Good luck Mike!

I for one as a Conservative did not support the invasion of Iraq. My position was that Hussein was more useful in place in keeping the various entities from each others throats and avoiding civil war. We many not have approved of his tactics in doing so but they were effective. My position was that we could win a war against Iraq; it was the peace that would prove a difficult task.
Unfortunately much of this is painfully apparent today with Iraq in a near civil war situation. Bombing and murders occur on almost a daily basis.
As an aside: Contrary to what the Liberals have maintained the Iraqis did have weapons of mass destruction at least in the form of chemicals. These are documented to have been used against the Kurds. Much of the material was moved into Syria before the invasions and have been used against the populace by that regime.
I suspect it's going to take another "strongman" to get that Country back under control again.

Civil unrest is one issue, but a quick look at a map tells me it's a strategic location for a military base. There were times when the US had to request fly over permissions and basically announce any surveillance or other activity. One example, there's little doubt in my mind that the success of the current drone program has to do with secrecy and reaction time. We've parked on the DMZ for some sixty years, it might be thought that we have an interest in monitoring the middle east.

Anyway, go get 'em Mike. Running four dogs, sounds like you're gonna be busy.

Really? It sure looks embellished to me. King's organization, the Nova Scotia Landowner's and Forest Fibre Producer's Association is but one of ten receiving the Sustainable Standard-Setter Award. The Lifetime Acheivement Award is going to Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever.

I never knew there was a Nobel Prize for Small Potatoes. More resume inflation from the Burger King. Too bad they don't give a Nobel Prize for Bullshit!

Dissent among the ranks...?

nca and craig, the dimensions of Bunkerville ignorance reminds of the GOP: all in for the same thing but trying to kill each other in the process. And here's the embellishment omitted earlier:

"Dear Mr. Brown:

In appreciation of Nova Scotia Landowners and Forest Fiber Producers Association�s (NSLFFPA) commitment to sustainability, it is with pleasure that the board of directors and I invite the company to be recognized with the Sustainable Standard-Setter award at the Rainforest Alliance annual gala taking place on May 7, 2014 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

The Sustainable Standard-Setter award is our opportunity to provide global recognition to industry champions who have the vision to make sustainability a priority and the dynamism to make it a reality. NSLFFPA has been a critical part of this journey we have undertaken to build a more sustainable and equitable future. Sustainable forest management has long been a priority within the association, and its leadership in promoting the FSC in Nova Scotia has made a tremendous impact in the province. Its continued success protecting both the environment and the interests of woodlot owners has made the NSLFFPA a sterling example for the industry. With these outstanding achievements and more, I can think of no better time than now to recognize NSLFFPA with the Sustainable Standard-Setter award, for its leadership in sustainable business practices.

"Past honorees embody a distinguished group including HRH The Prince of Wales, Walter Cronkite, Blommer Chocolate Company, Olam International Ltd., Kraft Foods Inc., AMResorts, Mars, Incorporated, Unilever-Lipton Tea and Domtar among many others. We are proud to announce next year�s confirmed honorees include Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, Livia Firth, Creative Director of Eco Age Limited/The Green Carpet Challenge and C.F. Martin & Co., Inc. The 2014 gala program will include a brief presentation of the prestigious Sustainable Standard- Setter and Lifetime Achievement awards, a silent auction, a formal dinner and live entertainment."

There is only one RA sustainability award given globally annually to a community-backed organization.

Congratulations and do take some time to enjoy the museum on your trip. The NY Natural history museum and the British Museum are two of my favorites.

Thank you. Nancy and I love New York.

Rainforest Alliance 2014 Sustainable Standard Setter Awards... click on the Rainforest Alliance link above and count 'em... there's ten total. One of them goes to NSLFFPA of which King is a co-coordinator. I wonder if the other co-coordinator is embellishing and tooting his own horn?

But more interesting is the rest of the story from the rival Nova Scotia Woodlot Owners and Operators Association which does not see widespread clearcutting and taking saplings as small as 1 1/2" in diameter to feed a 60 megawatt biomass power plant at the New Page Pulp Mill as environmentally responsible, "FSC certification or not." Read about what amounts to a unionized effort to do short rotation clear-cutting with a huge carbon footprint. There's worse slash and burn type forestry practices going on, but this doesn't sound very sustainable and sure isn't returning the Nova Scotia forests to Acadian pre-European old growth timberlands. But hey, even an old communist needs to make a living!

Congratulations on your embellishment, oops, I mean award King. Since you're are now making lame efforts to prove me wrong, maybe you'll show us what you personally have done to advance gun rights in your own country instead of working to screw up ours. Hope you didn't hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back once again. Maybe you can get some more anti-Second Amendment pointers from ex-Mayor Bloomberg while you're in New York.

actually Bloomberg is gone,there is even a worse liberal in charge de blasio- they Hate him there but King will be right in his element.
