Wow. Thanks for that aspect. I had wondered about the communication part.

The only thing that changes the nature of man is Jesus Christ. The Book of Revelation pretty much sums up the future for mankind (in my view). Yep, one world government (as it seems to be where you are coming from) then the end shall come. If you think the nations of the world are going to come together in peace and harmony, yes, it will temporarily happen. However, it won't be based on the goodness of man's heart. It's roots will be based in evil.

Some can change things faster and more powerfully than others. Actions have consequences.
P.S. Your tag-line suggests an association with large underwater creatures. Can you arrange a few of your mates to go and help lift that troublesome Yellow, sorry...Red Submarine up to the surface ?

" But, there is no recording of second and third party reselling, is there?"
Aaaaah I can breath. Seriously, all I have read, including lists of what we sold them (our companies, which would include your legitamate question per above), indicates we sold them no weapons of any sort. The Russians, French, Yogoslavia, Bulgarins, Italians, Germans, N. Korea, Chicoms, and other fully equiped them over the years. We where no even selling them various grades of nuclear fuel. We did as everyone else by their oil. The Bell Choppers we sold them where meant per signed agreement only for commercial use. Of course they turned around and modified them for defensive use. I wish I could get the rather all inclusive list I saw at this site about a year back, when this issues was raised and got a lot of attention. If you think about it for a momnent don-o, what American manufactured weapontry, ordnance etc., has ever been found in Iraq. I think the answer is. Nothing. Surely the L/MSM would have made such a big deal over it many of us would have memories on the matter. But your off the hook. Hey I remember in the dim past reading crap that turned out not to match up with the reality of things as far as us equiping them with hardware. Iran. Now thats a different story. We sold them jets, hardware, avionic upgrades, trained their pilots etc.. But that was so that the Shia could keep a status quo in the ME.
Shame he turned to be a real bastard. We could have had a westernized friend in the ME for a long time.

Good for the Brits, but remember, they used a U.S. undersea robot that they bought from us.

"Do you know Cultural Jihad?"
I'd like to know if you have anything else to talk about or ask you share your vast knowledge with policy makers in DC. NOT Freepers who, like most Americans, are able to put politics/religion on hold when lives are at risk.

That's the great thing about robots.
"Dear Mr. Northrop; We regret to inform you that Scorpio 23 was lost in action in the Pacific Ocean. Scorpio's service was in the greatest traditions of honor and the United States Navy. However, Scorpios 24-30 finished the job and are in perfect working order. Please send a replacement robot at once."
Much, much better than the other letter a CO has to write when there are losses.

To: DevSix
Devsix, you have encouraged me to go through your old posts back to our original discussions and I will revitalize those. The original post DID have something to do with CJ, as you posted to another individual who tried to say that I was wrong about him/her. Go back and read it.
