Always a catch, eh? if it sounds too good to be true…..

What? How can they disband the Royal Scots and the Black Watch? For shame!

All I can say is, Dan Castellenata should’ve listened to his alter ego Homer more.

“If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You go in everyday and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way!”

Well, they do deserve a pay raise, if those cheapos at FOX can get their panties untwisted from their heads.:)

Wow, who dug this thread out of the mothballs?

When Israel and Egypt sealed their peace treaty in 1979, the Palestinian were offered an autonomy that would have blossumed into an independent state. They refused. Same in 2000.

I would refuse too if there were no provisions for the complete dismantlement of settlements.

Overscan, I think there are 3 possibilities, assuming my estimates are correct, which I believe they are.

1) KLJ-3 is for the J-10; afterall, this has been confirmed by numerous Chinese sources, and HuiTong.

2) KLJ-3 is to be shared by the J-10 and J-11?

3) KLJ-3 is for the J-11 only, even though the test craft was, at the time, labelled to be testing J-10 radar.

To add a little to what JJ wrote:

Good luck trying to back the above claim with evidence, Google. The Kind David Hotel was home to the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and Headquarters of the British Forces in Palestine and Transjordan. Less than a third of it was an hotel proper, and since that section was not targetted in the blast, few of the hotel residents were hurt. The vast majority of victima were British military personnel and their employees, and that carnage could have been avoided had they evacuated the hotel as they had been warned to do prior to the blast.

Still, the Kind David bombing was stupid, which brings us to the next point :

It was very much a military target, but you’re right, nobody looked at them like the Palestinians. In contrast to Arab attacks against Jews, widely hailed as heroic actions, the Jewish National Council denounced the bombing of the King David. At a meeting of the Jewish Agency Executive in Paris on August 5, 1946, it was decided to terminate the armed struggle against the British in Palestine, and all cooperation between the Haganah (the mainstream Jewish force at the time) and the Irgun (which carried out the bombing) ceased.

I believe that according to the casuality numbers, there were 91 people killed by explosives planted by the Irgun: 28 Britons, 41 Arabs, 17 Jews and five persons of other nationalities. Of the dead, 21 were British government officials, 13 were soldiers, and three were police officers. There were also 49 employees of either the hotel or the British government and five members of the public. While my earlier comment about children being killed was an overstatement, there is no doubt that civilians and women were killed by the attack.

Now, did the JNC condemn the attack because of moral outrage, or fear of British reprisals?

No such warning for the Semiramis Hotel, eh?

Nope, that would be the Zionists who obliterated the hotel in Tel Aviv I believe. Which was neither a political nor a military target, yet nobody seems to look at them in the same light as the Palestinians. Why is that? This was before WWII even.

Actually, the bombing of the King David Hotel wasn’t a suicide bombing. They blew up the hotel yes, with lots of women and children inside, but ran away before they could be blown up too.
