Them Liberals Probably Short changed the Canuck Military again!!

[VOA]

Sympathy to the military personnel of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The liberal Canadian politicans aren't worthy of these folks.

[Finalapproach29er]

Five Canadian Air Force fighter jets.....
******
LOL

[monkeywrench]

Sounds like someone's pushing the canadistan govt. to upgrade their military. Their military certainly deserves better.

[Trueblackman]

Remember this would have happen to the U.S. back in the 1990's if Republicans had not gained control of the Congress and put a stop to the most evil of Clinton's plans for the military. If John Kerry gets in there expect this to happen to our military as well.

[AF68]

Liberal Kanuckistan spents a pitance on defense but has pissed away over $1,000,000,000 on their dysfunctional gun registry.

[Duchess47]

Who did they buy the KC 130 from? I understand that the subs that they had problems with were purchased from England but don't know that for a fact.

[yarddog]

I read not too long ago that Mexico City's police dept. is much larger than Canada's Army.

[bert]

The word is maintenance......

[Beckwith]

Can the military go on strike in Canada?

[commish]

HEADS UP!!! This is the US Armed Forces under Kerry!

[A.A. Cunningham]

the refuelling drone

That would be drogue. Maybe the IOL staff has been tipping too many Guinness during lunch.

[NorthOf45]

Question ... who provided the KC-130? The jets are identified as CF-18s. But, the nationality of the KC-130 wasn't. Who says it was a Canadian tanker?

[M Kehoe]

Why don't we just take over Canada and be done with it...Nova Scotia...Quebec...no, forget it, bad idea.

5.56mm

[BluH2o]

The five F-18s were en route from Saragossa in Spain to an Air Force base in Canada and were due to refuel in mid air from a KC 130 tanker.

Question is ... was the tanker a British, U.S. or Canadian KC130? It's not unusual for allied countries to fuel one another's aircraft ... the fueling bill is sent along to the appropriate party.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Bump!!

Happygal and Colosis, we have another Paddy on board - Black Line - is it me or we finally coming out of the closet?

Next thing we'll have a conservative party in this country!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Are the Irish Anti-War Movement going to start moaning about stricken Canadian jets and subs breaching neutrality?

I wish they were as worried about other parts of the Constitution of Ireland that's being eroded away by Brussels - the irony is; neutrality isn't even guaranteed under our Constitution.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

They haven't paid the Esso credit car and the tanker was dry.

[theFIRMbss]

"Okay, eh, so our topic is, how far can you go when it says 'E'?"

[Billthedrill]

Jeezlouise, we have boom failures all the time. It happens. Chill - the boys are safely down and tanked up. I mean, "refueled." No, thinking about it, "tanked up" might be right...

[i are a cowboy]

That should read the Canadian Air Force is force to land.
