Ahem... further to my being taken to task by Bren over alleged anti-americanism, I thought it'd be worth posting that they've started bombing Yorkshire with  F-15E Strike Eagle jets!

Given the US Air Farces usually accuracy problems i suspect he was aiming for iraq.

<font color='#000080'>rare my arse. &nbsp;They accidentaly drop the fuel pods regularly. &nbsp;They look like bombs slung under the wings, and get jettisoned over the military ranges.

<font color='#000F22'>I guess that wold be classed as friendly fire. There was only a british flag flying over the subject &amp; all current allie identification markings.

Just be thankful they didn't come around again.

Lets play guess the Country...

Which country choose to 'ignore' the Arms Control Treaty, walk out on talks regarding the enforcement of the Biological Weapons Treaty, abandoned the Kyoto protocol for Global Warming and the Anti-Ballistic Missle Treaty, refused to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (regarding Weapons of Mass Distruction), refused to sign the Convention on the Rights of the Child, didn't sign the convention banning anti-personnel landmines?

Did you guess Iraq, Iran, China, N.Korea?

No it's the good old USA. You've all gotta' be glad the George Dubya (a man who couln't spell &quot;Potatoe&quot is the the man with his finger on the button.


Sorry for the rant but my threapist says I'm making progress!

I don't know if it's true or it's an urban legend but I like to think it happened (helps me deal with my 'American-Issues!')


This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians:  Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

Americans:  Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians:  Negative.  You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans:  This is the Captain of a US Navy ship.  I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians:  No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans:  THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET.  WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE  DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT  VESSELS.  I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15  DEGREES NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians:  This is a lighthouse.  Your call.

That was Dan Quayle. F*ckwit though he was, he's several steps up the evolutionary ladder further than the present incumbent, George (How d'ya spell W) Bush.

The most powerful man on the planet needs instructions on how to wipe his arse - mind you, with the combination of the oil, car, NRA lobbies and last but not least one A.Blair crawling out of it I suppose it can get a bit tricky.

<font color='#0000FF'>Whilst attached to the US Marines in Saudi back in 93 they &quot;accidently&quot; dropped a bomb on our/their camp from a F-16.

The entire area (3km) was evacuated leaving only skeleton manning. I was a singley at the time, with no kids and volunteered to stay with the kit whilst everyone else evac'd.

Upon the all clear being given, everyone returned to duty. An american general then proceeded to award the skeleton crews with medals (freely available from their stores). Couldn't wear the feckin thing, so I sold swapped mine with a &nbsp;grunt for a nice camp bed.

No wonder these guys have so many of the damn things, apparently they get one for flying over Northern Ireland too!

At least we had the comfort of finding out that the bomb wasn't dropped but rather fell off!

Yanks are all hot dogs n coke IMHO
