What a rip-off! If this thing RVs, I'm buying a butt-load of solar panels. If it RVs high, I'm buying property in a windy, sunny location with flowing water. I want off this grid!

Thanks for the reply BanG. So how are we to refine whatever oil we pump out of N Dakota or Alaska, if we decide to do so? Have a look at this link: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/06/obama-weighs-tapping-strategic-petroleum-reserve-counter-oil-price-spike/?test=latestnews

Seems we could refine that crude ourselves.

I plan on taking at least 2 months off after the RV. Maybe they know something we don't.

Come on bro. Look at what you just said ^^^. This site is filled with answers for free. What kind of answers are you guys demanding here? Do you just want to be told what you want to be told or what? Give it a rest and go research the news. When you find something interesting, please share it on the forums. If you're burnt out after waiting for 3 years, i can understand. You will get an email when it happens. Go out and play, it's Saturday!

Can anyone tell me why my epic gif is not working? The target gif is still live and displays when i type the url. I know it's off topic but I doubt the OP will care or notice.

Righteous. Thanks to our troops for your service and sacrifices.

Really good read there SL. Thanks for posting. It is great to see this issue discussed at such a high level. Iraq has got to be on that list. Please be Iraq, please be Iraq, please be Iraq.

I was reading comments on facebook (iraqi revolution). I was taken by the comments of one Iraqi and decided to send him a message. We are friends on facebook now. He speaks English. Good guy...

Shiesty!

Nah, you just bunted for a single.

Strike 2...

I have to disagree with you there. How could the news ignore all of the new Porsches, BMWs, and Ferraris on the road; All of the new private jets and boats; the sudden spike in air travel; the sudden spike in sales of those little umbrellas that they put in your drink. Thanks for posting Eagle. Did you catch the channel on any of the trucks?

So, let's see if I have this right. The Sadr front is threatening to stop backing Maliki because he said he would address the Iraqi's issues too quickly? They think it would be better if Maliki took 6 months to provide basic services rather than get it done i half the time? Something's up here.

I wonder what's so funny for these guys. Or at least Allawi looks amused. Sadr looks like he's faking it. We'll see what their faces look like if there are actually a million Iraqis prtoesting in Baghdad one day. Thanks for the post 98.

The GOI has handed out "licenses" to protesters to organize in convenient areas, like parks. Also, they wont be banning cars this time and security has been charged with protecting the protesters from terrorists. LINK

May not be a fatty meal consisting of meat head and legs and stomach sheep acceptable to all, but in Iraq, a favorite dish for breakfast. And is famous for that meal called Pachachi particularly in the city of Mosul, where the locals start their day during the cold winter months. Begin preparing a meal to remove the hair sheep head and cleaned and then primed legs and guts and wash well before the season the meat curry powder and boil on low heat. Restaurant owner Mustafa Abdullah said Pachachi Iaadad needs skill. "After that comes the pension of the massacres, which is a foot and the flesh of the head and Damadm if they are cleaned more than once, and after cooking. This cooking needs to be skilled in making this dish. Restaurants exist and are great, but every restaurant has the privacy of the art of cooking." Pachachi and can be prepared from the heads of sheep or cattle and eaten widely in Iraq. And Mosul is the original home of the Beja, and when visited by Iraqis from other regions do not miss the opportunity to address. A customer outside a restaurant in Mosul, "Pachachi dish famous in Mosul and the people take care of her every morning, not evening. For the Beja are desirable winter more than summer, people desired it eaters rich and gives power to humans. Iotona people from other provinces .. from Baghdad or Dohuk to eat Pachachi. " And is often described Pachachi as treatment for those suffering from calcium deficiency. But one of the experienced chefs said that people enjoy it in all circumstances. He said the chef Abu governance "This dish old in Mosul and Twartnaha generation after generation. And this we took their fathers and grandfathers. Pachachi people prefer unnaturally meal breakfast. I mean imagine, even in the time of the curfew or time of the census population of the world Kyi (people) come and exceeded all checkpoints (checkpoints) to eat the Beja. " Pachachi, ate the Iraqis at breakfast and they offer to their guests in the celebrations and special events. YUMMY

Iraqis get the Tahrir spirit Last Friday's day of rage shows Nouri al-Maliki is in danger of becoming the Mubarak of Baghdad As the walls of fear are being knocked down in one Arab country after another, the ugly concrete walls "of separation and intimidation" erected by the US-led forces in Iraqi cities have become a target of protesters. During last Friday's "day of rage", 29 people were killed by security forces. Another day of protest is planned for this Friday (4 March) "to honour the 29 martyrs". The regime's tactics – which include the shooting of peaceful demonstrators – show that the post-occupation edifice built by the US is not much different from the assortment of American-backed dictatorships across north Africa and the Middle East. It was George Bush who – referring to Syrian troops in Lebanon – declared that free and fair elections were not possible under occupation. Iraqis for once find themselves in agreement with him as they question the legitimacy of elections under occupation that produced a toothless parliament with no more power than Egypt's under Mubarak. Like all regimes threatened by mass uprisings, Iraq is a police state that shows its true face once challenged by the people. And the more radical the challenge, the more violent the reaction. In Egypt and Tunisia hundreds were killed and thousands injured to bring about the downfall of Ben Ali and Mubarak. But the most radical demand – the regime's overthrow – has yet to be tested. In Iraq a majority of Friday's protesters wanted to "reform" rather than overthrow a "corrupt" regime. However, the lesson the regime appears to have drawn from the great uprisings sweeping the region is to anticipate and act to stop people, especially in Baghdad, from congregating in large numbers. Extraordinary measures were taken to prevent people converging on the capital's Tahrir Square. All of Baghdad's many bridges over the Tigris – linking the two halves of the city – were closed, all vehicles and bicycles banned. New concrete blast walls sealed off Jamahiriya bridge, which leads to the hated Green Zone. A city of over 6 million people had been turned into a massive site for police and army encampments and fortifications. Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, was clearly motivated by fear of the masses, declaring that although he was in favour of protecting the right to protest, he thought it best that in future people should gather only in Baghdad's football stadium or al-Zowra'a park – rather than march for rallies in Tahrir Square. Presumably he was petrified by the thought that a great banner, similar to the one that adorned Cairo's Tahrir square, would go up proclaiming: "The people want to overthrow the regime". For its part, the world's biggest US embassy – the power behind the throne – took the unprecedented step of broadcasting in Arabic, on state TV, a thinly veiled threat to protesters not to go too far in their demands. The US, it stressed, fully backed the "democratically elected" regime, while supporting the right to peaceful protest. Hillarious Clinton and Barack Obama must be pretty confused as to which dictatorship they should now abandon and which to prop up. Maliki has so far made four state-TV broadcasts. In the first two he urged people to stay at home, because "Ba'athists and al-Qaida terrorists" had infiltrated the protesters and were planning to kill them. In the third, he was visibly shaken, thanking the protesters and promising reform "within one hundred days". Lastly, he implied the state would react violently and even torture journalists if they wanted to "overthrow" him and his regime, because he was "democratically elected". His accusations that the protesters were "Ba'athists" was answered with the most popular chant of last Friday: "Nouri al-Maliki is a liar." Other slogans asserted: "The people's oil is for the people not for the thieves"; "We want dignity, jobs and services"; "No to terrorism, no to Saddam's dictatorship, and no to the dictatorship of thieves"; "No to the occupation"; "We are not Ba'athists, repression is Ba'athist"; and an old favourite of many previous rallies, "Sunnis and Shia, this homeland we shall never sell". In Iraqi Kurdistan, where at least six were killed, protesters demanded that Kurdish leaders Barzani and Talbani must follow Mubarak. The Iraqi struggle for "dignity and freedom" is even more difficult than that of Libya's heroic people. It faces 50,000 US troops (plus tens of thousands of contracted mercenaries) and Iraqi forces numbering over 1.5 million. The indifference of the BBC and other media is conspicuous and hypocritical, particularly following the torture of four Iraqi journalists. However, inspired by the uprisings of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, Iraqis have embarked on a new phase in their struggle.
