| [Iran Press TV] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s remaining on the UN’s violators of children rights blacklist would have jeopardized the delivery of 24 US AH-6i Little Bird attack helicopters to Riyadh. On Wednesday, American multinational corporation Boeing announced that it would start delivering the choppers, being built at a production plant in Mesa, Arizona, to Riyadh by the end of the month. The AH-6is are capable of being armed with Hellfire missiles, rocket launchers, miniguns, and machine guns. Boeing was given the $234-million military contract in August 2014 by the US army. The delivery of the attack copters was thrown into uncertainty last week as the UN released the Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) report which said the Saudi coalition was responsible for 60 percent of child casualties in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... last year, when it killed 510 children and injured 667 others. |

| #2 One could have the best ship in the world, but without a well train crew its only a high priced bit of unearned pride. As the Argentine's found out with the Bienticinco Demayo (sp?) when you put all your pride in one warship (or even a couple) you don't dare have it leave harbor lest it be sunk. |
