Subject: RE: BS: Six Day War 50 Years On
Apologies "Submit" pressed inadvertently:

Ah Jom so you have to go back five years and even then you have got it completely wrong - AGAIN. Said it before, I'll say it again - You suffer from having the ability to read without having either the intelligence or the ability to understand what it is that you have read.

You want an example - you six differing reasons for defending selling ammunition to Syria
You finally settled on that the weapons Syria used did not suit the ammunition sent DESPITE HAVING PREVIOUSLY DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF THE ORDER AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT AT NO TIME HAD THE ORDER EVER BEEN SPECIFIED IN TERMS OF AMMUNITION SIZE - SHEER INVENTION ON YOUR PART

Let me rip this piece of nonsense of yours apart shall I?

1: I have never defended selling anything to Syria - what I have done is blow holes in your biased, bigoted Anglophobic attacks on the British Government that are a complete and utter misrepresentation.

2: NATO use standard sizes of small arms ammunition no company in the UK makes small arms ammunition that could be used in Russian, Chinese, former Soviet or former Warsaw Pact weapons. The Syrian Army and Police use Ah Jom so you have to go back five years and even then you have got it completely wrong - AGAIN. Said it before, I'll say it again - You suffer from having the ability to read without having either the intelligence or the ability to understand what it is that you have read.

3: A NATO 7.62 x 51mm round will not fit into an AK-47 which fires 7.62 x 39mm ammunition because the NATO round is 12mm TOO LONG for the chamber of an AK-47 - Pretty self explanatory Jom but if you are too bone thick to grasp the concept try pouring a quart into a pint pot, perhaps then you might just get the idea.

4: WHAT ORDER??? Of course I deny that there ever was an order. If you state that there was an order placed by the Syrian Government presented to the British Government then please provide some evidence of it.

5: What WAS applied for by a private individual (Note that Jom a private individual NOT the British Government) was an export licence - NO ORDER. This private individual sought to sell £30,000 worth of ammunition to Syria in 2009. The Export Licence was issued - there is no evidence at all that any ammunition was ever shipped. ALL export licences relating to goods going to Syria from the UK were revoked in the Autumn of 2010. Your contention was that:

a) The British Government had sold weapons to Assad in Syria
b) That those weapons were being used to kill civilians in Homs in March 2012.

Total fabrication on your part driven by your bias and bigotry.

6: The size thing - ever embraced the concept of rational thought Jom? UK has/had more 7.62mm ammunition in 2009 than it knew what to do with. A hang-over from when our standard infantry weapon the L1A1 SLR fired 7.62x51mm ammunition so that was what we had most of that we now no longer needed in such quantity - fair to logically and rationally think that it would be the surplus that would be sold off, as opposed to the stuff our soldiers actually needed over in Afghanistan.
