Whereas you are unbiased enough to be able to say that you are not influenced by right-wing media and are sure to check everything thoroughly through them?
Look, there are Jews and there are Palistinians, and by my reckoning the world looks at them and forms but one opinion of each – whether rightly or wrongly: the Palistinians are of Arabic extraction and the Arabs originate in the Middle East; but the Israelis are largely the children of European Holocaust survivors, East European immigrants, African refugees, and American retirees – all Jewish.
Am I wrong? – Nermal
You 99% correct. I wasn’t influenced by right-wing media. I was influenced
by the left wing media to become nore rightist. i really haven’ changed, the
whole scene somehow moved sharply left and i want it to return back to
normal.
“Does it make you feel big when you reinvent history and logic?”
Does it make you feel big to deny the Palestinians prior existence there? Do you deny the terrorism of the Zionists who wanted Israel for themselves?
Your redicoulos claim that palestnians lived there for thousands of years can result only in two things
A) You think that todays palestinians are in someway connected to the
philistins (which were not even semetic).
B) You been brain washed by leftist media and never bothered to check
the facts. If they did live there for thousands of years then i would
love to known who their leaders (kings) were? what currency they used,
what was their flag? what was their border Surly if asked the same about
the british, french or russians they could easly answear this simple
questions.
What is even more intersting is that before the Sykes-Pico Agreement
of 1916 the entire middle east didn’t exist as far as countries and borders
are concerned. The first known plastnian leader was The Grand Mufti Hajj
Amin al-Husseini. You will his bio close to your heart.
I would go for Su-25 ground supportand a few used F-16s for AA missions.
Glider crushed, two were injuries moderate and light wounds (back injuries)
The Yanshuf with Unit 669 pulled them out.
The effect of UN, Euro, and Arab outrage after a military strike against Iran are unlikely to be much worse than they are over Iraq. So far, very few people have shown an inclination to actually do anything about these concerns if it costs them anything. They’ll hate the US more, but what real world effect has that had? (I’m not saying this as a fan of Bush-style in-your-face unilateralism, only as someone who hasn’t seen any concrete changes in policy by all these governments up in arms about Iraq).
The Iranian response is difficult to predict. A strike on their territory is an act of war, and you never know how people are going to react to that. Their ability to wage conventional operations against US forces outside Iraq is extremely limited, so any response would have to be by other than conventional means. How much pain that would inflict is hard to gauge without knowing how good their unconventional warfare capabilities are and how far they’d go. In any case, there would be a danger of escalation.
Iranians are not arabs and an attack on them is not doesn’t automatically
going to get all arabs enraged. The saudies recently asked for a pakistani
muclear umbrella in case Iran has Nukes, The UAE, Oman and Kuweit are not going to be very happy either. A US or Israeli strike will have to avoide
civilan casuallties since their is great hate for the mullah regime already and
you don’t wanted to turn them against the west. Their might be an attack
on the Revolutionary gaurds bases to weaken the grip of power of
Islamic leasders.
Yes, I think large countries that need to protect vast areas of airspace where GCI support is very low. Countries like Canada, US, Russia, Taiwan, Brazil and others would be suitable for this sort of thing, of course countries like Brazil or Canada would not need anything similar.
I think Taiwan could use something like the Mig-31 to protect it’s vast airspace and corridors around it where Chinese fighters will be intruding all over the place.
vast airspace i don’t know, but their will defintly be an attack of IBMs
on stratigic targets. The intruding Chinese fighters rise another question,
what early warnning radar to the Taiwanese have?
I think chile and Brazil due to thier long costal lines and Israel (which was offered)
for the great anti baslitic missile capabities of this amazing plane.
Question, couldnt they obtain SA-7s if they could smuggle weapons regularly?
It would not be a first, the IRA was involved in the plan to build surface to air missiles with IR homing in the 1980s. I think it had to do with Irish-American’s as they had access to the motors.
They can and they try to obtain SA-7s and longer range rockets (not home made) via the tunnels and via the sea.

Hi Alexz,
I’m not the guardian of any secrets. 😉
I believe the CIA ceased its A-12 operations around 1969. After that only SR-71’s flew operational missions, with USAF personnel.
You provide the link to the story where the guy is named Col. Wilson (USAF).
So, I wondered why the “CIA” was added.Cheers, Transall.
During the events of the Kippur war (and after) both Americans and Soviets played huge rules behind the scene. The politics changed as events on
the grounds change and they changed constatnly. The top US adminstration
and it’s dvisors needed to asses and react quickly to this events. It was
rumerd thou not proven (or cared enough to be investigated) that the CIA was behind the flight over the war zone. Some of that info during the war later actually was crucial in making the peace deal between Egypt and
Israel. Live Time information is the king of moderen warfare.
Alexz,
Why do you add “CIA” between “SR-71” and “pilot”?
The article says “colonel Wilson (USAF)”.Best regards, Transall.
Sorry. I didn’t know it was a secret. :confused:
The development of the A-12 began back in the mid 1950s when the CIA decided that it would be best to replace the U-2. They desired an aircraft that would travel much faster and higher to avoid enemy defenses. Lockheed, the developer of the U-2 was also given the contract to develop this supersonic aircraft after a competition with Convair. Funded by the CIA, the project was called ARCHANGEL. The Skunk Works, a division of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation went through twelve design proposals before they reached their final design, the A-12.
On 26 January 1960, the CIA ordered twelve A-12 aircraft. The next month, Lockheed began to search for 24 pilots for the A-12. Soon after in May of 1960, Francis Gary Powers was shot down in a U-2 over the Soviet Union. This event resulted in the United States and the Soviet Union signing an agreement not to fly manned vehicles over the Soviet Union again, a treaty that was undermined even before the SR-71 was built.
I never heard of this and it sounds strange! Afterall the Blackbirds were trying to help Israel out of the war by providing the President with accurate proof of respective border positions!
SR-71, (used for operational non-stop reconnaissance flights over Egypt, Israel, and Syria during the Yom Kipper War 1973/74), Operation “Giant Reach” OL-SB started on 11 October 1973 and the first mission was flown on 13 October, 1973.
Israel thought it going to get crushed by the invading arab armies and started
arming it’s nuke missiles (Jericho) That’s when the SR-71 showed up unannounced. I read the interview with Israeli pilots and hope i can find a translation for you, meanwhile this is the description of the SR-71 (CIA)
pilot who doesn’t bring up the attempt to be shot down.
http://webs.lanset.com/aeolusaero/Articles/Sleds%20Over%20Sinai.htm
Israel tried to down an SR-71 during the 73 with itsr F-4s but the Blackbird soared to 85,000 feet, beyond the range of the Israeli fighters.
“He walked away from the best chance for peace his people had in 50 years.”
Because he wanted the peace (and homeland) his people had enjoyed for thousands of years before.
Does it make you feel big when you reinvent history and logic?
Your ignorance shows, stick to the topic or don’t you know much about that either?
Ignorance? If wanting to learn more about a topic is ignorance then i want
to be the most ignorant 😀 person ever.
