A-Bob...the French make the Exocets...remember the Falklands?

Ifty,

I would not quote my US friend if I did not believe him. He was 30 years a Marine top sergeant, and I never knew him to lie..so I take his word rather than that of the press and media every time.

I deal a lot with foreign goverments and their military (defensive) NBC requirements, and I believe very little of what they say or promise. Remember "the cheque is in the post"!!

As for the press...they are all manipulated, and only print what is considered politically correct. The story above (very abbreviated) was printed in the British press, on page 17 of the Sun I think, and got more in the NY Times (but how many people in Accy read the NY Times?). The Russian Government (and the French) did not want any adverse publicity, so.....................nothing much in the press.

As for proof, and not believing things until you see them with your own eyes!!! Ask Allah about that one....I've never seen him either .....or Jehova or God or Budda!!
