Jake B.

I saw your picture on the Net. Is it you? Well, then you are one ugly motherfucker. Lick my asswhole, you sephilitic moron.

DS & LASER....Before you make false assumptions best that you both look into rational behind a story. This posting was strickly for entertainment purposes. It was never said that I authored it but I did change some things to fit the historical postings, and attitudes of Jake B. Maybe you should try and be as creative. So blow it out your ear you two idiot transexuals.

DS & LASER...And furthermore, go ahead an e-mail my IP to Dan, I'm sure he would find the additional exposure as entertaining as some of us on this board did. And you can be assured that I will continue being as creative as I can in my postings in intertwining existing stories with situations on this board. That's a promise.

Russia today is in its 10th year of dealing with a separatist rebellion in Chechnya. An entire generation of Russian political and military leaders has matured. President-elect Vladimir Putin was an obscure KGB officer serving as a spy in Germany in 1991 when the trouble in Chechnya first began. Still, it is clear that a decade of war, confrontation and negotiations with Chechen warlords have not taught anyone in the Kremlin anything good.

Last fall, when Russian troops marched on Grozny again, Putin told the nation that this time it would be done right: The enemy would be defeated, casualties would be low, the war would be short, and the Chechens themselves, not the Russians, would fight the rebels and chase them out of villages. It actually seemed at times that Richard Nixon was back, talking of "Vietnamization of the war" (a notion that the Vietnamese would fight Vietnamese, while the U.S. soldiers would go home). But this time the conflict was in the Caucasus, and it was Beslan Gantamirov leading a pro-Russian proxy force against the guerrillas.

Putin's scheme did not work. Official Russian casualties of dead and wounded are today nearing 10,000. At night, Russian troops, besieged in their dugouts, cannot know who is shooting at them today. Gantamirov's "militia," or "regular" rebels?

And there seems to be no end in sight. Russian troops officially have occupied all of Chechnya's territory, but, as happened once before in 1995-96, occupation does not mean victory. On the contrary, Chechnya has turned into a quagmire, with guerrilla attacks becoming even more efficient and deadly; casualties continue to mount.

So if official casualty figure is more than 10000, and since Russians consistently lie about their losses at least 3-to-1, one can confidently predict a Russian loss of 30000 (dead or wounded).

No wonder we are hearing more and more about a negotiated end to this war.

Don't forget, Russia's losses were much lower at the end of the corresponding period during the previous war.

If the sons of Russian elite were fighting in Chechnia, I am sure the war was already over. Unfortunately peasants' sons are not important, they are nothing and nobody. Poor souls!!!

LAUGH AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU...CRY AND YOU CRY ALONE.

My inspiration for the day.

Hey when this board became an investment board? Did I miss something?

I find people talking about how much money they are making (or have) very funny. Have you ever seen people with indecent amounts of money talking about their money? They don't, for real good reasons. Think about it.

And anybody who is bragging about their money, they are just little kids, or poor idiots, trying to impress others. Ha, ha, ha, wasn't funny.

HM, first time I read something very sensible, and meaningful from you. That also gave me a little insight of you. We are sometimes forgetting that there is a real person behind that keyboard. No joke, you touched my heart. All the best to you in whatever you are up to.
