Neil D Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 So, Bevin, help me out here..... Russia sells anti aircraft missles and we sell.... "laser-guided bunker-busting bombs"...... What palestinian is gonna be in a bunker?? They already have tanks that can blow out a building or an appartment complex... What "finger poking" is gonna fix which hole in the dam??? IOWs, why are we selling somehting that is totally useless to the Isrealis? Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw

Neil D Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 So....Isreal is planning to invade Iran and/or Syria???? In all honesty, I dont think so....I don't even think that they will invade if invaded....[You know, some invader, ie Syria or Iran, invade them,and the Isrealis route them and pursue them into thier own country...] Nah, it just aint gonna happen... I think we sold them a 'bill of goods' that ain't gonna do them any good....unless they truely are planning to invade... Maybe it's a case of propoganda...It looks like they bought some to keep thier neighbors off balance...I dunno...It's only purpose seems to me to esculate the tensions over there... I invite anyone to add to this or comment on this... Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw

Neil D Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Quote: Israel has bombed Iranian nuclear installations in the past. Well, that is true...And I guess that would call for a "buster bunker" bomb. But again, wouldn't that tend to esculate the tensions between countries, not reduce them???? [sigh]...I am begining to think that with all the hawks in the political leadership positions, we might need to restart that nuclear holocaust clock and set it back to 5 minutes befoe midnight....
