A-Q's response to Obama's presidency shows that they are desperately searching for a way to demonise Obama in the Muslim world, unlike G.W. Bush who was a perfect foil for their lies. Obama's response yesterday was masterful, in that he gave his first televised interview as president, to...

IMHO, I partially agree with Tomahawk6 regarding the poppy fields. But just as it is not enough to just kill the tangos, but to also rebuild the country, you must offer the poor farmer an alternative to opium, whether it be some other cash viable crop, or to licence some poppie growth for...

Interesting addition to the Canadian armoury is the Germany MG3 in the Leo 2A6M as the coaxial MG. WO Harju noted that the MG3 has a greater firing rate then the C6 (MG3 can be configured to fired between 900 & 1200 rpm depending on which bolt is installed vs 600 to 900 rpm for the C6 if I am...

I would like to congratulate the members of Canada's Tank Corp, for soon to be receiving the keys to a number of the finest MBT's in the world. I am sure that your crew skills will complement your country and protect the free world.  :salute: Enjoy, cheers. BM

We need to have patience, for our efforts to turn around this backward nation, to succeed. Unfortunately this goes against the present culture of fuzzy PC, right now, immediately gratify me. ::) Keep up the good work, cheers. BM

If the topic and question is still "Should Canada adopt the LAV III as its sole armoured vehicle?", then in IMHO I would say no. The LAV III is a good wheeled APC, but its limited off-road mobility and variants add very little to our armed forces ability to patrol and protect Canada's far...

Karzai arrives, avoids NDP's Layton By CP http://winnipegsun.com/News/Canada/2006/09/22/pf-1878388.html OTTAWA -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai arrived in Canada yesterday to help drum up support for the mission in his troubled country, but a meeting with the country's most prominent anti-war...

G. Galloway is a wanker that only gets re-elected because he panderers to all the Muslim conspiracy theories that Islamo-fascists would have you believe. He is a waste time.  :threat:

Here is an analysis from Debka, which due to the geography of this unfortunate conflict can be taken as a pretty good source. Hizballah Brings out Iranian Silkworm to Hit Israel Navy Corvette DEBKAfile Exclusive Military Analysis July 15, 2006, 1:37 PM (GMT+02:00)...

I can see the Italians winning this time. Their change of tactics under Lippy, along with their impressive defense will I believe be just enough to denigh the French. I did not see the France vs Brazil match, but the midfield work of Zidane had me thinking they would take the whole cup until I...

Definitely a good listen. I found some of the comments especially interesting. I will paraphrase; - DART is an expensive waste of time. Better to use CARE-Canada for the same purpose and in parallel use the military for security and transport to places the NGO's can not get to easily (of course...

Cody630, since you like using Google and are probable out of school for summer why don't you use the internet to investigate: 1. Why do the US Marines use the AH-1Z? 2. Why is it that the AH-1Z vs Apache would be a better fit for the Canadian armed forces? Can you answer these questions?  :)

Sorry GW but the hunting accident happened between the VP, Dick Cheney and a high priced Texas lawyer, Harry Whittington.  Regarding the topic, I believe that anyone that is of sane mind should be allowed to own whatever firearm they can collect as long as they prove they are knowledgeable...

Yes I agree both players from Costa Rica looked offside, but it would not have made a difference, Poland looked outclassed. Costa Rica could be a spoiler team they looked good except for the goalie. I think he is their weak link. If the D, lets the other team shoot at him like the Germans did...

Actually T, that has now been changed as a commentator pointed out. There are now 5 officials. The fifth official is a spare linesmen, as it had apparently happened in the past that the fourth official had to run the line, but was inexperienced as a linesmen. Now the game will have dedicated...

Not that England is my no.1 choice to win, but can you explain this comment? Perhaps Beckham would be a better poster child for this comment if you mean what I think you mean. ;D

Are not soldiers of two sides of a given conflict that are captured held indefinitely until hostiles cease?  I believe there have been historical instances where the captured soldiers have been paroled back to their sides even before hostilities have fully ended, but this was based on the said...

According to this story the average soldier with the help of the internet has more say and a faster response as to what the guys in theater need. This also apparently includes ideas of leadership, of which the opinions of the now infamous six retired generals that where heralded by the media...
