    Canadian Future Fighter Capability

If we use 1 airframe fleet that is favoured and stay at the proposed fixed price from Lockheed of 50 million us per aircraft that would mean that it would cost $25-30 billion(U.S.)or $30-36Billion (CAN) just...

    Israel strikes Hard at Hamas In Gaza- Dec/ 27/ 2008

    So if we know that Iran is assisting these guys, why not deal with Iran directly.  I know it's a major undertaking but when Nazi Gemany invaded Poland we declared war on Nazi Germany, when the Japanese attacked pearl harbour we declared war on Japan, Iraq invades Kuwait we attack Iraq twice.  It...
