Marines figure out the best ways to fight and to train for combat

Welcome to Eagle Range, the latest in “train-as-you-fight” forward thinking in the forward-deployed combat zone. Marines here now have a range complex that rivals some of the best at stateside Marine bases. It’s designed to shoot everything Marines bring to bear against insurgents in the fight on terror and to keep Marines dinging targets out to 1,000 meters. And there’s still room to grow.

In Iraq’s Camp Fallujah Marines will get improved additional tanning

“People were out here for five months and never firing,” said Bridgman, a 43-year-old from Garden City, Kan. “We wanted something to sustain our skills.”
So Bridgman and Keith got to work.
“We started out with functionality and started adding to it,” Keith said. “We dragged tank hulls out there and then started building some of the shorter ranges.”

Marines were shooting too many rounds without looking to see how many bad guys they hit. This will allow them to train to save rounds while still hitting the bad guys.

The destruction of the Democrat party is coming. Everyone but the blind Democrat party saw this coming.

CONNECTICUT - Sen. Joseph Lieberman, running as an independent, has a 53 percent to 33 percent lead on Democratic anti-war challenger Ned Lamont. Lieberman, a three-term Democratic incumbent, lost the party primary in August after Lamont attacked his support for the Iraq war.

The question is; how fast will it implode? and what can I do to help it along the way?

Earth is pretty big

But bit that big against Jupiter

Even Jupiter is small compared to the Sun

I thought this was enlightening.

It’s a big universe(s). Stars bigger than the sun!

So the question is, how big do you feel today?

But it is a good sign to see the deficit dropping. 

Budget Deficit Drops to $250 Billion

The federal budget estimate for the fiscal year just completed dropped to $250 billion, congressional estimators said Friday, as the economy continues to fuel impressive tax revenues.

The Congressional Budget Office’s latest estimate is $10 billion below CBO predictions issued in August and well below a July White House prediction of $296 billion.

The improving deficit picture _ Bush predicted a $423 billion deficit in his February budget _ has been driven by better-than-expected tax receipts, especially from corporate profits, CBO said.

I bet the left will complain that this is an election timing ploy and is totally political motivated and has nothing to do with the economy.
