It will not change anything - the violence and daily killings in Iraq will continue unabated and more American soldiers will die.

Yes they will, but if you do a little bit of research, California is a far more dangerous place to live, according to crime rates vs. war related things than Iraq is, but you never hear about it.

 

Just food for thought.

few people know that there's a law in iraq that states a person over the age of 70 cannot be sentenced to death.... april 28th he was going to turn 70. so the rush was on to have the sentence carried out prior to that date

Correct. If we were still over there in 20 years, it would be the same. Civil War or not, were still targets.

 

IMO we have better things to spend 2 billion dollars a week on.

I agree. Take that money and give it back to the people who earned it.

Just gotta realize in 70 years..theres still gonna be terrorists in Iraq. Theres terrorists all over the world, always will be. I dont see how us having troops in Iraq is keeping them off our turf. Terrorists can get into America with ease, occupying Iraq isnt gonna stop anything.

So I guess we should all crawl in a hole, think happy thoughts and everything will be alright? Dictatorist regimes harbor and promote terrorism, the Al-qaeda style and the suppression of their own peoples voices. The spread of democracy across the world decreases the strength of terrorism by limiting their operations; and sure terrorist live here but they have to work in secret unlike places like Iran and Palestine where they can and are encouraged to openly discuss operations.

I'm glad you didn't say that in German, Japanese or Italian.

you stole my thunder...Hussein only gassed about 10,000 kurds before we stopped with the appeasement. I'm curious where that line of thinking will get us with N Korea and Iran?

I can't believe what some of these posts are saying.

 

 

 

Saddam Hussein was a significant speed-bump on the road towards making things right in Iraq. Now, that speed bump is gone.

 

True, it's not likely to make a drastic overnight change for our Men and Women of service fighting over there. But it should help them in the long run.

 

 

 

One of the most Rotten Sons of b*tches of our time is gone. Can't we celebrate it?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
