The last guarantee.

Fired from 1,500 meters away, a Hellfire Missile takes 4 seconds to reach its intended target when fired from an Apache Attack Helicopter.  The last 4 seconds of a mans life. Definite. Assured.

A man in a shack.  A man in a shack shot a machine gun at Americans.  In 4 seconds, he and his shack will be no more.

Who is this man?

What was he doing five years ago?  Did he embrace America as liberator? Was he indifferent? Was he an uneducated Shiite living in poverty? If he was 16 then, what did he aspire to do in the slums of Eastern Baghdad?

If today he is 21, what does he believe politically? Religiously? Is he indifferent to life around him? What spurns him to fire upon armored Americans when he knows a helicopter can bestow him only 4 seconds of guaranteed life?

If he welcomes his death, to what end does he live?

If the last guarantee of your life is not death, but instead is 4 seconds of cognizance of your own death, what thoughts do you hold?

The Ford workstation brings your office to your vehicle, making it easier to conduct business in Houston than ever before. Ask your Houston Ford dealer about the options available. rn rnWith an in-dash computer in your Ford pickup or van, you drive around Texas without having to back track to your office in Houston to fill out a form or submit a work order. Simply logon to your computer from your Ford and check e-mails, fill out spreadsheets and log information. Your Ford dealer Houston can discuss further with you the benefits of the Ford workstation.
