Hamas leader killed

[Virgil]

Apache
Comanche
Tomahawk
Thunderbird
Kiowa
Blackhawk
Chinook
Cayuse

Demon's right.

I don't have a source but it is an Army tradition to name helocopters after indian tribes.

Yes, it turns out that most of them are, although Blackhawk the chief, not the tribe, was the eponym in that case.

It seems the Cobra AH is the exception.

 

[demon]

Actually, I`d like to ammend my original post....I realise that there are hundreds of weapons/weapon systems out there....just seems that the best known ones all seem to have names relating to Native American tribes and things connected with them in myth or reality.

It seems the Cobra AH is the exception.

Not quite; the AH-1 Huey Cobra is a derivation of the UH-1 Iroquois whose nickname, Huey, was so popular it was kept as the part of the official designation of the new machine.

Cheers

American, I'm appalled at you. Just a cursory glance at the vehicle and I can tell that he WAS smoking. At least until someone patted him out, that is.

I was going to post that.

Me too, and I'd like to thank Jocko for removing the temptation.

Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi : "If it's cardiac arrest or an Apache helicopter, I prefer to be killed by an Apache"

I think Rantisi knew when he said it that any leader of Hamas knows that they can forget about worrying about their cholestrol levels.
It is funny how much of the US arsenal is named after the indigenous tribes that they mostly slaughtered before expanding overseas.

What a truly inane and irrelevant comment, not to mention true to form.

Cleopatra:
"This is what happens to those who F**** around with us and spill our blood in the streets. Sorry. I wonder who will have the guts to take the leadership of those murderers now.

The democratic Europe will mourn for poor Randisi... *sigh* What a tragedy."

So again, Israel is above international law, can act as judge, jury and executioner and that`s just fine. You really can`t see the problem with that? And you say you are a lawyer? Well, I think the jury is still out on that one.
What I particularly dislike about this passage of yours is your complacent pride in killing by the Israeli military. It's a short step from expressing a grim delight in inflicting death to just doing it in an uncontrolled way - and that step has been taken by the Israeli military. In this respect, your own behaviour gives insight into the murderous behaviour of the IDF.

I think that I will let you go for what you posted above demon because I see the time stamps in your post...

Let him go? I was just thinking that to earn the contempt of the likes of Demon has got to feel like a compliment.

 

[demon]

Go ◊◊◊◊ yourself Mycroft, there`s another compliment for you.

It feels better than that. It feels like victory.

Only in your dreams Mycroft, only in your dreams

So when is Hamas going to strike back? Israel should have done that long ago.

*Beats head on keyboard after reading this thread*


Do any of you people realize that Hamas is the only form of a deffense, the only form of a millitary that Palestine has?

Years of imperialistic aggression from Israel have made the mess that exists now.

Is that the best that you can do?

A large amount of pictures to prevoke an emotional response.

Sickening, escpecially if you realize that most of the fault lies with Israel and not Palestine.

Not a compliment. A badge of honor. As in "judging from the way he is howling, I must have hit a nerve".

I don't see how recruiting five year-olds to blow themselves up as shahids counts as a "military", or how sending suicide bombers to blow up babies in restaurants counts as "defense".

How about the Hamas' consistent declerations that its goal is wiping israel off the face of the earth and butchering all the jews? Is that "defense" or "military"?

How about the fact that if, instread of "defending" themselves with waves of suicide bombers, the Palestinians had accepted the 2000 deal (or the 1967 one, or the 1979 one, or the 1938 one, or the 1947 one) they would have had a state by now?

Apparently, having a Palestinian state is secondary to "defending" themselves by slaughtering jews.

That's a blantant lie. The mess that now exists is the fault of Jordan, Egypt and the other fascist arab states that started a war against Israel.
