  1. I agree. However you statement was clearly unrealistic.
  2. Every adversary the United States has is developing it missile forces to counter our air supremacy. The United States already possesses the best ballistic missile technology. The current military leadership favors manpower intensive legacy technology. If we cannot keep up with our adversaries more cost efficient strategies we may eventually be forced to follow their example.
  3. There is a one-use aspect to any weapon deployment. The bomb is only used once. The difference is the cost in risk and dollars to deliver it. The greatest cost is the manpower in money and risk is in the manpower necessary to deliver the weapon. The aircraft requires a pilot, support aircraft, antiaircraft suppression aircraft, refueling aircraft, maintainence crew, carrier crew, carrier support, carrier defence destroyers and subs, refueling and supply ships, Naval bases. and much more. Long range aircraft take to long to get to the target and are larger more vulnurable. ICBM do not take any longer to reach the target.
  4. Often military forces are deployed as a show of force short of actual attack. Carriers have been sent to the areas of Taiwan and North Korea as a show of force often with the pretext of military exercises.
  5. Your point was that the US had nothing to do with the Taleban's control of Afghanistan, therefore it does contradict your point. Despite how useful the perspective that there is a unified "they" to refer to does not make it a reality. There are people and positions willing to do this. There are more that would be happy to work with the US.
  6. That is all to common for their perspective.
  7. This has nothing to do with the content of my quote. It is a desperate attempt by the unfunny to be clever.
  8. Just as your name is appropriate to the grin on your Avatar.
  9. The US under the authority of amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act, has imposed sanctions on Pakistan in the past, cutting off economic and military aid as a result of its pursuit of nuclear weapons. It must be a lie if they say it then.
  10. Does everyone use a picture that accurately relects who they are? Why would someone hide behind a false image in this manner?
  11. I think it is time a made a few Science posts.
  12. Good point. Those conventional bunker busters get pretty big though. Large bomb
  13. I suggest you are mistaken Pangloss. The Wahabi of Saudi Arabia are an extreme sect of Saudi Arabia that has been enraged by many American activities. They provided the funding for the Taleban. The militant Islamist in Pakistan are fueled by the favorable treatment the US has given India during their conflicts. They ran the schools that indoctrinated the Taleban. The Taleban had a close and functional relationship with many of the foreign fighters that were funded and supported by the CIA during the war with the USSR. I doubt the Taleban would have been able to gain power without the environment created by the US activities in the region.
  14. Keboabs come from Muslim culture. Does anyone think this fact is incrdible pointless?
  15. There was older Jewish man. He had kind of a condescending way of talking down to people. I do not know if it was deliberate but he always sounded like he was lecturing. He was okay, I guess, if you could stand to hear him talk
  16. What Foreign teachers have you had? Did they speak English well? Were they good teachers?
  17. Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans are not stronger than people. They all lack the powerful legs and buttocks of people. The other apes cannot compete with people in Dead lifts, squats, or cleans.
  18. Muhammad Ali used an Islamic name. Many consider him to be the best boxer ever.
  19. There was a college kid at the Jiu Jitsu Academy. He was called Mikey. He was only about 135 pounds but very skilled. I found him to very creative though timid and shy.
  20. Perhaps only with those making the comments.
