This will be a huge Bush Legacy Blunder.
Losing Afghanistan at the point of total victory.
Remember when Bush in the one truly glorious phase of his reign he got together a great coalition of nations and had a plan to solid plan to crush the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Remember how starting the the Afghan 'Northern Alliance' rebels, Afghan tribes quickly rallied alongside the Coalition to overrun the Taliban and Al quaeda to send them fleeing through Tora Bora!
Remember the consolidation of most of Afghanistan with the huge refugee crisis along the Pakistan border being fixed?
Remember how success story after success story came rapidly with Afghanistan's infrastructure being strengthened, villages modernized, rural women getting more rights, children educated in new schools, Afghan army being remodelled and quickly trained to defend and attack the last Taliban holdouts?
Remember the poppy/heroin operations [that were supposedly stopped by the Taliban; but in fact they were hording heroin in stock to drive the price of heroin up]?

Remember when everyone was giddy with the successes in that arena thinking it was almost all over?
Remember when Bush suddenly lost his mind and invaded Iraq with no provokation at all?
If you remember that AND you were watching what was happening in Afghanistan the last 4 years with any interest, you'll almost want to cry -you'll see how the turning tide in Afghanistan co-related with Al quaeda's real resurgence in Pakistan while their 'distraction operatives' pulled Bush's focus deeper into Iraq.

So much achievement and sacrifices of soldiers in Afghanistan have now been reduced to the Taliban regaining control of much of the country, putting the fear of their extremism back in the locals hearts and now at the doorstep of Kabul. Oh yes, and then there's the heroin operation back in full swing supplying huge funding for Al Quaeda.

It all reminds me of thefinal fight in the movie "Million Dollar Baby".

sad.gif ...sigh ... you really know how to cheer a guy up!

C'mon, we're Americans! We prefer to forget about stuff. Hell, we've just now pulled all of our broadcast network correspondents from Iraq, and now you want us to think about Afghanistan??? PULEASSEEEEEE!

By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!

And a little something special for me Mae West China Plate: moonsmilie.gif

And while we are on smilies, I miss this guy: 69.gif ... where oh where is some help when you need him... Hopefully, he and Crazy are safe from those marauding Canadian avalanches.

For me, this past year is best summed up by this: shithappens.gif , but next year should better! onfire.gif

HF, I hope you get a new computer soon. Prices sure are dropping. We need to see HF back on the battlefield!

My freaking CoD is messed up------ sad.gif
I tried to totally uninstall it but there's some orphan file somewhete in my pc that's not letting me do a fresh install...........
And I don't know if I'll get a new pc until the new Windows comes out - it looks good and Microsoft will make sure its user friendly seeing as they're feeling some hard times lately

HF you probably have a problem with leftover registry entries.
Here is how you remove them


1) Click Start button > Run.
2) At the prompt type: REGEDIT. The registry editor will open.
3) Click the "+" next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4) Click the "+" next to SOFTWARE.
5) Click the "+" next to ACTIVISION.
6) Right-click on the CALL OF DUTY United Offensive folder and select Delete.
7) Close the registry editor.

If that doesn't fix your problem let me know

Next time it happens, open your console an tell me what PB message you're getting.
Something else you might try is instead of updating PB, delete the PB folder in your COD directory.
Then re-install PB from scratch.

will try ,thank you.

didn't fix- and I think the prob is CoD and not Cod UO. I get 'uninstall' when I put the cd in to install it because I had in fact thought long ago it was uninstalled- I tried Hamma's idea with a cheap-bought new cod disc, but the same thing happens- I can't install a new cod- I'm going to delete the activision folder itself and see if that does the trick after I restart the pc..... otherwise I need your further instructions to seek and destroy those cod orphan files which I can't otherwise find.

If you removed the registry entries and it didn't work then do this

1) Double-click the My Computer icon.
2) Double-click the C:\ drive.
3) Double-click Program Files.
4) Right-click on the Call of Duty folder and select Delete.


You may also want to remove the COD.ini file which is in your windows directory.
1) Click the Start button > Find (or Search) > Files & Folders.
2) Search your C:\ drive for a file named COD.INI.
3) The file should be located in C:\WINDOWS.
4) Delete this file.
Now the game is completely removed from your system.

Always good to have team members picking up things one overlooks.
A months or so ago I searched my entire computer for 'Call of Duty' files -by those words- to get that pesky orphan file giving be grief- apparently I overlooked searching for 'COD' files ... OR I searched only the partitioned drive I had recently installed cod on -not in 'C' drive.
Anyway Good Robert got me to find the file to delete as he stated it.- CoD is back in order and installed - just ready to get UO setup- 1st time failed- the partition I tried to put it on had not enough room- had to reshuffle space amongst partitions- 3 years ago I thought 80GB was double what I could ever need.... lol- now those standard 640 GB diskspace I see on comps nowadays very appealing indeed!!!! hahaha

Thanks again Robert and others- see you in the old battlefields soon- and shreddies recommended one.
