hmm maybe we should make our own… Aviationism? with Orville and Wilbur as our prophets? maybe Davinci as our god? :rolleyes:

F-18 maybe a better and cheaper choice than going for the F-35 if you ask me. at least then it’d save us some cash or give us the choice of more aircraft on the carrier.

What with the RC-135’s being purchased there does seem to be a trend towards americanising our forces, but then so have the aussies and canadians, they just make them thier own aircraft. It’s not like we haven’t bought from the americans before… especially carrier wise

This really p*sses me off……. why are the US or Europe ramping up to do anything? it is an internal country strife which they will sort out themselves and as such the people of that country do not want us there…… did we do this for Egypt? NO…. did we do this in Tunisia? NO…. so why are we going to do it in Libya…………… Oh wait a moment, Libya has oil and the price of that is rising over the doubts on Libyian supplies……………..

They will get rid of him on their own time and way and do not want and will resent our presence……… have we not learnt anything from Afghanistan or Iraq???

Bring back the cold war…….. at least with the USSR on the other side of the wall, these countries involved today would do nothing for fear of awaking the Bear…… The cold war at least set checks and balances in place to the we will walk into other countries and help out scenarios..

Tony Egypt and Tunisia didn’t use its armed forces as badly towards its own civilians. They didn’t use AAA against unarmed citizens. It’s not like we’ve said we’re involving ground troops, merely suggested air patrol. Our gov. should know that we havent the man power to do anything that involves ground troops
