It's worth pointing out that two of those buildings are in fact residential tower blocks; there is an ongoing legal challenge about them.

Oh, that's an old one - and I really should remember which book it's from!

Some of the comments of that post are just offensive. At the end of the day, what you have under your uniform doesn't matter - it's your ability to do the job.

The latest SITREP has a good article on this and how bad it could have been. They're talking 3 to 4 years to repair this.

I see that Mr. Clancy and Mr. Bond had to make a few changes to US strategy for this book. Of course, no war plan survives first contact with the enemy and few survive first contact with the politicians. While the F-19 is of course fictional, I can see why the US developed the F-117 as it could do a lot of the stuff those aircraft do in the book.

BBC News story Many of these guys fought for Gaddafi and took home some of his weapons...
