam and the discrimination against women"? For many Muslim women it is no such thing. Maybe they should hold a referendum to see how many Muslim women wear it for that purpose.
If anyone has to worry about religious intolerance, it is members of minority groups. How long have judges worn crosses in Danish courts, with no one caring about the symbolism and its effect on non-Christan parties before the court?
The Danish government should stand firm against Ms Kjaersgaard's hate- and fear-mongering.

Review: Equalizer for Mac fine-tunes vinyl records that were digitally imported
Equalize gramophone tracks after capturing them with general-purpose amplifiers, using this powerful utility for Mac.
With Equalizer for Mac you can correct the equalization levels of vinyl records you've imported into a digital format, using general-purpose amplifiers. A purpose-built utility, it only accepts a handful of file formats and even then there are other restrictions, like the number of channels and the sample size and rate. So don't expect to use it as an everyday equalizer.
Equalizer for Mac features a main window where you'll find all equalization settings sorted in four groups. Despite being logically organized, the interface can overwhelm you, at first, with its many sliders and buttons. On the upside, the app comes prepopulated with the most popular filters and it allows you to import and export others as well as create your own. Another nice feature is that when equalizing a track, the app creates a copy to which it applies all the modifications, leaving the original intact. In our tests the equalization took a small amount of time; we were able to process a three-minute track in approximately ten seconds and we did notice a discernible difference.
By its very definition and purpose, Equalizer for Mac appeals to a specific audience: music lovers who capture vinyl records using suboptimal amplifiers and preamplifiers. It's a really handy app, but the very busy interface might turn off novices.
