Do we know who's who anymore or are we just gonna do what's been done before and try and help a load of bad people get rid of people ironically less bad than them and only later our "wise" sexual-harrassing, drunken, wikipedia editing overlords realizing (best cajun accent) "they done f*** up, real good" Or am I missing something from that?

Err, no. The stock phrase in these situations is "we could not have forseen that".
Unfortunately, it would seem that the "bleedin' obvious" hasn't been taught in our schools and universities for some time.

That's the one, I still insist that one way around it is to send in platoons staffed by one's David Cameron and Barack Obama. Leading from the front too, we can always get new leaders. Oh to have such political pygmies running the show.

Also off topic but that system I mentioned from CT being unveiled during the second week of June. There may have been a slight delay. Just got a message from the guy and he's been snowed under with work that piled up in the run up to labour day so he's catching up on that also. So possibly the unveiling might be later on (guys got to do his main paying work) but its still on. Just thought I owed it to say so.

Thats an SKS to most people then? Say How long did the SKS fully last in service before the AK supplemented it?
