You will notice that his reply is not top posted just like he said. You
were looking at his posting and still managed to get it wrong.

Oh, what an amazing technical comment! My my, how it hurts me so much to
be insulted by Phat again.

At least you didn't claim that GPR could see to the center of the earth.
This I see as some improvement.

If the contracts were kept small and to the point. Only a small fraction
would have ended up in Hisbolla's hands. Hisbolla is a shia group. They
don't have very strong support from the other sects. The materiel would
be bulky to move. The bigger issue would be the money which is easy to
move.

If the US had given enough of the Iraqis jobs, they would have been busy
working instead of busily thinking of ways to cause trouble.

Actually, they should have been given to the French who are supremely
inefficient and would thus have employed the entire population of the
country.

Yeah, poison gas cures all sorts of minor health problems.

ONE was made in 1959. It was the development device.

MASS production, what we like to call MANUFACTURING began in 1960.
