ARSENAL - Arsenal: Rolling PowerDVD Available at: www.Arsenal.LongtailDVD.com This program presents a dramatic, fast-moving episode that depicts the development of ground forces, from past failures and successes, to the state-of-art equipment and forces at the heart of today's mechanized battlefield. The combat capability of the modern army depends on a careful balance of many types of advanced weapons, all of them fast moving, all of them deadly. This episode will show you a battle-tested example of how today's armies are organized to optimize their effectiveness. The largest and most lethal of mobile units used today is the Heavy Maneuver Division, exemplified by the US Army's 24th Infantry Division. The key combat elements of the division -- tanks, infantry, artillery and army aviation -- are examined, explaining how they interact to maximize combat power on the battlefield. Featured equipment includes the M1 Abrams main battle tank, infantry vehicles such as the M2 B radley, artillery systems including the M109 self-propelled howitzer, and the MLRS, and close-air support vehicles such as the AH-64 Apache.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the Syrian-bound passenger jet, travelling from Moscow to Damascus earlier this week, was carrying illicit cargo provided by a Russian supplier. Erdogan did not elaborate on where Turkey received the intelligence or who in Russia had provided the materials.
Syrian officials have denied the plane was carrying any military cargo. Russia, a top ally of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, demanded an explanation from Turkey, saying its actions threatened the lives and safety of the passengers on board.Â
The Syrian Air flight was intercepted by fighter jets late Wednesday in the Turkish capital, Ankara. The plane was allowed to complete its trip to Syria early Thursday without the cargo.
The inc ident has increased tensions between Turkey and Syria who in recent weeks have exchanged artillery fire across their shared border.
Meanwhile inside Syria, activists say six rebels were killed in an attack on a military checkpoint in Dera'a province that left 14 soldiers dead. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights adds that air bombardments and heavy clashes are taking place in Idlib, Deir Izzour and Aleppo provinces.
Syria's President Assad has been fighting a 19-month uprising against his rule that has killed tens of thousands of people.
The observatory says 260 Syrians were killed in fighting Thursday including 86 civilians, 60 rebel fighters, 13 defected soldiers, and 92 regime forces.

Suggest Turkey Defends Syrian Plane Interception - Voice of America Topics Question by gonzo_fan2007: What do you think about "seperation of church and state"? Truly the U.S. Constitution never mentions "seperation of church and state." All it says is that Congress cannot pass a LAW that respects one religion over another, forces a certain religion on a citizen, or keeps a citizen from practicing a religion. Just as we embrace our American history (i.e. war, battles, people, etc.), shouldn't we embrace the religion that founded America (Believe it or not, but American Government, laws, and morals are based on Christianity). Christianity, whether you like it our not, is American history. "Let the children who are sent to those schools be taught to read and write - - - (and a)bove all, let both sexes be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education - -" -Ben Franklin In response to crao_craz- when jesus was saying those words, he was actually endorsing religion in government. He was talking about dual citizenship, and that we have obligations to our government which should be shared with our obligations to God. Please read the scriptures before and after a quote. Don't take things out of context. Read the Bible before you quote it!! Best answer for What do you think about "seperation of church and state"?:

Answer by Lysol
Sure, it was founded on Christianity. I'm fine with that. But we don't need Christianity being forced upon us everywhere. I think it's a great idea, and should be kept in place.

It doesn't matter, all the muslims know that your country is run by Satanists. We will see what Allah has to say about all this.
Answer by Rev. Mark James
If you honestly think America was founded on Christianity you are downright misinformed or not properly educated. "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.†- Thomas Paine
Answer by uberzoid2001
The proposed idea as presented is great, but nowdays, it's more propaganda. There is no separation between anything except the poor and their money!
Answer by Laura
If we embrace our history, we have to embrace the intentions of the people who wrote our Constitution. They were very clear in their intent -- this country was founded by people who left other countries where they were not free to practice their own religion, where the tyranny of the majority forced a specific religion on others. They were clear that there must be a separation of religion from government. Embrace that.

Jesus said, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." Where the United States is concerned: The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in the Constitution, but rather derives from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a group identifying themselves as the Danbury Baptists. In that letter, Jefferson referred to a "wall of separation between church and state." The Danbury Baptist Association wrote President Jefferson in an attempt to persuade him to use his Executive Powers as President to intervene in their behalf. In his letter of reply to the Danbury Baptist Association, Jefferson argued that the U.S. Constitution forbade any interference from the Federal government with a Connecticut law which required membership in a particular church in order to hold public office. Jefferson's point in the letter was that the Federal or State governments had no Constitutional authority to prohibit the practice of any religion. Jefferson refused their plea on the grounds cited in his letter. Thus, with the adoption of the Jeffersonian phrase '...wall of separation between church and state...', by those who seek to use Federal power to remove from the public square any religiosity of any sort, the inversion of the meaning intended by Jefferson as he wrote it.

Politics and Religion do not mix, and shouldn't be the imposed on running a country. Prime example, the movie Munich by Steven Spielberg.
Answer by jeremycharles7
I believe the intention was to not show favor to any one group over another. True, lots of the Western Worlds laws and culture have roots in Christianity. But how can the state be christian? Does that mean that we start stoning women who have sex outside of marraige to death.?
Answer by steveangela1
I feel that we should embrace the values of our founding fathers. It is getting to the point where people wil be put down for being a christain... or for that amtter having any type of religon. its going to be an ugly world, and we could possible see the fall of the untited states. christiany was a big part of the founding of this country....... its sad, we are being run by Godless people........

Great idea in principle, as far as keeping the peace. Hasn't been working out too well though. I'm faintly reminded of Communism. :)
