    Czech president urges referendum on EU, NATO

    Apparently, the president is out on his own on this as even his own party's ruling government and prime minister, disagrees... "The Czech government has no intention of holding any referendum on European Union or NATO membership, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka's office said in a statement on...

    F-16s Likely To Be Manufactured In India

    I get your point but not all critical parts are from America. Turkey for example, refurbished PAF F-16's with new engines and parts that the Turks manufacture themselves. No such transfer of production, btw, has ever been extended to Israel.

    Malala and her family are now millionaires, claims a new report

    I don't believe that as I have seen her in interviews and speeches numerous times. She was clearly shot. One can see that readily in her physical appearance before and after the attack, as well as the news coverage of the event before anyone in the West even knew who she was. It is also clear...

    Falconry in KSA and the Arab world

    The use of drones by American falconers is becoming popular as well. I'll try to watch the video when I have more time. Thanks! :wave:

    Why Arabs lost all its wars to Israel despite outnumbering Israel in weapons and manpower?

    No offence, but I think he is correct. Why else would an Israeli Army unit have it and be so happy in displaying it? That certainly makes more since then that they just happened to have a large framed picture of President Sadat that they carried around with them. And I find it highly...

    F-16s Likely To Be Manufactured In India

    Europe (partial),Turkey, South Korea, and Japan, all manufactured the F-16 or derivatives of it. Turkey has manufactured over 300 F-16's alone. Israel tried manufacturing an F-16 delta wing derived fighter called the 'Lavi' but the project went nowhere and was soon concealed. As to Indian...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Nah, it just means they are politicians. You can't trust them in any country, as far as you could throw one. I calculate about 16 wins, a couple of draws and one clear defeat. Not a bad record. :usflag:

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    I hope there will be a revival in large part, because of the WOT. It's my heartfelt belief, (And I think that of many American leaders as well.), that while America and the West may be targets of Islamic extremest terror, the vast majority of it's victims are Muslims, not Westerners. The...

    Erdogan blasts Gaza flotilla that sparked crisis with Israel

    Still, between this, Israel deal, apology to Russia; a definite change of direction.

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Like I said, I don't think a President Trump can and would necessarily do that. For one thing, he has deep opposition in the Republican Party in Congress who view him (rightly!), as not really one of us, who has just hijacked our party. I do think though, that relations with most Muslim...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Like I said; Ignored. I could regale you with link after link, post after post, of Pakistan's involvement in it's ISI operations in other countries, Pakistan's support for the Taliban, other militant groups, Pakistan's long history of warfare...but I have learned that with people of your sort...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    No, because I don't take any post or poster seriously who plays the oh-so-tiresome, "all our problems are big, mean, ole', America's fault!" They day our CIA stops infiltrating those that seek America's destruction and conducting operations against them and the day that our military decides...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    I don't know what you mean here. I'm just stating what I think the political reality is. I'm saying that just as America's political stock has fallen sharply in Pakistan, Pakistan's stock has fallen sharply with America. I'm not addressing blame nor am I for it. It's just a statement of...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Personally, I don't think there should be one. I think it perfectly reasonable to say that the F-16's would be sold based on their 100% likely use against terrorists but should war break out between Pakistan and India, we certainly have no right to tell Pakistan that they can't use weapons in...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    I am very much in favour of it. Unfortunately, I got no response from anyone in my state's congressional delegation other than thanking me for my input and one from Sen. Risch saying that he disagreed with me and would be voting against any sale. Mine is definitely the minority opinion here...

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Quite true. If his were the prevailing opinion of most Pakistanis, I'm sure they would vote for a government accordingly, that would do exactly that.

    Doors open for negotiation with US on F-16 deal: Foreign Office

    Well, be we you do not mean your country's air force, the government of Pakistan as well as a number of other non-governmental organizations. It is the Pakistan Air Force that requested the F-16 deal, not the USA. It is the government of Pakistan that wants that deal, not most American...
