Laurelin, your comment is to be understood. Most people that haven't been in or outside the military don't understand private business and military contracts. Sure Beoing makes 747's they also make F-15E Strike Eagles, and A/F-18 Hornets. Lockheed makes some fantastic civilian aircraft but also has several Military contracts.

Both of these companys sell their military aircraft to other countries but only under the conscent of the military, and other countries cannot order the same aircraft that the United States uses. If a company did they would loose more than just the military contract but the company would be put out of busniess very quickly. Military contracts are highly prized items and have many clauses.

Not just anyone can get this stuff. As for the Russians, their government dosen't controll anything. Their military hasen't been paid in years. The Russian mob controlls the country and ANYTHING is for sale in Russia. I would be suprised if there wasen't a Russian nuke somewhere in Iraq, but even Sadam isn't crazy enough to pull that move. I am sure that the Russian government didn't have anything to do with it and they are totaly in the dark. But I am sure that someone with mob connections did.

This is all really sad what is going on and it gets a little worse every day. Because of the tactics that Iraq is using look for growing numbers of civilian casualties as the Alied nations are forced to fire to save their lives and the human shields become just that.
