U.S. continues to conduct air strikes in Libya
WASHINGTON | Wed Apr 13, 2011
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. fighter jets are still attacking Libyan
leader Muammar Gaddafi's air defenses even after NATO took over full
command of Libya operations earlier this month, the Pentagon said on
Wednesday.
'DEFENSIVE MISSIONS' in those campaigns as well if there is a specific request
from NATO. [ Voir Quantificateurs + noms collectifs ] providing this strike capability on a (limited) basis doesn't change that," Lapan said.

The Jobless See a Lifeline at Risk
March 31, 2011
PALM COAST, Fla. — With his worn black canvas briefcase at his feet, Richard Dudenhoeffer, a cabinet maker, stood at a computer at the one-stop employment center and scrolled through Florida’s employment listings before settling on three applications: Custodian for the Flagler County School Board. City meter reader. Assistant manager at a tractor supply company. In the year he has been collecting unemployment checks in Flagler County, where joblessness remains stubbornly high, Mr. Dudenhoeffer, 61, has not even gotten his foot in the door, despite his almost daily efforts to find a job, any job. No interviews. No phone calls. No e-mails. No flicker of hope. Without charity and his $247 weekly unemployment check, he would lose it all, he said, starting with his mobile home and his car, a lifeline in a county with no public transportation. “I sold my 9-millimeter gun,” Mr. Dudenhoeffer said offhandedly, after rattling off the possessions — coin collection, gold jewelry — he had sold to stay afloat. “It was too tempting to blow my brains out.” He added, “I am just so depressed.” For the jobless like Mr. Dudenhoeffer, the outlook does not look immediately brighter.

next to Tom Clancy (and sell as many copies) but if his popularity is due to a belief that he adheres to the Boy Scout code of fiction, then his public are reading him for the wrong reasons. His books have been formed by the nature of the Cold War; they are one of the most thorough and historically useful guides to the mentality of those who ran it that we have.
