Well technically the Fusion based atmospheric processor went critical after the coolant system was damaged by the crash of the dropship after the initial engagement (though the Smart rifle fire during the fight may have caused some damage too).

But whatever eh.

No, never heard of it.

But the special edition with the auto cannons is really good. Not that I know.

"The Excocet missle is no joke, kids..

Actually, I see the Stark as an example of the *failure* of the Exocet missile.

No, Iran would be a big heap of ugly trouble for reasons that have nothing to do with Iran's military prowess. With air superiority, naval superiority, and land superiority, we'd still suffer huge casualties and inspire many generations of future terrorists.

Regarding the November 2001 Bin Laden video (in Afghanistan??) (including a complete transcript): http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Dec2001/d20011213ubl.pdf

A transcript of the October 2004 Bin Laden tape (where he also claims responsibility):
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/29/bin.laden.transcript/

A transcript of the May 2006 Bin Laden tape (where he also claims responsibility): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12939961/

A transcript of the February 2003 Bin Laden tape where he talks about the bombing at Tora Bora, saying: "No second passed without aircrafts passing over our heads day and night" -- thereby also indicating (by the use of first person plural) that he was present in Afghanistan: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1429201

So, according to Bin Laden's own words, he was responsible for 9-11 and he was in Afghanistan.

Wait - history class is good for something?! Well, I did know the fellow it talked about, so, that's good.

Nevertheless, nice writing.
