Dooh!!... you got me there, I was going to say the Armoured version of the back to the future car.....  The Irish Army when I was in were using Scorpians, a piece of old crap recon tank, thats only good for getting killed in... I would go Challanger 2 or Abrams (the new one, Snips had a good story about one after 3 hellfire blue on blue hits). The Challanger 2 has great armour and a good gun..... No weak spots on Challanger 2 I heard of yet, wheres the Abrams has a weak backside, lower section.... Jihiddis are trying for it every day in Iraq....

Yes ! they can't fight us on an equal footing .So they resort to an Insurgency .
Iraq is a manufactured country that is and has been fractured along ethnic and religious lines for a long time . They needed a sadddam to keep it together
Syria and Iran doesn't have that problem to my knowledge .The only tribe I'm aware of that causes **** in those countrys is the Kurds . Do you know of any others ?

I never said that .
He persecuted his own people to the extent that all divisions in society that existed were camoflaged by his heavy handed policing . He was more on the lines of a Stalin than a Tito...
Now we've gone and given the population democracy .They can't help but disagree and murder each other .
