From what I'm seeing, even most Republicans would not be willing to commit the political suicide that voting for a second war would constitute.

TA Being?

TA stands for territorial Army lol sorry bout tht, as for blair u never know, he is confusing sometimes, i think it depends what mood he's in hahaha

Last time I checked we had ordered new Destroyers  for the RN but... forgot to order the weapons systems.

So christ knows what they'll do with carriers.

Anyway, the UK doesn't have the manpower to take any serious part in an invasion of NK.

[Gank]

hehe, like the WAH-64s you forgot to train pilots for.

[aldo_14]

Or the good old Eurofighter.

Or the still-delayed Clansman radio system.

Or the Challenger tank air-filters that failed in desert tests.

OR the boots that melted in hot weather.

Or windows for warships

Or ...... well, you get the idea.

[q]hehe, like the WAH-64s you forgot to train pilots for.[/q]

Hey hey, at least we have some.

[dan87uk]

yeah the eurofighter is a joke at the moment, there apparently doing a mk II already, but the wepons suck on it, the destroyers and  carriers are seriously low in numbers our tanks are quality now though but our soldiers usually dont have good enough weapons neither particularly when there given 1 clip of ammo for a machine gun that will use it all up in 10 seconds

[Gank]

Dont forget the guns the trigger falls off.

BTW it was India that signed an lng agreement with Iran worth 40 billion.

[dan87uk]

ah yes i forgot about that, also they get jammed by sand and other such things

yep, so do I.

In fact, I "love" it so much I want it to sink into the sea (along with some other nations I "love" very much)

@Gank: China too signed a deal with Iran.

[Turambar]

well it looks like someone in Iran knows what theyre doing

There is no way Bush will launch another succesful war (EDIT: I'm not saying Iraq was succesful, it was just the opposite). Just because Congress is republican, doesn't mean  they're suicidal. Launching another war at this stage will be suicidal.

[Taristin]

Bush has yet to launch a successful war...

[dan87uk]

Touche'

[Unknown Target]

I wasn't saying he's ever launched a succesful war, I was saying that if he launches this one, it wouldn't be succesful.
I phrased my statement wrong, sorry.

If only the US could lose a war without huge repurcussions for the rest of the world. It might bring them down to Earth.

I'm not really bashing the US, but I'm getting the feeling that the current man (I still have my doubts about the 'man' part) in office doesn't realize that the US is far, far, FAR from invincible. The war in Iraq alone is overstretching them. As UT already said, another war will be suicidal (and not only to the US I might add).

Yes, America is the most powerfull nation on Earth. Period. But an even bigger superiority complex is the last thing we need right now.

[Bobboau]

if NK starts anything, there lible to just get themselves nuked.

[vyper]

And what d'you think they'll do with their own weapons?

Edit: Allow me clarify what I mean. Your statement implies the concept of full spectrum dominance by the US military is real. I'm afraid to say it's not: Iraq has proven this, even the war itself has proven it - it's a pipe dream of some Pentagon generals hungering for the good old days when war was won by numbers alone.

[Corsair]

I refuse to go fight.

N Korea wages war on long hair

State radio programmes such as "Dressing in accordance with our people's emotion and taste" link clothes and appearance with the wearer's "ideological and mental state".

Tidy attire "is important in repelling the enemies' manoeuvres to infiltrate corrupt capitalist ideas and lifestyle and establishing the socialist lifestyle of the military-first era," the radio says.
