STORY (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7352654.stm).
Well, I never knew it, after all these years thinking that those Capatalist Pigs from the Great Satan, or those Cunning Comunists (former) or the Chinese Forces (couldn't think of anything to go with that) had the strongest military and were the World's most powerful nation!

Shame a vast proportion of their armour is sat in compounds in Western Terhran rotting away...hardly in any state of readiness.

I would have thought that the use of F-4's was more likely to result in a breach of the Kyoto Protocol on emissions than anything that might be covered by the Geneva Convention.

Official media claimed the ceremony included the largest ever show of aerial strength, with a fly past by almost 200 aircraft.
I'm guessing these media officials weren't watching on the opening night of TELIC 1 then :} Still, it's always nice to have a bit of undemanding light entertainment on a Saturday afternoon after lunch!

Arent their F-14a's working off bits they found off an old Ford Cortina?
How long would the UK last if it went toe to toe? Barring Nukes and current commitments and any external help?

They've got that ''Comical Ali'' fella on a retainer.
Should be good for a laugh when downtown Teheran's getting a bit noisy.

I've always wondered what happened to Comical Ali.

I've always wondered what happened to Comical Ali.
AFAIK he is living in Jordan on a nice little earner, probably still waiting to repel the Imperialist invaders who weren't in Baghdad. Not at all. Ever. Not even a little bit. And no US tanks were there either..................

Perhaps he is suggesting that he has caps' other than some rather old US fighters and rusting FSU armour..... just a thought !
