Good fantasy writing. Pretty amazing. Good catch words to get a clueless reader excited is to imply a “neo-con” conspiracy. Watch out for the use of “cabal” also. A French word.
We got rid of Iraq because consistant ( bad ) intel over time ( many years ) and 3 presidential terms showed it was a potential threat. Pulling the trigger on Iraq was an easy decision to make after looking at the 9/11 rubble. Good decsion. If it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, its a duck: KILL IT. As it turns out it was an excellent object lession, considering the usual suspects now know that the U.N. is now powerless to defend terrorist clients.
Good article for the dummies that want to believe it. Make sure it gets translated to French for their newspapers. Paris is the home of yellow journalism on this topic.
It was about oil, and it was about dollars
Here is a little economic tip for the socialists. If it was about oil, we would have just cut a deal with Sadaam a long time ago. A lot cheaper. The “It’s about oil” bs is just that.
Awe come on Arthur. We have all dropped things at work. 😮
You also forgot for example: Wreckage of punched off F-15 drop tanks = confirmed loss of the airframe. :rolleyes:
Some years back an Alaskan F-15 ate an AIM-9 fired by another F-15 in friendly ACM. It landed later with the back end shreded. The reason for the jet having the live missile was it was taking it from one base to another.
Thanks all
Arthur, some time back, also posted some very good attrition figures on this bird – by country.
What kind of camera gear did the recce version have. Anyone?
Deltas always suffer well dont they?:D Kinda like that one F-106 that after bailout, landed in a field of snow a bit worse for wear.
Great thread.
Never heard of such a thing happening with weapons procurement. 😉
Also for any modern day reference please replace the word “bribe” with “offset” or “offset deal”.
Simple. The Name of this thread is no joking matter. There is acutally a rumor flying around that this exact thing did in fact happen. It is unproven in the public consumption world. So when I see the title of this thread for the first time. I was expecting something worth while. Instead I find a wrong jet shot against the sky. Get it? it could be shot anywhere on this planet. Photo out of context with an important named topic and NO freaking topic worth reading. So I appologize for calling that moron an idiot.
Hey Great! I’ll check that out.
Yeah right. Take a picture out of context and post it with a ridiculous statement. Thats worthy of defending. Get a clue.
O.T.
Hey Steve. Any of your people going to do some cool photos of the last Italian F-104 flights this year ? I am sure they are going to have some kind of a ceremony or something. Should be some cool photos. I think the pilots are going to miss switching to a slower ride 😉

Yeah, this is typical for ELP. I already was *honored* by him the same way. The poor guy probably needs to get over some experiences from his bad childhood.
The title fits. If you are stupid enough to start a thread like this that is good enough for the response.
