Wonder when we are going to come out? I do not like this. Now that you said that I am going to look into that. Take care!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-29384116492501305782012-03-20T11:35:27.185-07:002012-03-20T11:35:27.185-07:00They move those damn things around so much.

Always thought the refueling tankers fly from Diego Garcia would be the tip off but who knows any more.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-65026465477882384022012-03-20T09:31:44.299-07:002012-03-20T09:31:44.299-07:00First off I thought everybody knew that we had 3 c...First off I thought everybody knew that we had 3 carriers in that part of the world. They've been there for several months.<br />Second I wish we'd stop spending billions trying to develop the ultimate weapon. That laser is easily defeated with some simple foil. Also depends on weather conditions.<br />Third the defense systems such as "patriot missiles" aren't as accurate as once thought. Only about 30% effective after a review. Even the stealth helicopter didn't hold up in Pakistan.<br /><br />I'm sure you saw the report that Russia had sent an anti terrorist team to Syria although I can't confirm that yet. And I'm now finding out that the reason we can do little to help Syria is because NATO is stretched so thin that it can't cover home countries and fight another war. NATO barely managed to cover Libya.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
