A friend sent me the link below. At first I thought it had to be an
April Fool joke, but apparently The Shrub really IS that stupid!

What the article said, in part:

QUOTE:

Bush Prepares for Possible GPS Shutdown
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: December 15, 2004


Filed at 10:17 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has ordered plans for temporarily
disabling the U.S. network of global positioning satellites during a
national crisis to prevent terrorists from using the navigational
technology, the White House said Wednesday.

Any shutdown of the network inside the United States would come under
only the most remarkable circumstances, said a Bush administration
official who spoke to a small group of reporters at the White House on
condition of anonymity.

UNQUOTE

"The Shrub"...?!?!

"April Fool's Joke"...?!?!

Hans, you're an idiot or an Al-Queda supporter.

How do I know this?

Because ONLY an idiot or an Al-Queda supporter could suggest that
making it difficult for terrorists to use our own systems against us is
an "April Fool's Joke".

BTW...I correct my earlier statement about Slick Willy making the
GPS net available in "93 or 94"...that was when he initially suggested
it. It became effective in 2000. It was discussed in Flying magazine
as early and the late 80's.

None-the-less, the idea of being able to inhibit or completely
disable the system is STILL not new, and I for one hope they DO keep
the reigns on it! It was an error to let it loose in the first place.

Had to do with inhibiting high-accuracy commercial applications like
surveying and precison aircarft navigation AND the competition. The
Russians have their own GPS system and the Euros are developing yet
another one. Down the road the most accurate of the three systems is
where the traffic will go and there's big bucks at stake in that.

There are industries, including things as basic as grain farming which depend on
the current accuracy of the GPS system.

Some sheet-head with a bomb doesn't need GPS to find a tall building to target,
but many segments of our economy depend on it. Taking down GPS for that reason
is equivalent to taking down the world-wide-web because Tim McVeigh used it to
look up the address of the Federal Building in OKC.

But it is sort of interesting, since it's akin to shutting down radio
stations so they can't be beacons in times of war, and countries taking
down signs so invaders would have a bit more difficulty and lights being
kept low during WWII. In other words, there is precedence.

On the other hand, you're right, it would affect quite a bit at this
point. And unless there is all out war, one has to balance the danger
of something against the inconvenience.

A strange thing in this whole new range war is something that is a

That is the propensity for people who think that while it is an okay

And yet it is some sort of crime to refer to the present one as "shrub".

While I do not call either one by those pejorative, it is hard to not

brewing that any disagreement equals treason.

I guess what was once a priv is now our "rights!"

Protecting America is not stupid nor an April Fools joke. Hans and
Kell may want the terrs to use guidance sytems to harm America, but I'm
with Bush on this.

And though "selective availability" was initially turned off for the
Gulf War, it remained off and in 2000, Slick Willy commanded it to stay
off. They can encrypt it also.

Meanwhile, the Euro is building a compatible fleet of satellites that
the terrs can use in the absence of the USAF system.

Bill Clinton is/was a documented liar. Whatever good things he DID do
will be forever tainted by semen stains on dresses and videotape of a
then-sitting president blatantly lying during a sworn deposition.

Bill Clinton had EIGHT years in which to take action to prevent an act the
likes of "9/11", yet he did not. He had more than adequate evidence that they
(Al-Queda) could strike with effective force on the FIRST WTC attack.

While I do not call either one by those pejorative, it is hard to not

Not treason, Mike.

A matter of effective expression.

Hans started this off with a snide refrence to a sitting President and
further made ludicrous suggestions that would, on the face of it, demonstrate
that he has pro Al-Queda sympathies.

It was idiotic.

Hey Pubs!! Now is the time to revive the Sedition Acts. This is your

In our reasonable defense, there can be no gray area, Mike. We either
take steps (or have plans in place) to defend and protect ourselves, or we
don't.

Hans doesn't favor our reasonable defense. He expressed THAT rather
clearly.

Back in 1999 when Bill Clinton WAS a sitting president, and when he WAS

....."Is the entire White House guilty of immoral conduct because Slick Willy got
lubed in the Oval Office?", and

....."you KNOW it had to happen with Slick Willy at the helm)", and

....."Slick Willy's fundraising club has made great hay out of "spectrum

Willy, you have to wonder."

How? It's a nickname. If President Clinton can be called "Slick Willy", then
President Bush II can be called "Shrub". Or "W".

One of the most important freedoms we enjoy is the freedom to publicly
criticize and disagree with public officials, including the president.

Remember too that *he* works for and answers to *us*, not the other way around.


This nation has bandied-about it's "Don't Tread On Me" attitude

What *are* you talking about?

Did this nation "tuck tail and run" from Korea? Vietnam? Western Europe?
Kuwait?

We finally have a President who slapped back.


Did he slap the right people?

There is currently *no* evidence that the SH regime had anything to do with any
terror attacks. Nor is there any evidence of "weapons of mass destruction" in
that country.

Afghanistan is a different story. Yet the masterminds of the 911 attacks were
allowed to escape from that country, by the very administration you admire so
much.

The USA has spent over 1000 servicepeople's lives, many more thousands of their
injuries, and hundreds of billions of dollars to overthrow and capture SH. Now
that country is a mess, with an estimated 100,000 dead from the war and its
aftermath. And ol' SH hasn't been formally charged with anything.

Now everyone is upset that
he actaully DID what he said he would do.


No. People are upset that the results aren't what they were promised. The
mission hasn't yet been accomplished, regardless of what some banner says.

If it's OK to call President Clinton "Slick Willy", then it's also OK to
call President Bush "the shrub".


And that's a fact.

"April Fool's Joke"...?!?!


Hans, you're an idiot or an Al-Queda supporter.

and obvious disdain for a

It says he disagrees with the policy. Nothing more.

Shutting down GPS may cause more problems than it solves. That's a fact.

His allegedly well-educated

Why was it a mistake?

Has any terror attack used the increased accuracy of GPS? Or has the increased
accuracy been used by millions of various users ranging from boaters to
surveyors as an easier, cheaper way to know where they are?

Perhaps we should ground all nongovernment aircraft bigger than a certain size,
so that a 911 style attack could never be repeated. We could also outlaw
certain fertilizers and the rental of trucks bigger than a pickup, to avoid
another Oklahoma City.

Steve,

If a gas station owner decides to protect himself against a potential robber
by hooking dynamite up to his gas pumps, I might consider the idea not to be
a particularly sound one.

I think Hans is pointing out that turning off GPS might not be the best idea
in the world.

I believe that option was being looked at as a last resort. I doubt that
would be used for terrorists. In case no one noticed, Russia is building up
ICBMs designed to defeat any anti-ballistic missiles the U.S. puts on-line.
You should realize that we have been invading countries with missiles that
can contain a nuclear warhead. Other countries (including Russia) are not
missing that fact. Should satellites or radar reveal a *lot* of launches,
it just might be a good idea to turn off the GPS. It might not save
Washington, but it would probably save Bush's bunker. Other than that, the
idea of turning off GPS does not strike me as particularly sound.

Pope Bush ... er, excuse me, President Bush, has not exactly enamoured
himself nor the United States to most of the civilized (or less civilized)
world. Bush certainly is not an idiot; he's got a lot of folks convinced
that he is right. I find it fascinating that blame for the deficit seems to
be pointing everywhere except where it belongs - right at the White House.

I also love how he lauds the men and women of the U.S. military - and both
federal funding for the V.A. drop every year. So, your boy in the White
House says one thing and then does another.

Actions speak louder than words.

counter that...We'll come up with a new "stealth" technology, then they'll copy
it, etc, etc etc.....

You should realize that we have been invading countries with missiles that
can contain a nuclear warhead. Other countries (including Russia) are not
missing that fact. Should satellites or radar reveal a *lot* of launches,
it just might be a good idea to turn off the GPS. It might not save
Washington, but it would probably save Bush's bunker. Other than that, the
idea of turning off GPS does not strike me as particularly sound.


In the matter of a military first strike by Russia or any other soverign
nation, no, GPS probably wouldn't matter.

Pope Bush ... er, excuse me, President Bush, has not exactly enamoured
himself nor the United States to most of the civilized (or less civilized)
world. Bush certainly is not an idiot; he's got a lot of folks convinced
that he is right. I find it fascinating that blame for the deficit seems to
be pointing everywhere except where it belongs - right at the White House.


You...me...Joe Average Citizen is responsible for the deficit, Jim.

We buy the Nissan's, Kia's, and cheap clothes at Wal-Mart.

We buy the DVD players manufactured in China or Korea, the shoes made in
Malaysia, and the furniture from Denmark.

Wanna stop a lot of the "deficit"...??? Stop the export of welfare money
to 3rd world countries who divert the monies from food to weapons...Stop buying
the above mentioned items in favor of higher priced American made items...

I also love how he lauds the men and women of the U.S. military - and both
federal funding for the V.A. drop every year. So, your boy in the White
House says one thing and then does another.


"My boy" is not the one solely responsible for that, Jim. A review of
federal spending on benefit programs going back 3 decades will show otherwise.
They were cutting VA funds before I made Sergeant in 77...

Actions speak louder than words.


Yes they do.

Bill Clinton said he did not have sex with that woman and that he'd track
down Osama bin Laden and others responsible for the WTC and USS Cole bombings.

He lied. The price was even more American lives lost due to
camel-fornicationg terrorists, and a complete humiliation of the Office of the
Presidency.

G W Bush said that Al-Queda was going to pay a price for it's treatchery
in NYC.

He kept his word. Yes, American lives have been lost in combat, but the
one thing the "rest" of the world does NOT do anymore is doubt the word of the
American President if he says he's going to do something, whether they like
what he's saying or not.

So you are quite right...Actions DO speak louder than words. I can
tolerate G W stating his case, making a decison, and then taking the heat for
mistakes. Bill Clinton is STILL lying about Monica Lewinsky and every other
controversy he got himself into in the White House despite evidence to the
contrary...

And to top it off, he AND his wife, now Senator from New York, tried to
make off with thousands of dollars of property from the White House when they
left and were forced to return it. And what is she doing now...?!?! "Testing
the waters" for a run at the White House herself.

From another thread, Hans made
the most assinine statement:


......Now, do you really honestly think, that anyone
here really gives a flying 14.313 radio**** about
your lunatic rantings ?

None-the-less, the idea of being able to inhibit or completely
disable the system is STILL not new, and I for one hope they DO keep
the reigns on it! It was an error to let it loose in the first place.
Steve, K4YZ


Not as big as the error letting you out
of your straight jacket, Why don't you
go over to The Legion and visit all those
nice brown bottles sittin on ice under the
table? (..and afterwards be sure to take the
long route home behind the wheel...hick! hick!)

If a gas station owner decides to protect himself against a potential

I think Hans is pointing out that turning off GPS might not be the best

in the world.


Jim, I am as likely to use an analogy as anyone else, but I'm having

a
real hard time following your gas pumps-dynamite one....

I believe that option was being looked at as a last resort. I doubt that
would be used for terrorists.


Of course it was a "last resort". Although they didn't use those

words in
the article, I thought it pretty well stated that this was NOT a "first

line"
option.

Hans' attempt to ridicule the President made it sound as if President

Bush
was ready to throw the switch at any moment.

In case no one noticed, Russia is building up
ICBMs designed to defeat any anti-ballistic missiles the U.S. puts

on-line.

Hello, Steve


I hope she wins.

Anything to share the grief. The only way we could get rid of governor
Rockefeller was when he became vice president after Spiro Agnew got caught
up with problems (after Tricky Dicky got caught up with his own problems
LOL).

So, you can have her ....

Maybe the USA needs to hold a "Have to get along without GPS Day!" It
would be nice if it were simultaneous with our Independance Day.
Remind the moochers of the world of the benefits they accept so freely.

Started laughing my butt off, but then suddenly stopped and realized that
it's really a pretty danged good idea!

And they need to give just one hour's notice. (There are very bonafide
safety issues to consider...).

Maybe I'll go find an official Air Force suggestion form (Form 1000?)
and send it in the right way.

Yeh, we can make it an annual event, post it in the NOTAMS, etc. Give
the world another reason to hate us.

If you're short of those forms, I have almost a full roll of them hanging on the
wall in the throne room.

Hans says: "If you're short of those forms, I have almost a full roll

Just like a drunken sailor to wipe with the wrong form.

Air Force Form One comes on a roll, with each form separated from the
next by a perforation.

Air Force Form 1000 is a stand-alone form, no carbon copy, no
perforations.

BOL, bb
