I don't find this surprising. While I vehemently oppose gov't intrusion and "big brother", I think the Iraqi's are not to be trusted and could turn against our interests and national security faster than a toad's tongue in a flea market and use them against us.

Its just a wise move in my estimation. They are a bunch of psycho circus clowns over there and their loyalties change daily. After all the US has done to liberate them and elevate their living conditions under Sadam they would still throw us under the bus in the morning if it served Maliki's self interest at the moment.

I am for smaller gov't but that doesn't mean naive gov't.

I have never heard 'faster than a toad's tongue in a flea market'........funny.

I am surprised the US copped to it. I can hear it now, "Okay Maliki, we will send those jets to you as promised with the addition of tracking equipment. If by an chance one, just one jet looses our tracking sensors, the jets will automatically blow up. You don't want that to happen now do you?"

hahaha!

I doubt the US volunteered the info about the tracking device or that they will blow up if disabled.

You can bet however now that the info has been leaked they will hide those rascals like a mice in a cat house!

+1 to you Zig

Had a little people friend and his line was......"when I'm toe to toe my face is in it and when I'm face to face my toes are in it" Obviously his wife was full size..

He was really a midget or a dwarf, hell I don't know and neither did he. And obviously I don't give a rats ass about being politically correct.

DW out.

Tracking device and a suspicious little black box in the cockpit.

For a minute I thought that was the first test flight :lol:

But I notice the date is further from the first date. I think they are waiting for the PM to be out of there. after all, he wants to use them on the kurds.
