As fighting in Libya intensifies, attention is now turning to the stockpile of weapons Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, may have built up over four decades of rule. Fears over what Gaddafi could have at his disposal, however, may well not match up with reality, given that the airworthiness of his fighter jets is being questioned, and that years of sanctions and neglect may have rendered much of the army's equipment useless.

April 23, 2010 An Air Force plane prompts concerns about space-based military operations. CNN's Barbara Starr reports. Follow UFO Report on Twitter @ twitter.com Is the X-37B the start of war in space? By Peter Farquhar, Technology Editor April 22, 2010- www.news.com.au IT'S one of the most anticipated space launches since the original manned space shuttle Columbia blasted off in 1982. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been sunk into it over nearly 20 years of research and development. It's the X-37B. And unfortunately, that's all we can tell you, because the unmanned spacecraft, which looks like a small shuttle, is one of the US military's most tightly guarded secrets. Built by Boeing's Phantom Works division, the X-37 program was originally headed by NASA. It was later turned over to the Pentagon's research and development arm and then to a secretive Air Force unit. And when it launches tonight (local time) in a nine-minute window between 23:52 and 00:01 GMT (09:52 - 10:01 AEST), only a very select few in the US military will know what its "unspecified payload" is. We do know it can circle the Earth for more than nine months. In all honesty, we dont know when its coming back, US Air Force spokesman Gary Payton told reporters yesterday. The X37-B was originally planned to require the services of a space shuttle to launch, but now it's a standalone craft. It also lands like a space shuttle. As usual with this type of thing, there is plenty of speculation about what the ...
WikiLeaks, a website that publishes anonymously-sourced confidential documents, has published a previously unseen footage showing a US helicopter firing at civilians in Iraq, killing a dozen of them. Among the dead were two journalists, Namir Nour El Deen, a photographer, and Saeed Chmagh, a driver, both employees of the Reuters news agency. Namir's brother, Nabil Nour El Deen, tells Al Jazeera after watching the footage that it is clearly a crime committed by the US military. (Apr 6, 2010)

While Government Treats Citizens As Terrorists, Mexican Military Invades US www.infowars.com Paul Joseph Watson http Friday, March 12, 2010 While the US government and federal authorities busy themselves targeting American citizens as domestic terrorists, it seems they couldnt care less about the fact that the military of a foreign power is flying around American airspace with wanton abandon. Residents of Falcon Heights, a south Texas border town, saw a Mexican helicopter hovering over a house shortly after 6pm on Tuesday night. The chopper conducted surveillance for about 15 minutes before flying back to Mexico. They had armored individuals in the chopper, open ramp, very military looking, in style and preparation, said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. Its proof the Mexican military sees no boundaries, reported local KRGV News Stephanie Stone, adding that the incident wasnt the first of its kind and wouldnt be the last. The markings I understand read La Marina which is equivalent to the Mexican Navy, said Gonzalez. Local residents who saw the chopper refused to talk about it on camera, but the news report showed images of the helicopter. KRGV contacted nearly a dozen government agencies in an attempt to get answers. After contacting the the FAA about the chopper, KRGV were told to talk to the Customs and Border Protection, who said they knew about the incursion but were apparently unconcerned. State and local authorities refused to return phone calls about ...
