Well there isnt much age difference between us. Anyway I dont get one thing. You say that you are in mid 30s and you ve been paying attention to foriegn policy since the Ford administration? Sorry man somehow I dont believe it. This would mean that you ve been intrested in politics since you were like 5 years old. Not possible or you are just missing the truth

Never say never. Four years is quite a long time. Besides its not a matter of believe its more like gee i know this neocons guys

Any ETA for AV8B?

FerretFangs, first you talk like Bush's thinktank and now you pretend to speak like sisy Clinton?? Sorry mate , neither I nor Bush dont give a damn if you do or dont wanna see US invading Iran. Basing my opinion on past experience and present long term policy and speaches of Republicans I really think that Bush will invade Iran in some time durring his second term. As I said thats their big goal. Spead democracy to middle east

You are talking like some idealistic guy. I m political analyst (got A.M. ) and all i m doing is analysing decidents and their process of decisionmaking. As I said, Republican long term international policy is to totally reshape middle east thus eliminating all regimes (Afghanistan's Talibs, Iraqi and nexy Iranian and Syrian). Thats their goal. They want to spread "democracy" as they call it and neocapitalistic ideas that would totaly change middle east. Sure they do it unilaterally cause Amway can only be spread unilaterally thus most gains would come to us economy. War is best bussines for a lot of people.

No I think what it needs is to get back on topic  Or maybe just split this one into offtopic subforum with "stealth technology" topic?

Why? This elections Reps gained a lot of seats in Congres. I think they have now biggest majority in decades.

Hell, even first Gulf War was unpopular and there were massive us and all around the world commies demonstrations, despite that Iraq atacked Kuweit Well, the answer is that in us gov nobody cares anymore. Thats the unilateral option that they stick to. I dont think that China or Russia would feel anything about it, cause China is more interested in gaining Taiwan (wich us involvment on several fronts may actualy help China to regain control over Taiwan) and as for Russia they dont give a damn about Syria cause they have more problems in Ukraine and Georgia. As for Iran, its also Russias pain in the ass. I think geopolitical situation is so complicated at the moment, that I wouldnt be sure about any conseqences. Besides, Iran has nuclear plants and Iranians themselves tell that they have nuclear programe. That can only make a case for US easier.

I think odds are very low and declining, especially afer G.W.Bush latest statment that Iran is his next target in war on terror and Syria is second. Oh in fact there can be more reasons as Iran has nuclear power plants and refuses to cooperate with IAA, this may help Bush and his neocons to actually find some "proofs of wmd". There is a method in this madness. President is on his second turn and he may take some risky decisions to reach his long term goal that is reshaping middle east and root out M.E. dictators and spread "democracy and freedom" as he states. Im sorry to say that but, Iranians made poorly in Iraq-Iran war, and I dont think much changed since. Besides Iraqi army was 4th largest army in the world prior to Gulf War and yet it was beaten up. Why should they? They have no bussines with Iran and they even sponsored Iraq in Iraq-Iran war. For Saudi royals , USA is a partner and Iran is just pain in the ass wich wants to spread islamic revolution by removing monarchs thus Iran is a threat. Would they? Iranians are not Arabs and muslim world is very divided, its not monolyth. That s not the point. Its only a matter of will. Take as example rebel groups in eastern europe after IIWW wich fought for 10 years with soviets, and yet Russians crushed all those groups. In 10 years time Americans may succeed in Iraq, but it s rather obvious that after war there are always resistance groups you have to deal with. The only things neccecery are methods and willingness to crush them. Hard to say if they would or would not be humiliated, but I m pretty much convinced Bush will take this step and give a green light for ops in Iran. Who knows maybe there are already plans of invasion in Pentagon

I ve never seen this guy. I guess thats because i lived behind iron curtain

Well, i m absolutely aware of this. Yea, but we are talking about F-117 lost over Srbija. BTW Vietnam was supplied with S75M "Dvina" and S75 "Desna" not Volkhovs durring Vietnam war Well, should I remind that Republika Cska is in NATO? :> So why, should stealth technology be obsolete? Besides you assume that Stealth is not under constant process of development.

This double one seven was lost in Kosovo war but it was shot down over Srbija. No. It wasnt shot down by small arms. F-117 fly on too high altitudes to be shot down by Tripple-A. It was shot down by Kub missile (holes in the fuselage were actually made by shrapnels from the missile warhead) fired on balistic trajectory. It was just dumb luck for Serbs that they shot it down or just bad luck for pilot I think you mistook Yugoslav troops with Russians. There were no russian units at that time in Srbija. It was only after cease fire agreement that russian forces came into Kosovo.

What can I say Oh I m sure there were such people. Although I think they were very few. Most people really hated Germans and I personally never heard of any women being involved in any relation with German soldier. No problem, I dont feel offended, It was just my thought.

Ok, but it still gets me wondered when it is going to be recognised generaly? Well, but we cant forget that there were French people who supported this government. I cant understand why after lost french campaign , french government didnt go to England as Polish did. Why they capitulated to Hitler? Yes there were heroes I have no doubt about it. But also there were some loyals to Vichy regime. :/ Hmm thats probably the right answer to my doubts, but then we have to remember that this monument will be seen by many people and will only settle this stereotype of allies without Poland. Ps. I would like to state here , that although i live in Poland I m Jewish but I will always remember sucrifice of polish people, who saved thousands of my people from Shoa.

Now you put something i never said into my mouth. Again, question is why this monument wich is going to be raised shows France as a part of antinazi colalition while it dosnt show Poland? Which country has more moral right to be shown as a part of coalition? And I m not talking about people, but I m sure there were more colaborators in France than in Poland (remember after the war public condemnation of french colaborators? like publicly shaving hair of women who sold themselves to germans? Sorry but it was you who first started this resistance discusion. Again I m asking why Polish people and Poland are not honoured on monument but French are? But others did. Bah, there were even some who helped to deport french jews. Sure, there were also resistance and non colaborators, but the point is that France represented by Vichys regime was colaborating country even though there were people who braverly fought nazis. Sill my question is, why on this monument there are no Polish people among the allies? Keep that bollocks to yourself and please do not put it in my words. I wrote about France wich was colaborating under Vichy. You cant change it but France was a country and Vichys government was recognised and even some french soldiers fought against the allies in Africa, cause to say the trueth De Gaulle was not so well known and popular in France at the begining of the WW2. Taking apart la resistance, there were no other significant fighters than De Gaulles Free French. It was just mentioned :P. I m not historian. Not only yes. Finally you answered my question. I dont know in numbers of how many people France lost, but sure it didnt loose as many as Russia (20 mln?) or Poland (6 mln, including 3 mln out of 3.2 mln polish jews). And that is why i still wonder why there are no Poles on this monument.

Yea and so did Poland, but there was no polish colaborator regime!! Cant you see that? La resistance? Sure but Poland had also as big if not bigger resistance and yet she is not on the monument!! De Gaulle's Free French? Sure, but more likely from 1941. Anyway Poles fought nazis constantly since 1939 and they didnt colaborated. Shall I remind that there are no Polish soldiers on the monument :P. Well i did it for some time at univ True, but then why France is on the monument while we can say that they had colaborating regime until liberation of Paris? Sure they deserve it but Poles deserve it even more dont you think? Poland was first victim, was turnet into rubble by nazis, Poland became jewish graveyard and yet they are not remembered in this monument. Dont you think there is something wrong?

Jolly good flare dispenser!! GJ mate!

MosNews Strange. Why France?? They were nazi colaborators under Vichy regime. But why there are no polish soldiers victims of first nazi agression, who fought nazis on all fronts from uk, africa, italy, france up to ussr?

You mean the vulture

Yea I think this is what this russian newspaper wrote about. There isnt much info on this site. Mostly stuff about map (karta) like places, towns, addons and system requirements. Allthough when I read things like "bolshaya chechnia" (great chechnya) it gets me scared and brings into my mind ghosts of nazis (great reich :/).

Maybe thay have? Or maybe they are terrorists/chechen bandits and they dont want to?

you can always config a button in the stick as zoom\target selector (TAB in original settings) Â Yes i have it done :P But i use my mouse to designate targets wich are not stright on my flight path . I can move my head and designate targets even if they are on the side

I use joystick for flying aircrafts and mouse for selecting targets. This is really deadly duo!!

Well you are talking about space shooters not space sims There used to be great space sim many years ago and I think it was named Space Shuttle, where player was able to fly real space shuttle from lift off to landing, including manual entering into atmosphere (it was awsome )
