The amount of credibility circulating around Ottawa is diminishing about as quickly as a sunset. Next time our MP's stand up to talk in parliament they might as well turn around and drop their pants, because from what I can make of it most of them are already talking out of their ***.  ...

The Liberals will be able to ignore the vote tomorrow tabled by the Tories, because it is not a budgetary vote of confidence.

I have not seen the new War Museum, but from reading all the posts on the subject it seems clear that instead of showing the sacrifices, bravery and accomplishments of our military, through many difficult years there is an attempt to humiliate, and showcase the failures of the Canadian military...

When the Serb army left Kosovo, it was noticed that they left with most of their amour intact, and not severely decimated and left burning in the fields as the air force claimed. Apparently many more tank decoys had been destroyed than real armour. Within this context it is hard to buy that...

TCBF, your link is down for some reason.

A little more co-operation between the Italians and the Americans befor hand, probably would have gone a long way in missing this tragedy. Italy hits back over agent's death U.S. reports says soldiers were not told of movements http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/05/02/italy.report/index.html...

I thought that it had been argued effectively that air power did NOT win the war in Kosovo solely, but rather in conjunction with the perceived threat of a NATO land invasion.

Upon further research into the origins of the Katayusha rockets aka, Stalin's Orgin, the Russians were made aware of the Nebelwerfer and German rocket technology as early as 1936. These accounts then go to pains to state that the Katayusha rocket system was brought online two months before OP -...

"also what would you say about this statement  "considering the Russians produced the weapon that the germans feared more then anything, "Stalin's rockets"" Interesting note, I read in Guderians memoires on his initial drive with OP-Barbarossa, assigned to Army Group Center, that he came...

You must call me BAWANA, or I will be offended. Translation "great white hunter", NOT.  ;D

Well said Joaquim.

I have always felt that the WMD story was a convenient cover that was played because political perception told the Bushites that most people would support a war to get rid of the WMD's. Unfortunately the Bushites did not do their homework well enough. I believe the real reason the Americans...

Here the author shows his real strips, "It falls to Paul Martin, a decent and honest, though not particularly progressive, political leader to staunch the wounds and save the great party of the Canadian centre." Jim Laxer exposed himself for a Liberal supporter that is desperate to find a way...

aesop081 & Dragoon, yes I forgot my tongue in my cheek, mostly.  ;D Thought I am aware that we have very capable ASW forces and surface surveillance capability, I am also aware that these are finite resources and do not neccessarily cover all area's all the time, especially if our surface...

Apparently the Columbian drug cartels are building submarines as well: http://www.atsnn.com/story/129558.html http://www.ineoa.org/dmarshall1.htm Take for example the half-built submarine seized by the Columbian National Police last month in a warehouse outside Bogota. Not much in this...

On 30 September 2000 at 11.00 hours, the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment held the Official Opening Ceremony for their new Stirling Lines Headquarters at Credenhill in Herefordshire. It was performed by both The Rt Hon The Earl of Jellicoe and the Regiments Commanding Officer. The ceremony...

Found this via GOOGLE; Hi Tonet, I am in the UK though I did spend nearly 15 years in Germany in the army and my oldest son lives and works there. I live in the city of Hereford home of the SAS lol. I am 59 and semi retired.I am originaly from South Wales but Hereford was my last post in the...

AESOP081, well said unfortunately people in the know were not consulted adequately enough. Actually I am still confused with how and why we bought the Victoria class subs to begin with. As I have read the limited information available, our Navy was pushing for these subs as the right tool for...

One other massive Liberal failure comes to mind, the Tainted Blood fiasco. I just read the Mr. Dither's actually sat on the board of a company (plant was owned in part by the Canadian Development Corp) that was pushing to have a process to screen blood certified . This process was found to be...

How does 4 conventional subs help us? It would seem that we only have enough to do the job on one of three coasts.
