You mean firing a test cruise missiles over Northern Europe and getting it to a test site in Southern Russia does not involve any fly over of said missiles over Europe?

Quit changing your statements, Destro.

What you said, and I quote you directly here was:

By the time NATO scrambled its jets, the bombers fired several cruise missiles at targets in Southern Russia. The missiles flying overhead European countries (especially the UK) during insane U.S. General Clark's request to take out the Russians from Pristina airport sobered everyone up.

Now then, I challenged you on this statement, especially the portion highlighted in red and pointed out that nowhere in your linked article did it support your statement.

Just to make things crystal clear, here is what your linked article states:

Russian news agencies reported that the planes were on a 15-hour flight that took them across the North Pole. Col. Alexander Drobyshevsky was quoted by the ITAR-Tass news agency as saying the planes fired cruise missiles and hit targets in southern Russia. U.S. defense officials said the planes were not armed with active missiles.

Note, the Russians said their planes were flying over the North Pole and fired their cruise missiles, which we say weren't carried. Whatever - from the North Pole, it is over Russian territory that any missiles would fly, not over the U.K.

Unable to support your statement, you merely blustered it off, and now you have the temerity to lie about what you said.

Ergo, you lied, couldn't back it up, and now you are lying about it further.

How deep are you going to dig yourself in here Destro?

And please take note - it is not my responsibility to refute your lies with positive proof, it is your responsibility to back up your statements - I cannot explicitly prove the negative that none of the 19 hijackers were Bosnian, nor do I have to - I merely have to point out that you cannot support such an assertion, watch you bumble about trying to dissemble rather than address your fabrication, and voila, having utterly failed to support your statement you get exposed in yet another lie.

Did you demand of your math teachers to disprove your wrong answers in this same manner? Simply, the world just doesn't work the way you think it does.

I already proved it. See my post above. Why was info gathered on one of the 9/11 terrorists by the UN's Yugoslav kangaroo court? Since they only gather info on criminals within the former Yugoslav states and all. And again, plot a course from Iceland to Southern Europe with a ruler and tell me what nations a cruise missile needs to overfly to get to target. But then any post that shows how incredibly wrong the Kosovo mission was and how it hurt national security sends you into a tither, doesn't?
