Yep, IIRC the Czechs have just brought Swedish fighters for their air
force...

There is a reason why Sweden has been able to stay neutral all these years

Hardly, the real point is that the NYT can NOT be the sole source of
info.

Look at their reporting about the 40 odd truck loads of high explosives
that they said were missing and implied negligence... it appears that
they went missing before the 101st even arrived on scene... this was
confirmed by a NBC imbedded reporter who was with the 101st at the
time.

So lets see; both HMX and RD, a very high explosive have gone missing
and can't be found... hum... what else may be missing and can't be
found?

I think that fact that the US president seems to be a fool is a point of
interest. Attacking the messenger only goes so far...

Luckily they do - I eked out a meagre existence in Sweden with the help
of Swedish army surplus nettle soup.

Delicious.

How about the fact that you seem to be a fool by posting such silly
crap? Is that of interest too?

sweden doesn't have an army that's good for anything.

though the old swedish 1896 mausers sure are sweet old guns.

100 years old, just been surplused, and hardly any wear at all.

So you think the NY Times writer is telling a baldfaced lie?

You haven't gotten any inkling over the past 4 years that
Bush might be a dummy?
