Do You Yahoo?Geez, he hasn't been Prime Minister for nearly a year and here I find another reason to hate his guts: I wonder how many problems with these subs would have been avoided if we had started taking delivery of them in 1995 when the cabinet approved their purchase, considering they had only been in mothballs for 2 years in '95, compared to 5 years in 1998 when Cretin finally gave the go-ahead (all the while they sat rusting while being poorly maintained and canibalized for parts by the Royal Navy).Still, it was nice to see one of Chretien's former cabinet ministers admit that we had indeed cut back our military too far...Jonathan Nikiforovs. Milepost 180, CP Belleville Sub.

The recoil from an M2HB would probably propel that dinky thing backwards, considering each round produces about 3 times as much recoil as a 12ga shotgun shell...Jonathan Nikiforovs. Milepost 180, CP Belleville Sub.
