#1 Do alk runners usually carry RPGs?

Well, I imagine a lot of the RPG's winding up in Iraq are being donated or sold at well below international market prices, to the point that even the lowly Alk runners can buy them.

OTOH, I've heard that with the standard models of RPG's on the market in Iraq it's rather difficult to hit stuff without a lot of practice. If they're actually hitting stuff, they're practicing. And have space to practice somewhere how to hit stuff with the things, and money to spend on rounds expended practicing.

#2 Afghanistan had a rep as an arms market as well. If they can smuggle booze in from Iraq, RPGs from the other direction wouldn't be a problem.

#3 From what I recall the tech of producing an RPG round is pretty elementary. Our troops in Iraq are coming up against some indigenous as well as modified RPG rounds. I am no fan of PKK scum but a dead Irainan armed forces member is one less to deal with later. Hope they kill the heck out of each other. If it was booleggers good on them. Any pay back for the MMs support of world wide terror no matter how small is welcome.

#16 Drinking is one thing. Smuggling and selling it is another.

#17 On any flight out of The Magic Kingdom, the Stewardess call lights are almost ALL lit up the instant the Pilot announces we are out of Saudi airspace. Now think about that. How many flights have you been on where it would even occur to anyone on the flight that being out of some country's airspace would be worthy of an announcement? Perhaps the old Soviet days were the closest thing.

They begin serving alcohol that instant on outbound flights from TMK. Who's ordering and clamoring for instant service - mainly the Saudis. The expats know to wait and let the stupidity and hollering die down, first, so they're not lumped into the moron group by the stews. Within an hour, the Saudis are the drunkest, loudest, most obnoxious motherfuckers you will ever encounter on a commercial flight. On long night flights you can kiss the notion of getting a little sleep goodbye.

Oh, and immediately after liftoff, all the wymyn head for the john to change into Western clothes - even if the flight is to UAE or Qatar.

Islam. The Religion of Hyposcrisy, in addition to all of their other endearing qualities.
