#1 Not another old French movie about Africa. Have we not seen this one before? EURO Union right? Congo, copper, gold, minerals, etc.? The EURO's manufacture big airplanes? How about telling them to use their own planes, crews, AVGAS, flight hours, cargo chutes, and the like? I hear we're BROKE !

#2 ...they're talking about closing commissaries and changing retirement computations again, yes we are broke. Won't stop the State Department from spending the DoD budget at a whim.

#3 Many commissary malls have pharmacies where active duty personnel and old geezer retirees can get prescriptions filled. Big Pharma and Kroger... no likeee. Not that another reason for closing commissaries is actually needed.

#4 So what sort of air cover will these transports get? first time a C-17 goes down or a 130, then we will hear all about the damned sequester....

how about we just dust off some hi time 141 airframes from the desert and let the Africans drive themselves.......

#7 Of course we have to attack the Christians to protect the Muslims. That's just the way the "Won" rolls.

Any talk of protecting Christians from Muslims?

Crickets seem plentiful this Dec.
