Contemporary Wars

Oh ? So some can use it freely with me and - curiously- I'm not allowed to reply in kind ?

I grow tired of you constantly hanging on my boots. Get off and start moderating with an equal hand.

I have no time to read all the posts carefully, but blaming others they do the same thing is childish. The warning stands up for everyone, whatsoever, and I have nothing with you personally. I am confident that you can prove your point without using peiorativ or derogatory statements.

If you are tired then take a break, or go to other forum where nobody's "hanging" on your boots.

Oh well ... move on...

USA make stronger his Western Pacific region of interests:

First B-2s Deploy to Andersen


Source: US Air Force



"ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam --- B-2 Spirit bombers have deployed here for the first time to support Pacific Command’s security efforts in the Western Pacific.

More than 270 Airmen of the 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron deployed from the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., currently the only B-2 unit in the Air Force. They replaced the 93rd EBS from Barksdale AFB, La.

The 393rd EBS is the first B-2 squadron to deploy here supporting Pacific Command's continuous bomber presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The bombers enhance regional security and the U.S. commitment to the area, Pacific Air Forces officials said.

This rotation provides training to integrate bombers into PACAF's joint and coalition exercises from a forward-deployed location, they said.

“We feel that we have some great training opportunities out here,” said Col. Curtiss Petrek, 36th Expeditionary Operations Group commander. “One of the things we do a lot with the B-2 is fly missions that tend to be a bit longer than the average sorties that most of the aircraft fly. We'll get an opportunity to fly those types of missions and to really practice some of the command-and-control communication links.”

Besides training missions, the Whiteman bombers need to acclimate themselves to the differences of flying around here, Colonel Petrek said.

“The distances are so much further apart here, and if you are going to fly a mission, you need good command and control. It's important that everyone knows the systems you have, how they are to be used, and that they are used properly,” he said.

Although the 393rd EBS is the first B-2 squadron to deploy to Andersen, the pathway has been cleared for them by three previous B-52 Stratofortress squadrons, Colonel Petrek said.

“The transition here has been pretty easy primarily because the prior B-52 unit deployed here worked with us well in advance to make our transition go (smoothly),” he said.

The bomber squadron consists of a variety of maintainers to keep the B-2 up and flying.

“A large majority of us are maintenance specialists,” the commander said. “We have quite a few systems that require unique specialties so we have quite a few Airmen with some very specialized skills.”

The B-2 is distinguished from other bombers and fighters by its stealth capabilities and high aerodynamic efficiency, he said.

“Probably one of the key things that differentiate us from other aircraft is the low-observable characteristics of the airplane,” the colonel said. “(They give) the combatant commander an airplane to use in instances that other aircraft can't be used. This comes at some price, however, because it takes quite a bit of work to maintain those (characteristics).”

The B-2 commander said he expects the Airmen to make the most of their time here and to complete their mission as they have been trained to do.

“One of the things we put a lot of focus on is to be able to put the airplane over a target when we are told to do it,” Colonel Petrek said. “We practice and train to do those things (at Whiteman and now here) so if we are ever called to do it, we can do it and do it well.” "

28 "bad apples" in Afghanistan

Some of them have been sent to Abu Graib no doubt to share their precious "experience". Mind you, it's not even the leftie press. It's the press outlet of buddy dictator Musharaf.

well it sounds good from the william wallace point of view. remember braveheart? they may take my life, but they will never take aay my freedom!!!!!!!

it does not seem to work that way for the iraqi murdered victims

In a sense Bush is right : when you are dead you are definitively free

As for Braveheart, there is far too much of that 20th century freedom babble stuffed into it. I fear that in those times the issues were not so advanced. You would have to wait almost half a millenium before the freedom of the people has any weight facing the freedom of the nobles

some are still waiting...........

I've been thinking about this for a while....

Saddam's rule: 300,000 dead civilians in a 20+ year rule
Bush's 'Rule': 100,000 dead civilians in a 2.5 year occupation

Do the math, Bush so far is a worse killer than Saddam...

yeah. the worst thing is that bush has four more years to go.....that is a scary statistic.

voters beware! bush can be hazardous for your health.

Atleast you don't live in Texas though, I do! I live 10 miles from his ranch. I can't take a shit without hearing about what Bush is going to do at the ranch or in town that day. All of these inbred redneck hicks think he's god. Poor misled souls...
