THE US GOVERNMENT CREATED ISIS AND IS TRYING TO DIVERT ATTENTION TO IRAN - THE US PUBLIC (OTHER THAN THE PARTY THAT ATTACKED IRAQ) IS NOT BUYING IT
Washington (CNN)
Americans see ISIS as a bigger threat to the United States than Iran, Russia, North Korea or China, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
Overall, 68% say ISIS is a very serious threat, compared with just 39% who say so about Iran, 32% about North Korea, 25% on Russia and 18% on China. Nearly 9 in 10 see ISIS as at least a moderately serious threat.
The partisan divides that often drive public opinion around foreign policy issues are less prominent when Americans rate the threat from ISIS. Majorities across political and ideological lines say ISIS is a deeply serious threat to the U.S., including 68% of Democrats, 79% of Republicans and 63% of independents.
With active fighting against the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and the arrests Sunday of six Minneapolis men accused of trying to join ISIS, concerns about the threat posed by the group grow alongside worries that the military battle could spread. While a CNN/ORC Poll in March found the public remained mostly confident that the U.S. effort to combat ISIS would succeed, it also showed 79% of Americans were worried that the conflict would develop into a larger war that would spread throughout the region and to other parts of the world.
The party unity in perceptions of ISIS as a threat do not extend to Iran, however, with the new CNN/ORC poll showing a broad partisan rift in perceptions of Iran's threat to the U.S. According to the poll, Republicans are far more apt to see Iran as a very serious threat than Democrats or independents (53% of Republicans call it a very serious threat compared with 38% of independents and 29% of Democrats).
That partisan divide carries through to perceptions of an agreement in the works between the U.S. and Iran that would lift some economic sanctions in exchange for greater access to and limitations on Iran's nuclear program. If Iran were to violate the terms of such an agreement, however, majorities in both parties say military action should be the next step.
The CNN/ORC poll finds 53% favor the U.S. and Iran making an agreement that would ease some economic sanctions in exchange for major restrictions on Iran's nuclear program alongside greater international inspection of Iran's nuclear facilities, 43% say they oppose such an agreement. Democrats broadly back the deal (67% favor it), Republicans largely oppose it (60% opposed). Support for the deal is strongest among liberals (69% favor it) those under age 35 (63%) and those who have attended college (60%).
The more likely a person is to see Iran as a threat to the United States, though, the less likely they are to back the deal. Among the 39% who see Iran as a very serious threat, a majority (56%) oppose the deal. Among the 27% who see Iran as a slight threat or no threat at all, two-thirds favor the deal (66%), while just 28% oppose it.
The U.S. and other countries reached a preliminary framework with Iran for such a deal earlier this month, but talks continue toward a final agreement, with a June 30 deadline. Congress and the White House reached agreement on a bill last week that would allow Congress to review any deal reached with Iran before certain economic sanctions can be lifted.
If an agreement is reached and put into place and Iran violated its terms, most Americans feel a military response is in order. The poll finds 61% say the U.S. should take military action if Iran broke the agreement. Across the board, majorities of Americans support military action if Iran were to violate the terms of the deal: Republicans (67%), independents (60%) and Democrats (58%) all break in favor of taking military action in that instance. Support for military action drops below 50% among liberals, but just barely (49% say the U.S. should take military action if the terms are violated, 48% that it should not).
Support for military action is higher among those who oppose any deal to begin with. Among that group, 70% say the U.S. should take military action if Iran violates the terms of the agreement. A majority of those in favor of the deal back military action in response to a violation of terms, but it's a smaller majority at 55%.
Overall, Americans are divided on how the President is handling the U.S. relationship with Iran, 48% approve while 48% disapprove. Opinions of the president's handling of Iran are divided by party, with 79% of Democrats approving while 77% of Republicans disapprove. But Obama's handling of Iran earns him higher marks among Republicans (19% approve) than his overall handling of the presidency (11%). At the same time, Democrats are less apt to approve of Obama's Iran policies (79%) than of his handling of the presidency more broadly (88%).
The CNN/ORC International poll was conducted by telephone April 16-19 among a random national sample of 1,018 adults. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

DeleteThe LIGHT begins to shine.
In the fullness of the Arab Spring, helping rebels oust Muammar Gaddafi in Libya seemed to Western leaders as a good idea. He was a mercurial thorn in the side to the West and an autocrat in his own country.
ReplyDeleteFrance and Britain led the air campaign to destroy Gaddafi's military capability. The United States assisted. President Obama justified it on humanitarian grounds, to keep Gaddafi from slaughtering the rebels and civilians where they were located.
Now Libya is a dangerous wreck, and no Western countries want to take responsibility for restoring its civil order.
The migrant shipwreck that may have left as many as 700 dead in an attempt to flee Libya is triggering reflections about European immigration policies. There are difficult questions, about collective border security and the willingness to accept refugees from Northern Africa, given the large numbers and the growing anti-immigration sentiment in much of Europe.
But that shouldn't be the end of the introspection. Whether Libya is better off today than if the West had allowed the incipient civil war to play itself out is unclear. There's not much room for it to be worse off. And it is impossible to contend that Libya is clearly better off.
The tragic shipwreck should also trigger circumspection about interfering in the affairs of other countries when there is not a direct security threat to your own.

ReplyDeleteAmericans see ISIS as a bigger threat to the United States than Iran, Russia, North Korea or China, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
I couldn't find the actual poll questions in the CNN poll but based on a similar one I found from 2013, I have to assume they are as general as those described in the article. As such, they don't really tell me much since it doesn't tell us what a 'serious threat' (or any threat for that matter) means to those responding.
We have to ask what does a threat or 'serious threat' mean. Is it one that poses an existential threat to the US, one that results is significant damage to critical infrastructure or our financial system, one that causes major death or destruction to people or property, or just your run of the mill terror attack killing a number of people or destroying property?
Given the overall results, we have to assume that the respondents were factoring in not only capability of the countries mentioned but also the probability that they would use that capability, either that, or we have to assume the respondents are batshit crazy.
While some of the countries listed could inflict major damage on the US, Russia is the only one that has the capability to actually threaten the survival of the US. One has to assume that people have become comfortable with the idea of MAD and the way it has played out between our two countries and therefore are assigning a pretty low probability we would ever get into a nuclear war. The number of countries and groups that fall into the second category, being able to seriously hurt the US infrastructure or financial system is large and growing not only through conventional means but through cyber warfare. IMO, it is only in the last two categories, major hits to people or property or run of the mill attacks, that we have to worry about ISIS. And frankly, even with these the probability is small. All they can do at this moment is suggest that lone wolves here do something on their own.
Just my opinion, but given that, I don't understand what the people in the poll were thinking.
,
They were thinking of 11SEP2001.
DeleteThey were thinking that the US has come to limit the liberty of its residents in the name of security from another such attack.
That is what people consider the 'greatest threat', now-a-days.
That is, more likely than not, what they were thinking
By the bye, the Chinese could destroy the United States, even with 'only' 180 nuclear warheads.
DeleteA 2011 Georgetown University study estimated that China has as many as 3,000 warheads hidden in underground tunnels, whereas China is estimated by the Federation of American Scientists to have an arsenal of about 180 active nuclear weapon warheads and 240 total warheads as of 2009
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction
I think it has to do with rational actors.The US, Iran, Russia, North Korea or China are not willing to accept the consequences and have little motivation to do anything that could be interpreted by any of that group as being a serious threat. The US and Iranian case is different. There is an element in the US that exaggerates the threat of Iran to US interests and in almost all cases, this group make an association with Israel and Israel’s security expressed by the right wing Netanyahu government. Fortunately, they are in the minority.

According to Jack, All modern Jews are frauds.
Israelis have no property rights at all...
Thanks Jack, or should I say Seig Heil?
No, "O"rdure, you asked a question about the people that could rightfully claim the 'Temple Mount'.
DeleteMr Sands make the intellectual case, one backed by DNA studies at Albert Einstein School of Medicine and John Hopkins, that the Palestinians are the progeny of the people that built the 'Temple Mount' and the the Ashkenazi came to Judaism originally through “proselytism" not genetics.
That does not make the Ashkenazi frauds, but it also does not make them the progeny of those that built the Temple Mount.
That was your question, "O"rdure and Mr Sand answered it.
The Invention of the Jewish People
Deleteis a book written by Shlomo Sand, an Israeli professor of history at the University of Tel Aviv.
The author wasn’t probing a belief system but Zionist fabrications of a spurious common lineage for people of the Jewish faith.
Sand argues that the idea of Jews having a common ethnic identity is implausible because, as with Christianity and Islam, Judaism was originally a “proselytising religion”.
The notion of Judaism as a “race”, rather than a religion of various races, is without foundation.
The recent study by John Hopkins geneticist Dr Elhaik confirms...
that the common genome structure of the European Jew gravitated towards an origin in old Khazaria.
“The majority of Jews do not have Middle Eastern genetic component,” he told Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Founded on a mélange of myths and manufactured historical tales,
Israel has failed the archaeological test of time and is now exposed by DNA science.
Today’s genetics prove unequivocally that in 1948 “the children of the original Jews” were replaced by converts ...
With no roots in the Middle East.
http://www.redressonline.com/2013/02/the-myth-of-the-jewish-people/
... Jewish history tells us that the Romans did not expel the original Jews from Palestine when they crushed the Simon bar Kokhba revolt in 136 AD but instead barred them only from city of Jerusalem – and even then they were allowed to visit it during Tisha B’Av, the annual fasting day on the ninth day of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar.
DeleteUnder Christianity and during the Roman Empire a large number of native Jews converted to Christianity and, with the advent of Islam, most adopted the new religion and assimilated under the new power.
In addition to the descendants of the Canaanites, the original denizens before patriarch Abraham’s arrival from Mesopotamia, Sand concludes that today’s Muslim and Christian Palestinians are actually the true progenies of the original Jews.
Again, "O"rdure, the money line of Mr Sand's studies ...
DeleteMuslim and Christian Palestinians are actually the true progenies of the original Jews.
That is whose ancestors 'built' the Temple Mount, not the progeny of the Khazars.
Jack Hawkins, you are a jew hating, nazi wannabe.
DeleteIt's clear now.
That is whose ancestors 'built' the Temple Mount, not the progeny of the Khazars, the Ashkenazi.
DeleteJack, regardless of your wiggles or lies, you deny the jews were there 1st.
DeleteNow you claim the Palestinains are the Jews.
But what of the Sephardic Jews Jack? You never address them, those Jews that NEVER left...
You easily sweep them under the carpet...
The Ashkenazi are real jews, your discredited bullshit of the Khazars notwithstanding...
You are a spiritual Nazi.
period.
You are unworthy of so much.
On average, all Ashkenazi Jews are genetically as closely related to each other as fourth or fifth cousins, said Dr. Harry Ostrer, a pathology, pediatrics and genetics professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and the author of
ReplyDelete"Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People" (Oxford University Press, 2012).
Maternal DNA
Richards and his colleagues analyzed mitochondrial DNA, which is contained in the cytoplasm of the egg and passed down only from the mother, from more than 3,500 people throughout the Near East, the Caucusus and Europe, including Ashkenazi Jews.
The team found that four founders were responsible for 40 percent of Ashkenazi mitochondrial DNA, and that all of these founders originated in Europe. The majority of the remaining people could be traced to other European lineages.
All told, more than 80 percent of the maternal lineages of Ashkenazi Jews could be traced to Europe, with only a few lineages originating in the Near East.

Jack attempts and fails to discredit one branch of Jews while ignoring the other larger branch that still thrives.
Deletethe Sephardic.
Jews have lived in the middle east for 3400 years.
Jack's final solution glee to discredit ONE branch of modern Judaism is the equivalent to Hitler's Final Solution.
Jack should be locked up as a danger to society.
Wrong, again, "O"rdure.
DeleteNo one is discredited, especially by me.
The Sephardic Jews are a small minority of the Semitic people that live in Palestine.
Their claims to the 'Temple Mount' do not over come those of the majority.
Their claims to Palestine do not over come those of the majority, especially since the majority of the Sephardic Jews migrated to Palestine post 1948, as you have so often told us.

That was the point, I made the point the the Arabs stole the Temple Mount FROM the Jews. Thus invalidating Deuce's, Rufus and Jack's claim that the Jews stole the land from the arabs,
The Jews BUILT the Temple.
Cant you concede that SIMPLE point?
As for your point that Jerusalem was a city for a thousand years before the jews got there?
Well, there were PEOPEL living by the spring for at least 3000 years before KING DAVID captured and created "Jerusalem".
But those living by the springs were NOT Palestinians. Arabs had not migrated out of Arabia for another 1000 years. (there were Jews living in Arabia (not called arabia of course back then)
The point is simple Quirk.

Can't you at least admit there was a city there that David conquered and not a nomad's drinking hole?
But those living by the springs were NOT Palestinians. Arabs had not migrated out of Arabia for another 1000 years
You slice and dice the history of the ME to fit you own purposes. The truth is that for the last four thousand years the Jews were the big dog in Canaan for about a 10th of that. The rest of the time, it was run by others. Forget the bullshit about God gave it to you and that it is your 'historic homeland' and accept that you have it 'today'. Stop living in the past, a romantic but phony past you have ginned up over centuries.

I've posted plenty of what is considered the scientific consensus with names and studies that refute the shit you put up here about Khazars and the Ashenkazi. But the simple fact is that even if your fairy tales were true, it makes no difference. Even though the Ashenkazi represent the majority of Jews in the world today it has nothing to do with Israel where they are not the majority.

Land disputes traverse the globe and yet, ONLY the Jewish Settlement and creation of Israel is disputed as something proper and right.
The Jews of the area exercised their right to self determination and created their state, which was approved by the UN.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former CIA director and retired Army Gen. David Petraeus was expected to be sentenced today in federal court for giving classified material to his biographer as they were having an extramarital affair.
DeletePetraeus will appear at the sentencing, which comes two months after he agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material.
The plea agreement carries a possible sentence of up to a year in prison. In court papers, prosecutors recommended two years of probation and a $40,000 fine. But the judge is not bound by that and could still impose a prison sentence.
The agreement was filed in Charlotte, where Paula Broadwell, the general’s biographer and former lover, lives with her husband and children. As part of his deal, Petraeus agreed not to contest the set of facts laid out by the government.
The affair — which came to light during an investigation into threatening emails sent by Broadwell to a Tampa woman — ruined the career of Petraeus, a retired four-star general.
Prosecutors said that while Broadwell was writing her book in 2011, Petraeus gave her eight binders of classified material he had improperly kept from his time as the top military commander in Afghanistan. Days later, he took the binders back to his house.
Among the secret information contained in the “black books” were the names of covert operatives, the coalition war strategy, and notes about Petraeus’ discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said.

While the debate in Washington DC raged about whether or not the fall of Ramadi would be 'disastrous' the debate itself was meaningless, outside of the realm of pundits and DC bureaucrats.
DeleteRamadi did not fall - the Iraqi were able to defend themselves
Ahhh.......but Memorial Day 2015 - Iraq ISIS Free Day - is now FAST APPROACHING.
DeleteAnd your stupid military genius asshole is sitting naked in a sling.
YOU claimed to be a 'military expert'.
YOU claimed Iraq would be ISIS free by Memorial Day, 2015.
If you would finally claim you have your thumb up your asshole you would finally get something right.
YOU claimed Zimmerman would be prosecuted by the Feds.
Didn't happen.
Unlike Rufus, you don't even make an attempt to pay you gambling debts.
Q at least sends me an IOU when he is a little short from time to time.
As men Q is a Giant, and YOU rathole, are a pygmy.
I doubt they would even let you into Doyle's down Ruf's way..
DeleteAfter all they probably have some kind of good conduct code.
Why Robert "Draft dodger" Peterson, perhaps the Iraqi government has a different timetable than I predicted.
DeleteThat could well prove to be the case, but ...
You are still a thief.
Regardless.
RATTO ---- We are all "just dying to know" all about how the super secret so important to our nation project is going these days down off the Coasts of Panama that you announced a couple months ago.....how IS it going dear rat ?......the entire Free World wishes to know ..............We here at the Bar have been on pins and needles seems like forever......When will the BP - Big Project - be able to 'fire up' and give us all a much needed extra layer of security......we are DYING to hear some wonderful news concerning this....Please hep us on this.............
DeleteThe only mention of a 'super secret mission to Panama" was made by you, Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson.
DeleteIf you can provide a link to whatever post you have in mid, well, we can read it and discuss it.
Otherwise, the entire subject has to be chalked up to being another of your delusions, false memories or such.
I did do an entire thread about the Panama Canal expansion, but that was not, has not been, a secret.
DeleteNot by any stretch of the imagination
You are lying.
DeleteYou said you were deep deep into a super secret national security orientated project off the Coast of Panama.
There is no such project, and if there were, you would be excluded on National Security grounds, you PATHETIC.
There exists a series of legitimate drugs that might help to clear your mind.
I can email my Niece if you wish. She deals with the mentally challenged all day long.
And we are going to see one another this summer. I have a duty to meet her boy friend, and pass judgement on him, as uncles do in her culture. I am now her designated uncle for this job, Uncle Bob USA.
:):):):)
Makes me feel wonderful.
I can even interview the candidate.
That's the way it's done !

He owns me on Zimmerman.
And though we haven't formally bet on this one as we did do before, he knows his self described reputation as a "military expert" is on the line here.
He is twisting twisting slowly slowly in the wind, in a delightful American political phrase.
rat hole is so yesterday !!
I do own you, Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson ...Your Freudian slip is right on target.
DeleteIf you still think we had some type of bet, post it.
As to the Panama thread
Venezuela cuts ties with Panama

Nothing secret about it, at all
YOU are a liar.

ReplyDelete.
You have stated the same shit ad nauseum. The others have stated their case ad nauseum.
Last night, you revisited the same shit for the umpteenth time.
This morning you start up the same argument all over again. Same shit, different time. Why can't you go off and rewrite ancient history some more and come back with a new fairy tale for us?
This blog has become the Jew channel.
Or, the Palestinian channel, if you like.
Or the redundancy channel.
At a minimum, I would ask that you guys come up with some new material. We have seen everything you offered up this morning a 1000 times before.
.
Do you think AIPAC ever tires of their relentless campaign? The oldest trick in the political book is to complain that your opponent has made his case and everyone should move along. Then they continue their campaign. The Middle East has never been worse. The change from day to day is more and more dangerous.The article is about the media refusing to examine the data and is diverting attention away from the origin of ISIS.
I doubt that I’ll be following their lead anytime soon.
deuce: The article is about the media refusing to examine the data and is diverting attention away from the origin of ISIS.
Deleteand yet your 1st sentence is this shit... "Bibi and his trollops in the GOP Likuds Force could not make the deal with the US Public"
Amazing
Clearly, Americans are not interested in another ME war, especially the one Israel is so keen on, using US troops of course to ensure that Israel maintains her nuclear monopoly.
DeleteClearly Americans are not interested losing another war.
DeleteIsrael is keen on AVOIDING another war and hard sanctions was the best way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Now that Obama is intent on allowing Iran to go "hot", there WILL be another war, but it will not be between Israel and Iran, rather will will be between Iran and it's Sunni enemies.
Iran knows that if it directly attacked Israel it would be destroyed.
I'd say look for IRan to stir up Hamas and Hezbollah again for another round of fighting…
Iran will fight the zionist entity to the last arab man, woman and baby left alive, they do not care about human life… Let alone arabs…
After all, in the Iran / Iraq war, they used 8 year old boys as human mine field clearers, purposely sending them in mine fields to set off the land mines….
Yes Iran is intent for war. Israel wanted sanctions…
Officials reported details of the latest strikes, which took place between 8 a.m. yesterday and 8 a.m. today, local time, noting that assessments of results are based on initial reports.
ReplyDeleteAirstrikes in Syria
Attack, fighter and bomber aircraft conducted five airstrikes in Syria:
– Near Hasakah, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying three ISIL fighting positions.
– Near Kobani, four airstrikes struck four ISIL tactical units, destroying two ISIL fighting positions.
Airstrikes in Iraq
Fighter, attack and remotely piloted aircraft conducted 16 airstrikes in Iraq, approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense:
– Near Asad, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL command and control facility.
– Near Qaim, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL vehicle.
– Near Beiji, three airstrikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and two ISIL Stryker vehicles, destroying an ISIL vehicle and an ISIL armored vehicle.
– Near Fallujah, five airstrikes struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL building.
– Near Mosul, three airstrikes struck an ISIL security headquarters, destroying an ISIL excavator.
– Near Ramadi, two airstrikes struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL sniper position, an ISIL house rigged with explosives, and an ISIL vehicle.

That's 103 strikes in the last 4 days.
103 X 3 X 76 . . Holy Moly, Thassa lot of virgins
Holy Molly, you want to join rat hole on Memorial Day now ?
DeleteCause you, Big Boy, are stuck with the 4th of July 2015.
Well actually not so much. You did abandon that extreme position some time ago, and I've given you credit for it in my Book of Records here.
Smelly rat hole, our 'military expert' is sticking with his Iraq ISIS Free Prediction, published World Wide on the Web, that Memorial Day 2015 is the Liberation Day For All Of Iraq..
That is the Day, the very Day, that the "rat Doctine" will have cleansed ALL OF IRAQ of ISIS.
According to rat hole.
His ENTIRE 'reputation' now rests upon this Prediction..............
If past predictions are prelude.....well, what can I say but he sure fucked up his Zimmerman Prediction.
DeleteAnd now of course doesn't want to 'pay up'.
It's the kind of slim ball he truly is.
You're an idiot.
DeleteYou made the Rufus Prediction, shitball, eater of alligator tails.
DeleteThen you RUN AWAY FROM IT.
DON'T PLAY ANYMORE POKER AT DOYLE'S
(don't let the wife know you even go down there)
YOU BET YOUR DESIRES
you are a fool
YOU and d. "DEAD BEAT DAD & WAR CRIMINAL" rat hole are disgusting.
DeleteYou two are the very worst our Nation has to offer.
Thankfully some of the foreigners I happen to know don't judge us all by the MORONS among us.
Quite the opposite.
I have formed intellectual and emotional bond with a young Hindu Lady, who actually might be able to help ratass out a bit--
she deals with it every day a Max Planck.
Rufus is a simpler case.
She would recommend the wife confiscate all the credit cards and no more boozing in front of the TV
That would clean rufi up in less than a month.
Rat ass would have to be flown to Dresden, Germany for his incarceration and very intrusive interviews.
DeleteHe has to sign off on it.
He won't, knowing he is fucked up beyond all repair.
I haven't "run away" from anything.
ReplyDeleteI said that there would be no ISIS left in Iraq by the 4th of July, and then I came back and said,
"okay, maybe the 4th of July is too soon, but it doesn't matter; they're dead men walking whether it's Independence day, or Labor Day, or Christmas.
Dead Men Walking are Dead Men Walking."
The main thing is: My team is winning, and Your team is losing.
DeleteThe rest is just misdirection.
You are Noble.
Deleterat shit is not.
I have 'no team' in the fight now other that to support the Kurds.
Kindly get that right.
sure
DeleteAt least, you quit pretending to support the USA.
DeleteWashington (AFP) - Washington is working with Iraqi leaders to hone military operations against Islamic militants and is mulling whether to train Iraqis to directly call in US air strikes, a US official said Thursday.
ReplyDeleteDuring a visit to Washington last week, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi last week urged the Obama administration to speed up bombing missions against the jihadists saying there was a significant time lag between Iraqi forces identifying a target and a subsequent US air strike.
"The one thing they want is to cut down the time from a request for a strike to a strike," a senior State Department official told reporters.
"Though it's fairly fast, it's not immediate," he acknowledged.
The US-led coalition has carried out about 3,000 air strikes over Iraq since September in the fight against extremist Islamic State (IS) militants who seized a swath of Iraqi and Syrian territory in a lightning move last June.
While deferring to the Pentagon, the senior State Department official said the administration was looking at how to strengthen coordination with the Iraqis such as training joint terminal attack controllers (JTACs) who designate . . . . . . .

PATUXENT RIVER, Md., April 23 (UPI) -- An unmanned aircraft system has for the first time been refueled in flight by Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Navy.
ReplyDeleteThe UAS was the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration, or UCAS-D, aircraft, which in 2013 became the first unmanned aircraft to be autonomously launched from an aircraft carrier and recovered by it.
"AAR [autonomous aerial refueling] testing with the X-47B helps solidify the concept that future unmanned aircraft can perform standard missions like aerial refueling and operate seamlessly with manned aircraft as part of the Carrier Air Wing," said Capt. Beau Duarte, the Navy's Unmanned Carrier Aviation program manager.
During the test, the X-47B maneuvered into position behind a K-707 tanker and successfully engaged the tanker's drogue. It disengaged after refueling, moved a safe distance away and then returned to base, Northrop Grumman said.
"We are very pleased with the outcome of this first round of probe and drogue flights with the X-47B," said Pablo Gonzalez, UCAS-D program manager, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "The AAR system and X-47B both performed as expected. While we would certainly benefit from additional probe and drogue flight testing, we have reached a tipping point at which AAR is now feasible."
Pilots? We don' need no stinkin' pilots
What if the refueling tanker was also a stealthy drone?
DeleteOH GOODY!
ReplyDeleteTime to kill some Hamas members!!!!!
Rocket fired from Gaza lands in Israeli territory. Hamas fired a rocket at the Sderot area on Thursday evening, shattering months of quiet and triggering air raid sirens in the area.
The Independence Day attack by Hamas was the 1st one in months.
The attack, on Israel's Independence Day, serves as a reminder that Hamas and their proxies are preparing for another round of war.
Let's hope Israel has a better record than America in striking back....
May members of Hamas die today and not have decent medical treatment for their wounds...
Rufus is gleeful for the head cutters that are dying that America is playing whack a mole with…
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile Iran is still funding, supplying Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and a dozen other groups intent on slaughter and chaos.
ISIS sucks, but to quote Obama? They are JV.
Meanwhile IRan and their proxies have killed over 300,000, created one of the world's largest refugee crisises in modern history, almost 10.5 million in Syria alone, not counting Iraq…
Those that support Iran should be proud, mass murder on a scale that we have not seen since hitler…..
I want to make it clear to Rufus and anyone else:
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't think we ought to put troops back into Iraq this does not mean I favor the head cutters o ISIS.
I wish I had that electrocution switch......I'd toy with it a bit and the flip to 'on' with my toe.
Go ahead and bomb them all you want......bomb them to blithereens for all I care......step it up
One day I"m criticized for advocating carpet bombing and the next I'm told I'm 'on their side'.
Do want ever you want to do - nuke 'em for all I care - just no American troops back in there fighting inch by inch for towns and villages.
The good news is, here and there, around the world, wonderful things really are happening.
ReplyDeleteAnother phone call from my Niece, riding her bike home from work (How can you do that, ride a bike a cell phone at the same time) I hear her huffing and puffing and her wonderful voice all happy and enthusiastic ! It's wonderful !!
She is a truly lovely young accomplished woman !
"I am on top of the world now, Uncle Bob"
and
"It's not an ending if it's not a happy yet, Uncle Bob"

Whooooopie we will be seeing one another soon now !
YES
Did I mention she works at The Max Planck Institute of Brain Research in Dresden, Germany ?
DeleteO, I did ?
Did I mention she was the only one of fifty applicants that was hired ?
O, I did ?
Did I mention we have mutually adopted one another as Uncle and Niece and are pledged to help one another the rest of this life to the best we can ?
We have.
Life ain't so bad. Great things can happen.
Did I mention she has been published in the Journal 'Nature' and has another article under review ?
DeleteI did?
Well I do again.
Did I mention she knows five languages and now a smattering of German too?
Well she does.
Did I mention she says the arabs of the mideast are the worst?
Take this to heart.
She knows what she is talking about.
You don't.
