The biggest problem with last nights game was GL if he would have ignored the second tilt the Ducks would not have had the need to fight as hard as they did.  They think they can win now and that is scary.  George should have let the wanna be tough guy alone instead he takes him down in two and...

You have to wonder how many black eyes the supply chain can take before someone actually fixes the damm thing.  I always thought they were responsible for handing out the kit but I guess in the field is no different then in garrison.  They sort through the mess and take the best dishing out...

I agree, America fought for its freedom to be its own nation and control its own destiny.  It has never forgotten that, and continues to remind the rest of the world that it has done just that.  Maybe they just have better PR people and the people that move there want to adopt the ideolgies of...

It is scary that the Forces are in the situation they are in.  The Cupboard is very very bare at this point in time.  I would like to think that things will be fixed within the next 5 ish years but I don't see it happening.  We are the flavour of the month Year what ever for now.  That will fade...

In theroy it could apply to any nation who is built on the backs of its immagrant population.  But i think you are speaking directly of Brazil.  ;D On a serious note.  It is sad that we know the symptoms but ignore the diagnoses.

I heard prob the best comment on this issue on the radio from Edmonton this morning.  This is in regard to the Afgans maybe rising up against our troops because of this issue. If the people are pissed and going to rise up against the Canadians then why did they not rise up against the Taliban...

High velocity lead Stroke, I like that.  I think he has a better chance of being stung by a bunch of lead bees from a parade apperance but that is my MOO. This guy is well and beyond Kim Jong Il, I mean even Kim did not think he could wipe a nation of people off the face of the earth in...

I think the shock value of the attack has a lot to do with the definition of it.  It seems that the public would not be shocked by an SUV crashing inot a builiding as much as say if the young man blew himself up in the building after doing so.  Yes the world has changed and gone and made...

Pretty tough to have a National Victory strategy for Iraq when the goals that were set for the initial victory can never be obtained.  The odds of the Iraqis electing a stable government are slim to non in the near future anyway.  They can't even get parliment to work right now, to elect a PM...

Do you ever get the feeling that Iran is just seeing how far they can push this before they get burned? I mean saying you want to a nation wiped off the face of the earth. Basically telling the Western powers that you don't care what they think you are going after a nuclear program anyway. I...

Today brought nothing more then new troubles as Iran stated that the USA will feel pain if they cause Iran to feel pain. I think that Egypt and Syria could be decding factors in this mess.  If Egypt condems Iran then the rest of the major Arab nations will probably follow suit.  If Syria says...

Only if you think the government will last for four yrs.  I don't think it will be that long and I don't see him winning the seat again as a conservative in 58% minority riding.  I could be wrong it has happened before.  I see an election in 20-24 months.  Especially if Harper keeps this up. ...

I am sorry. I was going to bite my tounge on this but I could not.  I don't really care that Emerson crossed.  Sure fine what ever one for one. Him for Belinda sure.  Harper through up a storm when she got a cabinet post and said that when/if he got into power he would never do that.  He also...

Round one and it looks like the gloves are off already. OTTAWA (CP) - Stephen Harper used his first news conference as prime minister-designate Thursday to warn the United States to mind its own business when it comes to Canada's Arctic. The Conservative leader said he'll stick to his...

Test number one. I guess this is as good of a test as any ex specially with the NORAD agreement up for re-signing.  And now they want NORAD to sea-borne as well.  This should be interesting.  Will Harper stick to his guns and to promises he made to Canadians?  Or will he attempt to appease the...

On this i could not agree more.  People locking the barn door after the horse escapes does not replace the horse.  We have to be able to stop the attack before it happens or worse case respond efficently and effectively if it does happen. MOO

You are right I never said this would be a cheap option but one that may be worth considering.   As to your points..... The F-15 allows pilots to perform the patrols that everyone seems important over Canadian Airspace in a fighter that is capable of responding quicker to any possible threat to...

Hmmm maybe the Griffion is not as bad as it seems at least it stays in the air.  I knock on wood as i say this.  And to think I just read somewhere that they were thinking of taking two or three of these birds to the stan to fly in the higher altitudes there. Or maybe this is all a big cover...

I know the CF-18 is undergoing this upgrade to bring it on line with NATO standard equipment.  The sad part is we will be losing alot of aircraft to make this upgrade possible.  Is that a balance that we want?  I know that we have aprox 80 in the CF right now (airforce link...

  Before i get slammed all over i am just curious as to how much time people think we have left in our CF-18's.  If there is not much left in them what would we replace them with?  F-15E's? or wait until the Jsf or F-35 is fully ready.  Personally i think the F-15e would fill the role nicely...
