Why would the press want to report on that.  It would not do anything to make the war on terror any better or worse. ::) Secondly,  Of course the BS is flying, any lawyer worth his salts has to start the conspiracy/brainwash/us vs them/ smoke screen early and maybe he can get them declared...

Was it a sting? Were the alleged terrorists captured in the country's biggest ever terrorist bust infiltrated by agents and later entrapped? Does it matter? "Constitutionally it sure does," said terrorism expert Dave Harris last night. He understands the emotion of a public -- who can't...

I hear Afghanistan has some really nice cells and I am sure they would be able to find a copy of the Koran there. Just cause we deport them does not mean that they have to be freed. I have a hard time believing that if a Biker was placed in a jail cell and wanted a copy of the bible he would...

Was just on the NEWS here, the three tons of fertilizer that the "terrorist" bought, was bought from an undercover RCMP officer.  Hmm hand in cookie jar holding cookie. I just finished reading all the post in the thread and agree with almost all of them in the fact that 1)  All of them should...

And how do you do that.  Hell Russia is having a hard time keeping count of their nuclear leftovers right now and they are a more likely target for internal terrorist then the US.  I think this is a problem that has to be snipped before it gets a chance to come to a head, kinda like a boil. ...

The G-wagon is decent, but the Nayla is better for this task, I am impressed that they are making things happen. They should bite the bullet and negotiate for a larger batch and start equipping units with these, we will likely get a lot of use out of them over the years. I don't dis- agree one...

Just think of how shinny those new aircraft will be.  jeez and then we get to break them in and find out all the fresh bugs in the system and have to take them out of service when we need them most.  That sounds so CF. One can only hope that we do go with tested and proven equipment.  As was...

Listen more, shoot less, says peace adviser: Otherwise, he says, Canada will remain tied up in an unwinnable war -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Military tactics that don't differentiate between terrorists and Afghans with legitimate complaints...

For the specifics you would need a griffion driver.  But from what I understand they don't have the poser to lift or Climb in the atmospher there and that hot dry air does not allow them gain any/enough lift to be useful to carry anything. The only planes operating are the Hercs from what I...

lets hope they don't get this right to fast or they might cancel all the orders for the hercs and C-17 and just have the boys fly out on Air Canada or West Jet (which ever is cheaper) and jump into theater. :cheers:

I would much rather see the CF have a plane that they could use in the visable future then to place our eggs in the basket of a plane that is not even off of the drawing board yet.  And hey if in 2015 the A400 is ready and able then we could buy another 15 to have the gap filled, plus this...

No word on new LAVS but they are getting another 25-50 of the Nyalas to help ease the burden on the LAV's in theater.  Good link on them here. http://www.sfu.ca/casr/101-vehapv.htm

http://www.sfu.ca/casr/101-ch124troopcarrier.htm This link shows that they are getting 5 ready to go some time in Nov/Dec of 2006.  These 5 will not be going to Afghanistan but will be sent to the Standing Contingency Task Force, They are not capable of operation in the stan.  I remember this...

I am pretty sure this idea is dead.  It surfaced a while back in like February or something like that.  But they looked at the cost and risk and arrival of new helos for the Navy and possible some new birds for the boys in green and decided against it.  I will try and find the article it was in...

Nothing less could be expected especially when opinions get heated logic and common sense get boiled right out of the equation.

Excelent points,  the only thing i would dis-agree with is that operational experience or not, I know my life and the lives of my fellow troops are more important then the lifes of my enemy.     So in this conflict/war/peace making action, however you want to dice it, calling in Air support be...

That would be a good mix of proven equipment.  But see there in lies the problem you are using your head and it makes sense.  So we would more then likely see a hodge podge of helos from different manufactures some proven (to pass) some proven to fail, but this way we keep parts supplies across...

Infanteer I think the door is now closed.  I just hope C and P got his foot out before you slammed it. Opinions are like a holes everyones got one and some are bigger then others.  This is an issue that will not be solved on this or any other Form.  But i have to agree Teddy and Duey do seem...

You are right majoor, with Iran nothing they could say would really suprise me.  That country does not know what the right hand is doing while looking at their left. That is still no excuse for a major Western paper with resources and credibility on the line printing a story before verifying...

They do what they do to make money, sell papers, get people to watch their shows or whatever other medium they are.  They did run an apology on the story today allbe it on page two.  Hmmp not on the front page?  Apologies don't sell papers.
