US has been airlifting Georgian troops from Iraq to Georgia.It would be wise of Russia not to get in the way of US planes.It would be nice if both side just stopped the BS and withdrew to pre-conflit borders and waited for some sort of international ruling on the matter.All thats gonna happen now is revenge for the previous days attaks and it will just go on and on with the civilian population suffering the most.

Russia at the very least is being very hypocritical.It must be tough have ones country fall from being to superpower to a 2nd rate economic state.the Russian people are a resiliant bunch and are used to oppression and hardships that few in the west could endure.Unfortunaly that makes them less likely to anger when their goverment takes away freedoms or stiffels any sort of Freedom of the press.

Hell same situation I would lie too,my point was after Edwards wife was aware they both were publicaly dening it.Now it's embaresing and all but the fact he didn't realise that the world was gonna find out and yet he continued to lie shows he's not that bright.The guy made millions sueing doctors into the poorhouse with lies and junk science so I guess an affair is no biggy to him.The thing he didn't do was lie under oath that was Clinton and Martha Stewerts undoing.It tends to piss off the Feds when you lie to them.

The majority of the world are not scum but are hard working and decent people,you only hear about the bad.The segment was about John Edwards cheating and lieing about it.It would make sence that they would try to keep it on topic.With so many news stations going 24 hours there is more than enough time for every story.They only divert addtention to thingss when they don't feel like answering a question.The reason the story was important was Edwards is on Obamas short list for atorney general so anything he does is under a microscope.I also find it amusing that when George Bush makes a mistake he's Hittler reincarnated but when some liberal icon does he's just human.

What the game really needs is to have a patch that decreases aircrft frequency acording to dates.have the planes beless common early and late in their careers

Your conversion to the dark side is almost complete

That is a cool link thanks.On a side note how the hell did that guy fit in the Pilatus P3 cockpit?

After I read a few of my posts I realised that some sniping on my part was done.While I stand by my opinions I could have been more diplomatic in the execution.If my attacks(not opinions) offended anyone I'm sorry.maybe a lack of sleep and a few beers isn,t good for a debate.

jsut yesterday I was looking for Jag skins,excellent timing and an excellent job.

"Just saw a Georgian citizen interviewed on the BBC - who happens to be in London - knew nothing about the situation over there whatsoever so was just shouting off based on his emotions - as you can imagine it was " Russia is doing this/that - they want a new Soviet Union etc blah - NATO said they would protect us - they must do something now regardless!"" herein lies the problem both sides represented in this argument here are guilty of this.both sides in reality have greipes and they should have been settled in a more civilized manner.Georga should have used more diplomatic means and russia should not be using the situation to justfy a land grab.I would expect nothing less than the Russian members of the forums to support Russian interests.It is after all their country and to root against ones own country right or wrong is somthing I believe is unique to liberal America.As I have said 10,000 times.If when that facts are out I'll form a permanent opinion on the issue but I just think too many people are just listening to what they want to hear or what they are forced to hear.Maybe i'm just spoiled because in America like it or not we have an independent media and we ,if we want to and are open to it ,can find the truth.

"Fox News is comparable " Whatever dude.LOL it must be a cute little world you live in. As far as state run censorship...hmmm purges and arrests due wonders for media truth I guess.Please to compair a mistake you read about on some biased and obviosly ignornt web page with wholesale distrtion is laughable.believe what ever you want it dosn't effect the way things are just the way you percieve them.

Imagine how bad things were 100 years ago when all people had to go on was what they were feed from their own goverments.At least today we(well half the world) have a global community that can share Ideas and points of view independent of their goverments.

I'm sure the BBC and CNN will report once the facts are confirmed.Russian TV is just saying what the state is feeding them.EEEHHH I never thought I would ever say that about CNN. They may be right I'm not argueing that. the point I'm making is if your ONLY basing your opinon on what is in the Russian media then your not really getting the whole story or facts.

I have to agree Edwards really let a lot of people and his family down.

one problem....Russian TV lol.

That J-8 is awesome.

Is it me or does he look a bit like a 50 year old Adam Sandler.

"RUSSIAN ARMY SAVED 80 000 peoples S-Osethians nations from PHISICALLY elimination. I alltimes seen on Russian TV horrible pictures of destroyed houses, more death bodies on the streets, and escaped peoples, whos talk horrible things about georgians soldiers." Weather or not this is happening to believe it only because it's on Russian TV is really scary.I'm not disputing wether it's true or not I would only believe it if it is independently confirmed.Any information on Russian TV is to be treated as highly suspect.You'll only see or hear what the state wants you to see.Any first year film student can re-edit footage to show what ever point of view they want. Also it seems the UN will introduce a condemnation of Russian over these actions and then we will see Russias actions.If they keep up the fight after Georga has called for a cease fire and withdrawn and now the UN calling on the Russians to stop.If they don't the world will know whats up.if they do and they withdrw too then they may have noble motives.but if tens of thousands stay then ocupier rather than peace keeper is a more likely tag to hang on Russia.

"We need, I think, no comment about how the georgia must pay fro breaking the olympics" the Olympics are a sporting event and a TV show.I don't think wars should be scheduled around it.The olympic games are cute and important to the atheletes but after that they are just entertainment and a little bragging rights for nations.Sometimes they are used for propaganda.No one needs to pay for anything....geeez millions are spent on the games while wars and famine are going on around the globe if anything it's just diverting attention from important issues.This next statement isn't directed at anyone in particular but if the onlyway I can feel good about my country is to wait 4 years to win a soccor match then it would be better to spend the energy fixing my country

"You are right but international law is another thing that seems to be banded about conveniently to suit some - although it wasnt used as much before going into Iraqs internationally reconised borders I must admit " difference was Iraq was in violation of 16+UN resolutions and the UN voted that if Iraq didn't comply there would be dire consiquences.The UN faltered with the follow thru but the vote had been made,I remember no vote granting South Ossetia independence or any resolutions passed granting them protection.Completely differnt situations and not comparable.that said I'm not arguing that georga is inocent and they may well in fact be doing terrible things,the issue is the international community hasn't ruled and Russia is using the situation to further their own ends.It would be more akin to Southern New Mexico trying to leave the USA.there is a large ethnic mexican population and they were part of mexico as recently as 150 or so years ago.you'd be dead wrong if you said we didn't have a right to destroy any threat to the union and if Mexican troops entered South New Mexico to help the seperatist there would be a hell of a lot of dead mexican "peacekeepers" and rightly so.

while I won't dispute what you have said I believe it may be true,I also believe Russia has ultrier motives for their action and it's not a noble one.they have been sabre rattleing for a while now and this situation just plays into Russian plans.Weather or not Georga is the agressor they are a much lesser threat to Western european and American intersests than Russia is.I'm not very knowlgable in the area but unless the UN or some other body previpos to the Russian "peace keepers" intervention recognized the breakaway region as legitament then Georga has every right to exert control in a region that is technicaly theirs.Puttin and his pupet are just as if not more corupt as the Georgan goverment.I really believe that with no good guys directly involved in the situation intenational law should be the judge and as far as I can see untill some independent body(UN) declares South Ossetia a legitament independent nation Georga has a right to reestabilish "order"These are opinions based on my limited knowlede so if anyone has any facts to add to my understand please let me know I have no trouble changing my opinion in the face of new information.The key pointr seems more like Russia being upset having a US ally and a posible NATO member so close.Russia may be a lot different than the USSR but Russia has for hundreds of years been overly paranoid(sometimes rightly so)of their neibors.

this brings back memories.The first 2 downloads I added to SFP1 were Monty's SPAD and AD's Su-17.I can't remember the order but to this day the Su-17 is one of my favorites.I still fly the Hunter alot too,excellent stuff that stilll looks good even all these years latter.Thanks AD.

"Or how Winni Churchill said, " I trust only the statistics that i have forged myself." you sure that was Chrchill?I could have sworn that was the MSNBC motto.

"Also Sarah Brightman singing...good on yer girl." I'll take or leave the olympics but Sarah Brightman rules!
