    There has got to be some pissed off team owners. That is a lot ot time, effert and huge $$$$ preparing a team, support and vehicle for nothing!
    hey should have loaded up the big trucks with granade launchers, missle launchers and maybe a few front, side and rear claymores and let them have a field day on the entire course...or they could have just had a dozen or so A-10's fly some support missions over the course!

    Problem solved!
    Once you start limiting your freedoms, ending recreational activities, etc. you have given in & the terrorists have won. We are treated like crap in our airports. Our service men & women are fighting for safety and freedom in lands that will whip you, chop off body parts, or worse for offending thier delicate sensibilities and ancient backwards beliefs...
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Yeah, A10 Warthog cover would be sweet! But in reality terrorism usually wins without determined and extreme response, and this is just another case of its global impact. We were terrorists once, just ask the British, and it won us a nation. Curious to see what it wins the current group.

    It's gonna win them a glow that my grandchildren will read by at night. We won't need exploratory drilling.....we'll look down thru the glass, and see where the oil is! Screw them! I'm tired of this crap! Remove just the top three major metropolitan areas in each of say... the top six p.i.a. dusthole countries. None could survive such a strike. All you gotta do then, is wait for the rest to starve. I do not believe in limited warfare. You want some??? It's on!!

    Unfortunately we haven't done it that way since 41 - 45 when the military was given an objective and allowed to achieve it. They've been hamstrung ever since. Personally we should close-up shop overseas, bring 'em all home and put 'em to use securing the borders airtight and let the rest of the world drown in the black stuff while we grow our own fuel like we did a century ago. If we bankrupt the oil cartels by not buying the stuff they lose most of their effectiveness, but as it stands right now each and every American that buys petroleum products is the biggest supporter of terrorism. Then again it's pretty much the "American way" anymore to fund both sides of a fight, just ask the Kurds.

    All those goodies, would've made you a target. You bring A-10 cover, and the race is on!

    Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    It just takes extreme sports to another level. I picture the scene from Star Wars where the sandpeople are taking pot shots at the pods in the pod race.



    I am ALL for it.... as long as the navigator can shoot back that is.

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away I was with 5th Group. Now I just hang with my surviving A Team...Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Ezra Brooks, Hiram Walker and other Kentucky Gentlemen and Wild Turkeys!

    Just give peace a chance

    C'mon guys I am sure if we just follow the Democrat Party Plan of talking to these peoplt they would understand violence is wrong. They could get together at the beginning of the race with the competitors hold hands in a circle and sing a few choruses of Kumbaya and all the worlds problems would go away, there would be no more violence, starvation, or even pollution. To get it started at noon central time I want all our members to stop what they are doing, do some meditation then send all your psychic energy out into the world and to these terrorists with the message they can all kiss my ***.
