As soon as I saw the paki convoy drive off with it I knew it was headed for China.
But some folks still say that the US-Paki relationship is all important and u need keep sending them F-16s.
How would you know that the convoy was not acting on behalf of the Americans and that the destination of this downed chopper is instead covertly heading to the States? Hey! Even with all of this commotion, I can’t believe the Pakis are not [covertly] in on this OBL operation. There’s nothing wrong in requesting that they remain anonymous over fears of reprisals from radicals? As a partner of the US, I can’t believe that Pakistan is not involved in the operation.
I KNEW IT !!
It won’t do them any good. In the US, we do not throw these things together. A lot of manufacturers build parts and then someone else puts them together. IOW a lot of people specialize in one aspect of the unit. Taking something apart and then building something like it denies you the chance to design it. I suspect that is why the Russians never got a carrier going.
