On Mon, 26 Jun 2006 15:30:19 +0100, "Ian" Gave us:

The JSF will fit on anything. VTOL.

Weight of aircraft and supplies. Vertical landing, not takeoff with stores.

IIR the original gross tonnage was less than half a Nimitz class. Have you seen one of those ships? We had one come visit the Firth of Forth, it could not even get under the rail and road bridges. Rosyth is upstream of the bridges, so, no, the new carriers are not similar in dimensions.

Regards Ian

Well thank God you ain't in any position to do it!

But than the 3rd World, like the EU, would never make it.

I have looked into the UK's arsenal. It is said they would most likely blow up thmeselves if they tried to launch one.

Rich, interesting you support the leaders of Iran and North Korea. Are you so similarly afflicted?

Pfffttt !

I suggest you check the rate of the Euro or pound sterling against the US dollar before making any rash statements about 'making it' ! ;~)

Presumably a problem with those dodgy trident missiles you sold us ???? Never mind, the French make excellent rockets. We'll use them next time around. ;~)

I think he was simply suggesting something along the lines of " what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander ". The USA is behaving in a somewhat reckless manner in international affairs you know.

Apparently there's a huge display in some large centre of commerce somewhere in the US displaying the country's national debt - it recently ran out of digits!!!

The interest on the US's national debt is probably as much as many EU countries gross income!

The French rockets are just as good at blowing up on launch as anyone's! Most people these days go for a Russian launch vehicle.

And yet, we enjoy a much better standard of living here! We have luxuries you don't. like toothpaste....

Interesting times. Being the first Megapower so far ahead of the rest of the world allows new things. Besides, its not that crushing dictators is bad. We can afford it and, well, we aren't cowardly like others. Never will bow to tyrants.

Are those the rockets that drop the "We Surrender!" pamphlets?

We have toothpaste - its the blue laser whitening treatment that's beyond most peoples budget!

Just so long as the troops can halt the advance 'till the TV crews arrive........

You have it? Then why don't you ever use it?

You know, you guys whine alot about us taking out tyrants like Saddam, yelling over and over he had no WMD's, he is just a misunderstood guy. How quiet you are now that they have found those WMD's....
