Well I seriously doubt Russians would try to move weapons already discovered and under IAEA seal. It is no secret the Soviet Union exported arms to most countries. Now, we have the pentagon which seems to have a different story each day on what happened to these explosives. First the russians took it.Then sat photos show that Saddam have moved them with trucks.Now they brought a US army specialist toward the media saying he destroyed most of them.  Very inconsistant and only afew days apart.My guess is the pentagon really doesnt know, or doesnt want to tell us that its in the hands of insurgents. With afew days before the election well see how this plays out.

There are many, many articles on this and you can find any which support your point of view.I am however very suspicious of this source, a DoD appointee, and any article from the Washington Times about ANYTHING related to ANY politically charged issue.Certainly seems to be no lack of modern, portable high explosives in Iraq.  Wonder where they come from?Thanks for posting that Cuda, otherwise I would have never seen it....it's good to ingest all points of view.Black 2

.....rgr,gents. I was not trying to support one point of view or the other as NONE of them seem to tell the truth. I have it from very reliable sources that the plastiques were lifted by aliens to be used to destroy the drilling rigs set up on Mars by Halliburton,Inc.....the pictures of the rigs that were discovered by the two Mars Rovers have been subjectively kept from the public by the black hole division of the Pentagon.....TX-CudaMinister of Information

...on a serious not...Gunslinger, see the video released by the ABC station that shows the GI's looking at the crates and containers of plastic?....next time you see it check out the spelling of explosive....there are two versions of the same word on the crate....TX-CudaMinister of Information

I have yet to see the video, but what is your overall opinions of how things are turning out on this issue of missing explosives?

[TX-Gunslinger]

Sorry Cuda, read in politics by reflex.....you know it's that bad time of year...I saw some more on it, after post.....They had that Major up there that said he destroyed a bunch of explosives of that type from that facility, but could'nt say if it was the same explosives as the reporter caught in the first video....I don't know.....I think the Major could have elaborated a bit further....would have helped clear it up in my mind anyway...On another topic, I'm mapping the bombsight controls for the first time....The A20 rocks dude!  I shot down fighters last nite in the Beaufighter...have'nt even tried the B-25 yet but I will.....I'm going digging in the Training archives to see if there's something on the bombsight controls (like what does distance and altitude and such do?  I can understand what left and right does...)As a professional military person, I just can't pass up stuff like Napalm and Frag bombs.......I'm going to work on my attack skills now that I can actually see throught the German gunsights, Air to Air has never been so easy.....Anyway I thought you'd be interested....This new PF ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Black 2

....Gunslinger, there is something in the forums past (here) that Kingsnake posted concerning setting up the bombsight from when we first started working with the HE-111. I am at work this morning making a little gravy overtime and am going to try and hunt down PF this afternoon....so hopefully I'll be online tonight in a new plane if I am successful!!TX-CudaMinister of Information
