Re: Miss South Carolina... Caitlin Upton...

True, I hare to say it, but I must tell the truth... She could probably talk me into believing the shortest 'straight line' course from the UK to the Falklands crossed Venezuela!

At least... until the next morning!

You guys are clearly not fathoming the goegraphic situation here. The path from England to the Falklands passes Venezuela to the east. No where did I say it crossed over Venezuela. It happens to come close enough to Venezuela for the new SU-30s that Venezuela has purchased to interdict that path and keep the Brits from safely traveling down there along that path.

If you cannot graps that, I am sorry, but that has been the point of the discussion from the beginning and no amount of insults or ignorance regarding those facts will change them.
