Unfortunetly it might be a Caliph in another generation or two.

. . . and since it was made by Fiat, they probably won't start and have a rust problem too. (You do know that Italian engineers invented rust, and licensed the process to Fiat?)

Of course you know what Fiat stands for, don't you? (Fix It Again, Tony). :)

we need Dick Vitale on the play-by-play

"We would be hearing about it for years if we were throwing teddy bears at them."

Well, now I have a Dr. Pepper slathered monitor.

Here's another specimen...

Good for the British!

I feel like a cheerleader today. Go, fight, WIN!!!

[Redbob]

"A very astute observation......but we'd really be in trouble if we were only hurling insults."

In trouble?
No, we'd be in France!

[jjm2111]

T55's??? Those poor SOBs. That's sort of like trying to take out a F-22 with a Messerschmitt.

[BartMan1]

if the fish are shooting back, I don't think its likely any body's gonna lose any sleep over the buggers...

[Leatherneck_MT]

May as well put a Tiger II up against an M1A1 as a T55. The result will be the same.

[Darksheare]

I still like the .50 cal armed SUV's vs the Abrams.
THAT was worth a chuckle.

"That Teddy Bear's Dynamite!"

[AnAmericanMother]

As we used to call them in the arson investigation field, Crispy Critters.

I would feel sorry for them, but I don't feel sorry for anybody who approaches under a white flag and then comes up shooting. Let 'em burn.

Hey! That little baby is just down the street from me.

[m1-lightning]

Curious about depleted uranium bullets?

Thanks for posting this good news.

This must have been a Turkey shoot for our great Brit allies: The regular Iraqi Army T-55s charged south towards 3 Commando Brigade on the Al Faw peninsula.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Brit BUMP!

Way to go!!!!

[thoughtomator]

Yeah the first thing that came to my mind was the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. This is a version of that with tanks instead of fighter planes. It has to be an enormous waste of resources for a country to try using tanks against us.
