  I have always been around, just a little busy, hehehe. With typhoon all over the world, better to stay home. I don't propose one-sided argument, I just stand on one-side, my side, that is what arguement is all about, isn't it? you just have to work harder next time when you argue with me, or just accept that there are sides that are different from your side.

  Well, I'm closer to the latter argument.

  aiya... just shoot the damn yanks... look what they have been doing to the world economy... petrol $2!!!!! Just kidding... but that is if our men are taking fire... i will say the governor will not have his ass fried... simply because he issued the decree to protect the unarmed civilians.
  
  Hmm i guess our CH-47s will be US marked but the crew will be donning SG uniforms still.. Wahahaha MH-47.. SG's very own SOAR.
  
  Anyway... this whole incident gives the Department of Homeland Defense a good kick up their butt... sadly in had to come in this manner to wake them up about their own problems. this might teach them that they got problems on their own and perhaps stop being so nosy make other people's problem their own.
  
  Good luck to our chinook crew! As for the yanks, you guys have good stuff i have to admit and the world feels sad at the tragedy in Texas BUT! Its about time to start concentrating on your damn domestic problems before you poke ur nose into other countries affairs.
  
  I think this incident hurt their ego real bad...

  You all have forgotten that 67.4% of New Orleans dudes are blacks.
  That means , for such a "shoot to kill" scenario to be implemented, some people definitely would have to be Rac__ts.
  
  Why would a country care about it's minority?
  Anyone care to comment?
  
  If the blacks are also willing to fire at the armed forces , which majority of them are white , you will know that something is definitely going on behind the curtains.

  According to an interview with BBC, NO's mayor said that if majority of the storm's victims were white, the response would have been different.

  The operation began immediately after emergency workers succeeded in closing a massive hole in a floodwall partially swept away by raging Katrina.A Chinook fr Sg?
  
  

  RSAF Detachment Commander of Peace Prairie, Lieutenant-Colonel Kevin Rodrigues, said his men were in high spirits and remained focused in their mission.
  
  He explained how their responsibilities had evolved since the start of their mission.
  
  Lt-Col Rodrigues said: "In the beginning, when we first got here, the relief efforts was focused on relocating evacuees mainly from two locations which was the Super Dome and Convention Centre.
  
  "When that was done, we shifted our mission to operations and moving sand bags to block up the levees that have broken and in between that, we are still doing evacuations, mainly the stragglers that are still coming in and being picked up around New Orleans." - CNA/de

  Singapore's helicopter crews are deputized to the Texas National Guard.
  
  It means that the air units are under US control. There is a US liaison officer on board. Very much the same why SAF units patrolling Changi Airport comes with a police officer.
  
  If there is any shooting, I strongly suspect it will be the liaison officer will be doing it. BTW for the racist conspiracy nuts, he is white.
