Question marks probably as result of M$ smart quote- probably as result of someone exporting butchered HTML from M$ Word.

Nevermind, original looks fine. Maybe your charset is wrong. Try changing to ISO-8859-1 or something, instead of windows-[insert whatever number it is].

Well, if this is such a bad thing, why is it not being reported widely by
the media here?

Yes bulldozing is happening. Is clearing away trees from side of road to open up fields of fire to reduce risk of ambush. Most of ground cleared is waste but some not. All those who lose trees or crops are receving compensation very generous.
This is standard practice where convoys are being ambushed.

Yes, that's what I heard as well. Except that I heard farmers were having a helluva time getting compensation for their trees and crops.

They'd still have to go through some kind of governmental agency, and you know what that's like. It's not as if the soldiers are going to be carrying wads of cash on them to compensate the farmers on the spot. They're going to say something like "uhhhh, go see somebody in Baghdad".MKSheppard wrote:*sighs* Someone over there needs to learn that buttonholing a CNN journalist and telling him the troubles you're having will solve all your legalDarth Wong wrote:Yes, that's what I heard as well.

Is it also standard practice to blare jazz over a loudspeaker while simultaneously informing the people whose trees you're destroying that they're being punished for not turning over knowledge they may or may not have? If these people are being generously compensated, why has one guy started a petition asking for it?MKSheppard wrote:Well, if this is such a bad thing, why is it not being reported widely by the media here?

The Americans may indeed have some system for getting compensation. The problem is that it probably involves government forms, bureaucracy, the farmer visiting the necessary agencies on his own, and of course, no one is going to inform the farmer how to go about doing any of this, or even that it's available. The quantities might also be a joke; people have received bullshit compensation for having their lands seized by the government even in America.

Funny thing in just about ALL of the above situations it was the Aussies doing all the work while you sent a *token* presence to steal the f*#(ing beer while our backs were turned.

True, true. Of course, if Australia had as remotely interesting history, fascinating military-industrial complex, or impact on world affairs as Russia, My username and interests might be quite different.

Damn it, I've why can't I be liberated from my job via bulldozer? Wait a second, I like not starving to death in poverty. . .
Shit like this is just unnacceptable. How are our future presidents supposed to freely attack whoever they want at any given time if Jr. takes away their only excuse? Goodbye moral high ground, hello Mongol tactics. I can't wait until we bust out the salt when we leave.
