As usual just a lot of speculation – no facts or reliable sources about so called “stated” U.S. policy with everyone else characterized as little whooly lambs.
Lets face facts. In a time of war, every communication system being used by each side will be fair game regardless of who it belongs to and in spite of commercial links.

Can anyone provide a reliable source or quote from a responsible U.S. official stating that the U.S. would destroy such a system other than in a situation where it was being used to attack the U.S.?

One pilot was killed. The other apparently has minor injuries.

The PAK-FA? Does it exist?

Lets face facts. French troops shot at point blank range a number of unarmed civilians. There are plenty of dead and injured shown in the video clips.

Lack of response is clear evidence that a double standard operates on this forum but we all knew that. :rolleyes:

Then you agree that it was wrong to ignore the subject of the thread.

Garry, Arthur and GA have proved your point JB.

There have been a number of similar and worse events reported in Iran during the last year or so. Obviously the people behind this report are not fans of the Iranian government. That said, because this wasn’t a BBC report dosn’t make it incorrect.

Well the sins of the U.S. (real and imagined) are debated continously on this forum and I have no difficulty with that. Looks to me, however, that some here are afraid to discuss issues without making a derisive comments about the U.S. Sad.

Looks like this information is out of date as it refers to the weight issue which we are now informed has been largly resolved.
Very nice pic!

Tell us all about your idea of what being a lapdog of the U.S. is.

He was a thug and an assassin. He caused nothing but pain and death in his life, most of all to the very people he professed to represent. A man totally incapable of getting beyond his hatred of Jews. A leader who was no leader. He walked away from the best chance for peace his people had in 50 years.
He carried a gun and talked tough but in the end he ran away to die in comfort. He swandered millions on terrorist acts and stole hundreds of millions more. He leaves almost no effective political structure or succession plan with which the new leadership can work.
Lets hope the death of Europe’s favourate terrorist leads to a positive change for all concerned.

No one here has ever suggested that terrorism started on Sep 11/01. As far as a global reach goes, the last time I looked, NYC is a long way from Afghanistan.

Now we have the IRA in play again. I wasn’t aware it was deployed worldwide. :rolleyes:
I would imagine a good deal of cash was raised amoung Irish Americans and funneled by various means to the IRA. I would bet that an equal amount was raised in the pubs in the U.K. :dev2:
It didn’t take long to turn this into a debate about U.S. foreign policy which is too bad because the Ivory Coast issue is important.
