We Yanks already did that - sort of. Bush assured Putin that after the removal of Hussein, the outstanding debts that Iraq owes Russia would still be in place. The French deal is a bit trickier, seeing as how we're supposedly freeing the Iraqis. Guaranteeing the French a piece of the...

Can't say I've had any sound problems. There's a readme attached to the demo that discusses potential problems with video cards and sound cards, so you might want to look there if you haven't already. Other than that, I'm not sure how to fix it. NoRemorse - as far as enemy fighters being...

The control scheme and viewpoint screamed "console game" to me, but other than that, I thought it was a lot of fun to play. Its a shame that the demo kills itself after such a short period of time, especially since they apparently went ahead and stuffed a lot of equipment into the demo that you...

Resolution 1441, however, leaves the burden of proof with Saddam. It basically says, prove you got rid of them. If Hussein is such a genius that he wouldn't do anything as risky as launch a WMD attack against the US, then why hasn't he complied with Resolution 1441? Bush is breathing down...

You have to be convicted of a crime before you can be pardoned.

Er... No. The Taliban were NOT involved in the fighting against the Soviets. While many other Afghani factions were involved in the fighting, and most of them (not all) were funded and supplied by the US, the Taliban had nothing whatsoever to do with the fighting. The collective name for the...

The Taliban themselves didn't get involved in the fighting against the Soviets, afaik. After the Soviets left, the country disintegrated into numerous factions. It was only after a couple of years of this that the Taliban made a play for power. IIRC, they received wide-spread support in the...

Pardon? There'd be nothing to pardon. US laws don't apply on foreign soil. The US has no jurisdiction in Iraq, and thus you could not be tried for murder in the United States if the murder was committed in Iraq. The most the US could do to you is have you extradited to Iraq, where you'd...

Er, gentlemen... Why does everyone keep insisting that no one has proven Saddam has had WMDs? We KNOW he had them. Its a proven fact. The government admitted as much in the past. It has also USED them in the past. UN Resolution 1441 laid the burden on Iraq to prove that it had dismantled...

The government can't really prohibit ordinary citizens from assassinating people in foreign lands. Because they're not employees, they're not beholden to the government. And because the assassination takes place outside the jurisdiction of the US legal system (presumeably taking place in a...

Carter's a nice guy and an idealist. And that's about all you can say about him. He was a fairly ineffective president. And he seems determined to use his former office as a way of annoying anyone he disagrees with who is currently in that office. He means well, but he does a really poor job...

Can't say I cared much for the movie. It seemed to me that they spent too long setting stuff up, and then rushed to the climax sequences in the movie. The middle was more or less non-existent. The people I was with all enjoyed it, however.

The current situation is more or less exactly the same as it was when Resolution 1441 was passed. With the noteable exception of some small items (Personally, I'm not certain why 93 miles is the magic number on missile ranges. Anyone care to fill me in? Otherwise, I'm not overly concerned...

Preorder Freelancer and get a free shirt! :eek: As they often do, EB and Gamestop apparently struck a deal with Microsoft, and pre-ordering from them will get you a free long sleeve t-shirt. The Adrenaline Vault has a short blurb about it here...

Unfortunately for Iraq, the inspectors don't need to prove everything. The inspectors need to prove the existence of weapons which no one knew anything about, and the Iraqis need to prove the destruction of weapons that everyone did know about. In addition, given the date that Powell provides...

That's also mentioned in the AVault story I linked with below. Good to finally see a release date we can absolutely trust on this game.

Re: Re: FreeLancer News! Unfortunately, given the "release history" of this particular game, dates didn't really mean a whole lot until the game actually went gold. IIRC, only a year and a half ago, there was a handful of announcements by MS that Freelancer would be out in "six months"...

Unfortunately, that overlooks one important thing. Iraq has had and has used WMDs in the past, against the Kurds, and iirc against the Iranians (during the war in the early '80s). So there's no dispute over whether or not Iraq has had WMDs. The question is whether or not they have any now...
