okay, well, i've told you at least twice and perhaps three or four times that the USMC bounced me for a minor medical issue. so, please, try to remember oh one of glorious and selfless service.

Ya ever see the Blackbird model fly? It's a shame that they didn't try and make it a fly n' glide model instead of a chuted model.

I used to sell the stuff (plus RC cars, planes, helis) etc at a Hobby Shop.

In either case. Gato - the specs are the same...it's a matter of scale and payload. Solid fuel 'engine', tube, fins, a funnel system for extra thrust and in the Palestinian case...a mish-mosh payload of whatever's handy that's likely to explode on impact with a solid surface...maybe packed with ball-bearings as well. Nothing to steer it and nothing but basic geometry for aiming.

Intent is another story entirely, but I don't think that I'm stretching when i say that their intent is to scare people and cause stress and political pressure rather than actually kill someone or take out a building.

the goblin. now that was a cool rocket when i was a kiddie. i took out the inner tube that held the engine, and stuffed an old "they don't make these anymore because they were too powerful" engine directly into the main tube. sumbitch went up about 50 and then just exploded. that ended model rocketry for me.

DAMN THOSE ISRAELIs!!!!


JERUSALEM – Hamas police in Gaza seized thousands of blankets and food parcels meant for needy residents, a U.N. spokesman said Wednesday, threatening to fracture relations between the international agency that cares for most of Gaza's residents and the territory's militant rulers.

Israeli Navy Intercepts Lebanese Ship Carrying Supplies to Gaza
The Israelis fired at the ship before boarding it and beating those on board, said reporters from Arab TV stations Al-Jadeed and Al-Jazeera who were on the Lebanese vessel.

This, I cannot back.
If these are indeed the facts, and no weapons involved, Israel US relations
should be very strained over this.:confuse2:

.:confuse2:
1. Grain of salt time, IMO.

2. If it's true they should be, but they won't. :shrug:
