With all due respect, all he does is spout paranoid conspiracy theories. It reminds me of some of the patients we had in the psych ward, they could explain the Spice Girls were representatives of Winston Churchill since their father was born on the same day as their uncle and was a likely twin.

I was wondering if they had the same approach to drugs as Holland but they have a 'zero tolerance' rule. It would of been one explanation for the paranoia, lucky for him at least Sweden has some good psych hospitals.

"With all due respect..." and then you go on spewing that kind of stuff? I won't take it personal, as you really don't know me. You can call it "paranoid conspiracy theories if you want" but all I do is look at how the world really is and how it really works, not how I want it to be.

So, final call for the challenge, - how did the Japanese manage to sneak so close without being detected????
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

There is a weather zone in the pacific which is relatively "dirty". Hard for air recce, and little naval traffic. They used it to keep in the shadow. Actually they made a "dry run" before attacking Pearl.

Do you mean like in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, where Steven Segal pwned all those stereotypical henchmen?  It did have some funny lines though.

And Katherine Heigl.


The attack on Pearl happened the same way all "impossible" attacks happen. Complacency, luck and a determined enemy.

Good planning and lack of unluck would be more like it.
