Re: Israel shoots down an unmanned drone

i could only watch it on my phone on a small screen....the plane looked like a f-18 to me, but like i said it was very small screen and could be anything....i have never seen an Israeli hornet, never knew they had them if in fact it was a hornet.

They probably spent that 30 minutes deciding on how (and where) to take it down. More of a impact "statement" with a missile.

Had never heard of him. The chart above is just the first thing that came up when I googled 'US foriegn aid by country'. But it looks like an interesting read.

I'll give you the synopsis of Robert Fisk's curriculum vitae: The Arabs are victims, The Americans are all lazy-acquisitive crybabies who kill whoever inconveniences them, the Soviets weren't so bad, and the Israelis are all racist/fascists.

There's more of course but I tend to be windy.

I unknowingly crossed paths with him some years back at the fringe of empires. He's left-wing, sure, but his knowledge of the Middle East after thirty years of being there is extensive.

20 mike mike at 6k rounds per minute over a population center isn't the best idea. What's the rule about always knowing what your target is and what's behind it?
