Hrm a 120mm cannon is only about 4 inches and its not even autoloading.  So they wouldn't outgun a frigate. They could probably take out one of our coast guard cutters with those. If they got some moderate freighters or sampans and had the tank strapped onto the deck they'd make a good commerce raider. Or they could use 33 tanks to pwn dowtown Mogadishu.

Huh? Glad said he'd promote Obama right or wrong and he's a foriegner

Not goinna make a difference eh?

So you figure Obama lost

I turned on the radio in the middle of that Iran exchange. Obama uh cant shut ah up and I gotta gotta make this point keeps interrupting McCain to say no I didnt I said it first and better and uh er uh.

where'd you find that?

"Next, Couric asked about the $700 billion government bailout of bad debt - and whether she supports it.

Palin: I'm all about the position that America is in and that we have to look at a $700 billion bailout. And as Sen. McCain has said unless this nearly trillion dollar bailout is what it may end up to be, unless there are amendments in Paulson's proposal, really I don't believe that Americans are going to support this and we will not support this. The interesting thing in the last couple of days that I have seen is that Americans are waiting to see what John McCain will do on this proposal. They're not waiting to see what Barack Obama is going to do. Is he going to do this and see what way the political wind's blowing? They're waiting to see if John McCain will be able to see these amendments implemented in Paulson's proposal.

Couric: Why do you say that? Why are they waiting for John McCain and not Barack Obama?

Palin: He's got the track record of the leadership qualities and the pragmatism that's needed at a crisis time like this.

Couric: But polls have shown that Sen. Obama has actually gotten a boost as a result of this latest crisis, with more people feeling that he can handle the situation better than John McCain.

Palin: I'm not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who's more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who's actually done it?

Couric: If this doesn't pass, do you think there's a risk of another Great Depression?

Palin: Unfortunately, that is the road that America may find itself on. Not necessarily this, as it's been proposed, has to pass or we're going to find ourselves in another Great Depression. But, there has got to be action - bipartisan effort - Congress not pointing fingers at one another but finding the solution to this, taking action, and being serious about the reforms on Wall Street that are needed.

Couric: Would you support a moratorium on foreclosures to help average Americans keep their homes?

Palin: That's something that John McCain and I have both been discussing - whether that ... is part of the solution or not. You know, it's going to be a multi-faceted solution that has to be found here.

Couric: So you haven't decided whether you'll support it or not?

Palin: I have not.

Couric: What are the pros and cons of it do you think?

Palin: Oh, well, some decisions that have been made poorly should not be rewarded, of course.

Couric: By consumers, you're saying?

Palin: Consumers - and those who were predator lenders also. That's, you know, that has to be considered also. But again, it's got to be a comprehensive, long-term solution found ... for this problem that America is facing today. As I say, we are getting into crisis mode here.

just asking because CBS doesn't seen to have a whole transcript. 

When somebody got the transcript of the Gibson interview they found he edited heavily.

Obama lied!

Parker, who praised McCain's "keen judgment" for picking Palin earlier this month and wrote the Alaska governor is a "perfect storm of God, Mom and apple pie," now says Palin should step down from the ticket.

McCain will go.  I guess we should blame The Country, because The Country told McCain on Wednesday to call off Friday's debate and negotiate the deal, and then presumably The Country told McCain to get his ass on stage tonight and debate.  The Country is being irresponsible to John McCain and taking advantage of his pledge to put The Country first.  Although I guess that makes McCain an enabler.

I would with my impression of Cary Grant singing "My dingaling"

A friend's coworker was a contestant and got through the first two days, he said she got airtime because she happpened to be a dwarf with a great voice, but they make you audition with songs THEY choose and you get 8 hours to learn them
