$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('lowem', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Geology_Guy', 'I') think they got the robot's name wrong- shouldn't they be called "Terminators"?
Can also, different movie. But first, they must build SkyNet, lol
*SPOILER ALERT*
You might know this already & I might not have it totally correct, but....
Skynet is already built.
Skynet = a Program/The Internet
What we are really waiting for is Skynet in the future to send it's ULTRA Top of the Line Norwegian Super Model Terminator Model
![[smilie=inlove.gif]](https://udev.peakoil.com/forums/images/smilies/inlove.gif "inlove")
back to our time. Then She will hack into the world wide web & unleash a Super computer virus that infects & takes control of the entire internet. Later we find out that virus is really Skynet!! 
Skynet is really a program & just needs to be downloaded onto your PC, for all we know he could already be there.
On the bright side, peak oil won't matter anymore.

In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.-Thoreau

The news itself doesn't seem to be a surprise. I do wonder what the dynamics are between Pres. Bush and the military. Bush seemed to be saying, No problem! The military seems to be saying, Yes - problem.
Juan Cole has a blog entry about this. (And he doesn't require registration!)
I've found that it's hard to keep up with the news without registering for the NY Times, the LA Times, the Sacramento Bee and a few others.
Once I registered, the process was painless. Registration is free.

Here's the beginning of it:
ASHINGTON, May 2 - The concentration of American troops and weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan limits the Pentagon's ability to deal with other potential armed conflicts, the military's highest ranking officer reported to Congress on Monday.
The officer, Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, informed Congress in a classified report that major combat operations elsewhere in the world, should they be necessary, would probably be more protracted and produce higher American and foreign civilian casualties because of the commitment of Pentagon resources in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A half dozen Pentagon civilian and military officials were discussing the outlines of the report on Monday as it was being officially delivered to Congress; one government official provided a copy to The New York Times. The officials who discussed the assessment demanded anonymity because it is a classified document.
General Myers cited reduced stockpiles of precision weapons, which were depleted during the invasion of Iraq, and the stress on reserve units, which fulfill the bulk of combat support duties in Iraq, as among the factors that would limit the Pentagon's ability to prevail as quickly as war planners once predicted in other potential conflicts.

Newspapers nationwide are losing subscribers faster than Joan Rivers can chase down the next plastic surgeon and sensationalist headlines that have zero to do with anything are all the rage it seems. That article is just selling newspapers as it really says nothing at all …
The only relevant quote one needs from that article is …..In an upbeat final paragraph, General Myers told Congress that the armed forces "remain the most professional, best trained, and best equipped military in the world.
"Our ability to project power, anywhere in the world, remains second to none," he added. "The dedication, commitment, and sacrifice of the men and women of our Armed Forces ensure success in every challenge."

Yes, that is why Lyndee England is on trial - due to her excellent training in the Geneva Convention.
Yes, that is why Duracell asks for citizens to send batteries to troops. Or the 'adopt a sniper' program exists. Or 'send coffee to troops' program. The homemade armor is a 'fashion statement' - a customization to show off your individuality.
Now, if they want to be EVEN BETTER, they need more money. Tax Dollars. Because Halliburton has expenses. Costs of $27,514,833 to deliver $82,100 in LPG fuel that need to be paid.
