yeah my mate reakoned there always zipping about somewhere in the south – west are – can’t rememvber where he saaid though. they practice attacks on passing cars along roads in the country side he says! says they just pop up and hack it to another spoy, disaeper then reappear somewhere the other side of your car as your going along doning it alot! lol amusing

perhaps some way of getting into Link -16 is the ultimate hope for them, imagine that for a ‘card to play’. Be a toughy to beat that but if its possible or not i don’t know.

Who says they have to have F-22’s to attack? is there a Law that says this, quite capable enough without the F-22 to do the job. And who says USA will attack first? Again no law or rule says this has to be the case – why not an Iranian attack on US assets in the region?

must be nice too have onboard i guess, be it a pool or a sauna. Shame they couldnt off added a little sand and beach chairs too 🙂 .Just wondering would the origional idea of pool or sauna (whatever) have been linked to other projects for Soviet vessels? i mean were they like wanting to see how viable it was with the intention of perhaps using them in other newer (unbuilt or designed) subs and ships? Or was the whole thing just a ‘treat’ to that class of sub. I’m just Imagineing a Sub bigger then typhoon see with a nice big pool for actual proper exercise cos isnt swimming the perfect way to keep fit in a boat – i mean the same area as a Gym roughly but not all the stupid clanking weights and what not. I dunno just a thought. And dosnt swimming excersie every single muscle int he body almost all at once – seems ideal to me 🙂

wow raygun, i’ve never heard of that rumour before – dosn’t sound possible but i’d be very interested to hear more of this.

well even hardened lefties in the ‘west’ find MEMRI a vary reliable sourch – media too such as BBC and Al-Gaurdian also use MEMRI.

just one point about Saddam not being a religious nut – he was in many ways – there is the fact he would pay the families of palistian suicde bombers for the loss of thier ‘martyrdom’ (sniggers). Also his much vaunted ‘fediyeen’ ,lol, where religous nuts There is way to much evidence now stacking against Sammy to say that he wasn’t Islamic – hell go pay a visit to Memri.com and see for yourselfs.

The whole ‘no fly zones’ issue and Iraqi units engaging Coalition aircraft over Iraq in the years between desert storm and OIF is one thats conveniantly forgoten by thos on the left. Under a UN mandate we policed the skys in northen and southern Iraq being engaged and locked by Iraqi airdefense a hell of alot.AFM did an article once all about ‘Saddams Missile Men’ and how they provocked and harrassed the UN madated no fly zones. The point i make is Mr Hussain never actually complied with the countless UN resolutions made by the UN – he made a mockery out of it and reaped in the profits off of a crocked and thoughrly criminal ‘oil for food’ program.
