Rember this entry when Giuilani so frankly states "It will happen again."

 

Bush and Cheney hijacked this country's military to carry out an oil war in Iraq. It's just that simple. While there, they thought they'd help out the Sunnis throughout Arabia and do what they could to annihilate the Shi'ites in the region and pick a fight with Iran.

The Shi'ites have been radicalized for decades because the lineage to their Holy Men has been grossly assaulted and damaged by the Sunnis that would like to seem them all dead.

The Shi'ite minority in Islam needs our promise to restore their dignity and a nation(s) of their own to insure their survival and perhaps that will return civility to their people.

The Sunnis need to behave while stopping the radical Islamists that plague them and the West.

Americans need to be asking themselves, what the USA military is doing in Iraq.

Photographer states :: THE SNOW WAS FLYING HORIZONTAL TODAY.HOWEVER,IT DID NOT SEEM TO BOTHER THESE GUYS.

There are a lot of livestock herds buried under snow. When the melt comes it's going to be a mess. More than likely to burn them where they are is a likely disposal of the bodies.

Antarctica

February 19, 2007

Antarctica is still very hot. The winds (click on) are still very dyamic EXCEPT where the images reveal 9AM and 9PM. It would appear to be the same image at both times. The humidity (click on) is high over the entire continent. Eastern Antarctica is less humid than WAIS, but, that is no surprise, now is it. There are far more areas of ice formations that touch a warming ocean.

The Continent is growing colder incrementally. There are far temperate areas and far less above freezing.

Vostok is -48 C and the coldest with 32% humidity at 3240 meters elevation. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station at 2830 meters elevation is -44 C. The warmest is Base Esperanza at 1e meters elevation with a temperature of 4C and 54% humidity. The table (click on).

The link to Scott Base is down.

And after converting Old Blogger to New Blogger it has reverted back to Old Blogger. The only thing different is the 'sign in.'

It's just amazing the many 'glitches' I run into in a given week.
