#6  Personally, if I were the Iraqi PM, I'd import about two dozen of these guys and put an end to the BS in Fallujah.

All of my Iraqi friends always said the biggest mistake the US made in Iraq was not going into Fallujah and Ramadi in the very beginning and knock both of those places flat.

That being said, Obama is looking for ways to unwind any good that Bush accomplished in the middle east so he can claim he improved things with his lack of common sense.

#5  Air Force One was barely off the ground for the 10-hour flight when White House aides began making bold predictions: They expected no urgent news to break during the trip. And this year — for the first time since Mr. Obama took office and began making a regular Christmas sojourn to Hawaii, where he lived as a teenager — they were right.

Of course they were right, The WON DOESN'T LIKE to be disturbed.

#4  The Mongolian 'Eagle Hunters' indeed do use a short arm-rest that attaches to their saddles while they hunt their eagles. They take it off when not needed.

#3  If the Han were smart they'd build a wall around Mongolia. Hasn't that been tried?

#2  Hell of a picture Fred. I was wondering how he could long hunt while carrying what looks like 15 lbs of claw and feather. It looks like he has something to brace his arm on. If the Han were smart they'd build a wall around Mongolia.

#1  Â“One of the reasons that the president, I think, likes it here is that he can have a sense of normalcy, even within his security bubble,” said Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii. “He can still feel, perhaps, like he did when he was a teenager, just for a few moments at a time.”
