North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command along with U.S. Pacific Command, the Department of Homeland Security as well as local, state and other federal responders will exercise their response abilities against a variety of potential threats during Exercise Vigilant Shield ‘08, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-designated, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)-sponsored, and U.S. Joint Forces Command-supported Department of Defense exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions.

VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4), the nation’s premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, and several other linked exercises as part of the National Level Exercise 1-08. These linked exercises will take place Ocober 15-20 and are being conducted throughout the United States and in conjunction with several partner

Let's see.... tally up all the dry-runs & exercises and place over it the number of attacks that happened during one. This will result in a very low fractional value and contradict any implications or conspiracies set forth here. Why would one assume he's been aware of every exercise just because THIS one is known of ? How many occurred outside of your knowledge and therefore your ability to use it as a vehicle for bashing the structures that be.

I hope that you might be correct for once about the Emperor with no clothes, at least on till 2008. God would really have it in for him if he was wrong ALL the time, don't you think?

Did you see his performance in Australia? He cannot even stay with the simplest of script any more. It's really embarrassing now when they let him out. But then all the RATs are deserting the ship. What would you do to them? Shooting is too good for them, don't you think?

By the way, the reason I did not reformat the disc drive was partly because I was not sure of what I was doing and also because I never received a disc with the computer -- it was preprogrammed. I can only afford a Dell; the cost of living keeps going up & I am on a limited income. But much thanks for your suggestions, thank your son as well.

Reformatting is not complicated but you do need the discs. We have reformatted previously. It's a very good idea with Windows anyway as lots of 'stuff' slows up your machine or causes clutter.

We have found that external hard drives are great. I keep my music, photos and such on one and he has his own. With these you can save your stuff there before formatting.

Sharing info costs nothing so any time...

I believe these are connected, and may be part of the preparations of for the implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
