popularmechanics.com — Shoulder-fired missiles, the meanest weapons in the “small arms” category, keep falling into the wrong hands, despite the U.S.& Russia’s attempts to keep them away from terrorists. Could more militants, from Iran to China to North Korea, be next in line at the black market?

Actually we just fought a secret war with anthropomorphic alien machines. Ever seen Transformers?

Read Merchant of Death...Lord of War was loosely based upon it.

Landmines are not inherently the problem they prove to be in the wild. The US's minefields in Korea are fenced in and marked and are under the oversight of direct fire weapons -- this is how a minefield is properly used. I am not aware that we sell mines to anyone. Sadly, too few people use mines in this way (the only effective way, unless terrorizing random people is your game).FWIW, minefields are not generally intended to inflict casualties, but to deny movement and slow an advance by virtue of requiring their arduous clearance. Having machine guns able to fire over them is intended to complicate their clearance.

1) Commondreams is *far* from unbiased reporting. They feature articles from Noam Chomsky and Cindy Sheehan. It's a bit radical for real news.2) Anthrax, Nerve Gas, West Nile and Botulism were sold by US Companies to Iraqi Universities contrary and against sanctions. The United States government did not "sell" these materials. The companies that sold precursors were investigated and some brought on charges.3) The mustard gas that was used on Kurds was primarily bought through a Danish businessman who set up a fake front to buy precursors illegally through American companies to get them smuggled into Iraq. Illegally.4) I told you that I was looking for facts, not twisted reporting and half truths. Obviously, you care nothing about facts, as apparent by your inclusion of an article from commondreams as weak "proof".5) You, sir, have just been given a big clue. You should use it before you scurry back under your rock. Dimwit.

An absolutely ridiculous claim. It would be like the Catholic Church having a fund raising event for the KKK, the ADL, and the Make-A-Wish foundation.All of those parties have distinctly different, and often diametrically opposed, goals in mind.

fortunately, the battery packs on these units deplete pretty quickly, require a moderate amount of skill to keep in service<a class="user" href="http://chaiseloungeoutdoor.com">http://chaiseloungeoutdoor.com</a>
