Piloting an AC-130 Spectre

I assume that the C-130 pilots have a little help with this maneuver,
but I don't know for sure how they do this.


I'd be willing to be the autopilot is tied to the fire control computer

I notice you didn't take issue with any of my assertions.

...Just as you chose not to address any of Jay's actual questions.

I just thought Mr. Honeck might want to know that what he wrote was
incorrect. Does he really need you as a spokesman?

As usual, you take any opportunity to spout anti-Bush/anti-military rhetoric.

If you choose to infer that from what I wrote, it is you who is
characterizing the situation that way. I merely stated the facts as I
believed them to be at the time.

And why do you see calling Mr. Bush 'erudite as being anti-Bush?

Really, it's OK.

So now you're giving me your approval to exercise my right to free
speech? Please.

It's part of your persona we've come to expect.

Who are among the group you refer to as 'we'?

The Ethiopians can conduct weeks of warfare with the perfect ability to
discern friend from foe, but let the US engage in *one* airstrike and the
widows and orphans are coming out of the woodwork. Are you really that
gullible, or do you just hate this country?



" Sadly, your assertion about obliteration is not true. From what I've
heard so far, only _ONE_ confirmed Al Queda member has been killed
despite over 100 deaths there at the hands of the US military
presumably under orders of their commander, the eriadite Mr. Bush. :-(

Welcome to World War III.

I'm not spouting any idiocy; I'm reporting the facts as I understand
them to be.

It is you who should consider the words of a wise man who's quoted

Oh I forgot; Mormons don't follow his teachings. They are polygamists
who believe their special underwear is fundamental to their faith. :-)

If you infer hate in what I wrote, that says more about you than me.
I just speak the truth.

You just can't face the truth. Think about it for a while. Perhaps
when your anger subsides, you'll see that my comments are _factual_.

Yours, on the other hand, are the _subjective_ opinions.

You have a lot of nerve telling me what I believe. You do not speak the
truth. It is you that cannot face the truth. You have made unfounded
generalizations about me because of my religion. That constitutes
bigotry. I am not a polygamist. The term "Mormon" properly refers to
members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, none of
whom are polygamists. Polygamists are excommunicated from that church.

Mormons are Christians and we do believe that we follow the teachings
of Jesus Christ -- all of them, not a few selected for personal or
political convenience. Your saying otherwise is a deliberate
misrepresentation.

I would no more make fun of a man's underwear than I would a cross, a
crescent, or any other sacred symbol. I would consider that bigotry.
You are a bigot who cannot face the truth about himself.

So, you have deliberately misrepresented my religious beliefs on three
counts and you have been called on it. And yet you accuse me of having
subjective opinions. You want to keep this up or are you just going to
slink off back into some cave to lick your wounds?

One other thing you might want to think about before mouthing off again
about those 'conservative Mormons' you hate would be just who the most
prominent 'Mormon' politicians are these days. Harry Reid, for example,
is hardly a conservative. Mitt Romney, though he may be a Republican,
does not seem too conservative for extremely liberal Massachussetts,
what with his support for socialized medicine and other liberal causes.
Even Orrin Hatch of Utah is close friends and has co-sponsored numerous
bills with that bastion of conservatism, Ted Kennedy.

So, tell you what. Get lost. Stop posting your odious, obnoxious,
useless anti-Bush tripe, get an education and learn a little bit about
what you are talking about. And above all, try taking a course on
cultural tolerance.

Jay, you've never heard of it?

Is that the so-called "fuel-air" bomb, like they used in the movie
"Outbreak"?


Even bigger. It was first demonstrated after the movie came out. But you've
got the idea.
