    We have done this before. The war in Iraq we took out all airplanes. Airfields were of no use for no airplanes. We have done this many times. When we went into Kuwait, We took out all enemy aircraft there also. No flaw in my thinking. The flaw is believing we have never done this.

    Your flawed thinking is only surpassed by your flawed memory and revisionist history.

    "We" did not take out all the Iraqi airplanes. NEVER HAPPENED. Prior to the 2003 invasion, Sadam flew most of his Air Force outside the country to other countries and most of the rest were parked in underground bunker hangars. Only the tiniest number of Iraqi fighters ever left the ground.

    When did "we" go into Kuwait and take out all the enemy aircraft there? What enemy aircraft? By the time "we" went into Kuwait on the ground to liberate them from the short Iraqi occupation, the Iraqi army was already fleeing back to Iraq and were famously decimated on that highway.

    More then one way to take out aircraft or airplanes. If they can not fly they are not a thread and there for taken off the battle field. Nothing flawed in that thinking. You do not have to destroy airplanes to take them out. Removing from the battle is just as good as destroying them.

    Tony, if I've told you once, I've told you many times, please resume your medication.
