		<description>How did things go with the SunBlade 1500 running the PGX-64 PCI Card? I have one myself and I&#039;m very interested in knowing how you went with it. I&#039;m thinking of buying a PGX64 - the XVR-600 is useless!

Cheers

		<description>That&#039;s an interesting angle.

But there&#039;s more: Asian Tribune reports that a West Point&#039;s &lt;i&gt;Combating Terrorism Center&lt;/i&gt; document, based on the so called &lt;i&gt;Sinjar documents&lt;/i&gt; reveals that the per capita majority of foreign terrorists in Iraq originate from Eastern Libya... the very same region Obama is so keenly supporting:

What&#039;s going on here?</description>

		<description>It sounds one more conspiracy theory type of story. Is Sarkozy using the war to showcase the French plane? Maybe, but that is a secondary thought.</description>

		<description>Nice and smart issue, but I agree with author in general. Details (for me) is is slight differs. 

Lets try to put a some healthy conspirology into issue.

Reuters in a last week put 20 reels with EF-Typhoons and Rafale fighters in its news download section.

Reuters receive a ??? millions from UK and france goverments?
Or advertising company for EF-Rafale was a paid from US goverment - and US goverment made a Reuters to place reels for free, costless for UK and France - just for a participation in Libiya war?

Or Sarkozi wants to be a president instead a next nazi-like &quot;white power&quot; politicans? ;-)   

And wants to be a little skinhead for annoying arabs in France public ?????

But clear that brits and frances take a big efforts to show their forth Generation aircrafts in best.
They allow to place cameras on airfields, taxi ways, to shoot technicians and ever flare dispencers in details.

War - is best advertising for a combat machine, like a fighter.....
Air war in Libiya - great advertising company for EF and rafale began.

sorry for poor english, hate that language and all english-spoken nations. 
Vive&quot;la russia from poland to alaska, and from finland to persia..... :-)</description>

		<description>The author of the article has a very far-fetched implausible idea.

In popular perception arms exports are a very lucrative stream of cash and one worth going to war over. However the author needs to do his background research into the Rafale and Eurofighter programs before coming up with wild theories.

The primary user for both aircraft are the countries that have developed it. While the Eurofighter has scored a substantial export order from Saudi Arabia (72 aircraft priced at about $7 billion). But as things stand today, the market for fourth generation aircraft is very limited. Only one competition from India for 126 aircraft (also involving the MiG-35, Gripan, Super Hornet and F-16 worth about $12 billion) is of any real importance and an air campaign over Libya isn&#039;t going to make a lick of difference to that competition.

Bottomline, while Eurofighter Gmbh and Rafale International may try to play up their &#039;war-proven&#039; qualities, its not going to may any difference to their actual order book.</description>

		<description>France has tested it&#039;s planes for the first time in real time warfare.
I believe Libyan Air-force has been drastically and to some extent intentionally reduced in size due to suspicions which the Qaddafi regime harbors against its own people. 
All Libyan fighters are ex-USSR vintage war machines. 
The running away of two defectors flying Mirage F1 to Malta is another testimonial in its own right!
Saddam lost Gulf War 1 and 2 because he didn&#039;t know how to use his air force . Well Saddam was not such a big fool, the reason why he didn&#039;t opt to use his battle-hardened air-force was a politically motivated decision. 
Many Iraqi Air force commanders were not considered to be die-hard loyalist, so there was a danger that the Iraqi Air force might go after Saddam &#039;s own head . 
I believe Libyan Leader now needs to pick his stuff and leave his country . Libya deserves peace and better leadership.</description>

		<description>I am ashamed that we would get ourselves in confliction with Libya. Libya is not our war. Its just for the Oil. American, french and british  people know this, dont know why they keep telling us on tv (cant remember exact words) that its a good thing to do.  

But now that its done,missiles have been fired, bombs have been dropped. Thats it. 

No point on going on about how we should never have entered. We all must hope that this doesnt more terrorists bombing us in future. 

Oh and about the Eurofighter and Rafale. This war was not started to test weapons. 

By any chance Fadrid. Are you American. Just saying because the F35 is a total failure. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;you appear to completely contradict yourself as well – you seem to both say that a swift victory by anti-qadafi forces is both certain AND that the country will be mired in a protracted civil war. which is it?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, I said that a swift victory of NATO countries over the Gaddafi regime is certain and given. I don&#039;t think that the internal opposition in Libya was strong enough to overthrow Gaddafi by its own means.

Getting rid of the Gaddafi regime militarily would be just as swift as what happened to the Saddam regime. Both are no match at all to NATO, or even just parts of it. But the real problems could pop up later, when the defeated Gaddafi clan will resort to violence against civilians, planting IEDs etc...

You can win a battle and you can win a war, but still not win the peace after the war.

The point is that if the pro-Gaddafis are genuinely defeated by their own countrymen, they are more likely to admit this and to cooperate in building a post-Gaddafi Libya. If they are only defeated by outside forces, they may not swallow their defeat as easily, and could behave like the pro-Saddams in Iraq.

See the problem?</description>
