04 Oct 04 - 09:09 PM (#1288721) Subject: BS: Rocket Stretchers. From: The Fooles Troupe It appears that one of the Military Intelligence Agencies can't tell the difference between a Military Weapon and a folded Stretcher being loaded into the back of a UN Ambulance. 1) Military Intelligence - a misleading term? 2) If that is the best they can do with their superduper spying equipment, do we really want to let the Military run around with Live Ammo anymore?

Some grainy film footage of a suspect device being loaded into a UN marked vehicle. Was it a rocket launcher or was it a stretcher was the premise of the debate. Are the UN guilty of aiding terrorism was the question. Was the vehicle a mocked up UN vehicle? I think the answer was it was a rolled up stretcher and no they're not. Right back to Robin's shoulder, don't make any sudden movements I'm drinking hot tea. |

From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull I saw the piece of film that the original poster refers to, in my opinion it was not a rocket or rocket launcher. I have carried MILAN Anti Tank Missiles, they are heavy! the guy in the film was running and carrying the thing in one hand, this might happen in Rambo, but not in real life. |

05 Oct 04 - 09:40 AM (#1289146) Subject: RE: BS: Rocket Stretchers. From: The Fooles Troupe 1) I've heard of Milan, but not a MILAN! 2) What the hell is a MILAN? 3) Not so much who gave John one, but, what did he do with it, cause he apparently doesn't still have it now, or does he? When I was a kid, I always wanted a rocket powered stretcher! Robin Look out milk monitor, I think I'm gonna sneeze! |

06 Oct 04 - 04:05 AM (#1289964) Subject: RE: BS: Rocket Stretchers. From: GUEST,Keith A o Hertford I have carried Milans as well, but they are tank armour busting guided missiles. ( I also fired one live one JoHn) The Palestinians are using home made devices, lighter but still I suspect not as easily handled as the object in the film. |

06 Oct 04 - 05:26 AM (#1290007) Subject: RE: BS: Rocket Stretchers. From: The Fooles Troupe "Days of Penitence" !!! pen·i·tence Pronunciation Key (pn-tns) n. The condition or quality of being penitent; regret for wrongdoing. Synonyms: penitence, compunction, contrition, remorse, repentance These nouns denote a feeling of regret for one's sins or misdeeds: showed no penitence; ended the relationship without compunction; pangs of contrition; tears of remorse; sincere repentance. I thought it meant being sorry oneself, not making your sworn enemies feel sorry! ~~~~~~ Ah! Looks like the 'rockets' have turned back into 'stretchers' now again... I'm not sure I could ever again trust such oxymorons who try that sort of lie on - one could end up in a war in the Middle East, or believe that people might throw their children overboard! Robin |
