Bombs.

Had a friend who was EOD, he was a moron, but I guess he knew his stuff since he was a rather young gunny.

He basicaly said everything people know about bombs is wrong, almost every modern explosive, requires a det cap, otherwise they might blow up on their own.  Even the amfoll bombs that are the most common form and easiest to create require an initial detonation, like a primer cap or some other highly “volatile” actually “explosive” force to initiate detonation.

 So, if you want to “defuse” a bomb?  remove the caps, and remove the triggers, don’t get dental tools don’t get anything else, just grab the caps and yank those effers out, and run the hell away.  If you can recognize the trigger, grab the trigger and run away.

 Though generaly, the way you handle unexploded ordinance, is to get everyone the hell out of the way, and have someone with a high rifle quall and shoot it with an incendiary round, or you set up a strip of a controlled explosive, and det it from a distance.

Bomb makers aren’t macguyver, they are more like creative dorks.

I believe it, he wasn’t a ninja, but you know he did it.

( I mention macguyver cuz there was an episode where only Macguyver was as qualified as a bomb disposal person as the person who created the bomb, and one of the students of the bomb maker created one of these complicated “vacuum seal” chamber on a destroyer or something like that, where the “student” vaccummed out some purple powder, only to change the balance of the rube goldbergian bomb that he was trying to defuse, when he probably could have just pulled the actual explosive out of the contained chamber, I’m just saying)

Update: CURSES!!  sorry about that, I’m just saying that all of this “Highly sophisticated” stuff we have been hearing about for years is generaly not really highly sophisticated, if it were, the bombers could actually kill someone they were aiming for.   Sorry about that.

Fred!

Got the Video Via Allah, All thanks be to Allah.

 Allah looks at the video and see’s an arrogance with his quote, “I like how he cracks himself up with the line about the $50 million he’s saved.”

Well, actually, I see someone who is somewhat smuggly confident about his unwillingness to play the media’s game, by well, manipulating the media’s game.

Another thing I take away from the video is that fred is recieving numerous rapid fire questions and actually answering them.  For me, this says that Fred! is prepared for all the rapid fire question he’s recieved, and the incompetance of the individuals voicing the questions to actually ask about real and currently valid policies that Fred! must address as president.   All of the rapid fires, that Fred! accepted (all of them) and answered he did so in a way that actually made me like him more, and hate the retards who were asking the questions more.

Fred!  I like him, but I still want to know more, but based on this clearly candid vid of reporters asking “the important questions,” means that the reporters don’t know what the “important questions” are.

I really saw nothing wrong with these exchanges, he was in control, he was confindent, he was serious, and he didn’t flag from the challenge.

I don’t know what you have to be thinking to think that this was a clip that bode ill for Fred!

Another great moment in tolerant “progressive” history.

In another example of the “free speech for me, but not for thee” doctrine of the tolerant left, some “progressive” nutball stole the microphone of a Fox News reporter during live coverage of the iPhone release.

Appropriate beat down of gooyf leftie commences. Followed by his arrest.

Nut steals Fox News reporter’s microphone on camera

BDS sufferers can now whine to their shrink about their latest malady — Fox Derangment Syndrome.

Of course, this happens the same week the Pelosi bunch are trying to reanimate the dinosaur known as the Fairness Doctrine.

It’s drives the lefties nuts that America won’t voluntarily get in line to listen to their pablum — the death of Air America, Olby’s incredibly terrible ratings. So, they will try to force it down our throats in the one way they know best — Big Goverment!

Too bad it won’t work.

Ever.
