so they weren't secretly planning to "arm" him, as the article states.
Selling a cargo plane, even one that carries military gear...is not "arming" a leader.
that's the spin..and its not accurate.
Its not armaments

forget it
not worth it. its spun. you know it. I know it. A C130 doesn't kill anyone...not the equivalence of a tank, gun, missile, bomb...etc...even though the author would like you to believe that from the title

So then..
$$, free "containers for military equipment" and whatever ancillary material would accompany this US-->Q largesse ... doesn't matter;
If it doesn't have an M in front It cannot be be a real affront It's just a little present sent To drop stuff on a luckless peasant Love your simple Boolean mind and its Certainty in all aspects of complex situations. It reminds me of what to eschew, when attempting genuine thought on any topic. |

I think what Beep is saying...

|

I suppose..
...that opening the back and dropping a pallet of food out the back would qualify the same as a bunker buster...assuming you were the one having it hit you in the head.
