^^^ Smart ass :).

Cool pics, though, can't say I've ever seen a sandstorm since I've never left rainy B.C. Wouldn't want to be there, though.

[wikid]

[Draven GD]

they are great pics, awe inspireing in a devistateing powerful way. but what kind of conditions are our troops in, and are the locals prepaired for this?


i really dont know how common this is. is this as huge as i think... doesnt seem like it from the responces in the thread.


((where does all that sand end up going anyway?))

^YOU are a fucking idiot!

Do you not _read_, or do you just not know how to?

The answers to 2 of your questions are in the captions of the pics.

And there _aren't_ any of "our" troops there (assuming you're a typically ignorant, CNN-watching Canadian).

Your last question nails your coffin closed!

Frosty
(...are you still breathing?...)

DUDE

that looks like the thing in the mummy

[wum]

i hate getting sand in my food

[Draven GD]

"our" troops or anyone else as in anyone over there fighting for some f ck ng polotions check book. american, canadian, peace corps, un, religous aid. there are many aid workers and millitary pawns over there. and a sand storm doesnt just drop to the ground after one gust. many surrounding areas must have felt some effect of it as well.
and no, i didnt read the bottom, sorry, i missed that. i have gone back and read what it had to say. im going to check out what www.GNN.tv has to say about this. i respect there reporting.

((this was a joke, bear with me, im like a bizzare Canadain-English humor collision :P ))

GNN.tv doesnt have anything yet. but everyone go there and learn what isnt being fed to you by govt controlled media.

Haha, look at the fat kid on the mainpage

i was just reading about the second Chernobyl. funny how poor our craftmaship is even on something like this. though i would hope that since they know about the problem that they will have time to do something about it............... wait, i dont know how Bush will profit from that, mabey they wont.
