Warning: Strong Language

Recording from the cockpit of the leading Rhodesian Air Force Canberra bomber during a retaliatory external raid by Rhodesian Forces on the ZIPRA camp at Westlands Farm near Lusaka, Zambia, October 19, 1978.

The strike force consisted of Green Section (Canberras), Red, White and Blue Sections (Hawker Hunter fighter jets) and a number of K-Car (Allouette helicopter) gun-ships.

Rhodesia show us how incredible african nations could become, but of course the champagne socialists in the west prefer to see africans butchering each other before they could bring themselves to tolerate white minority rule, so now millions of africans are trying to come to the west and voluntarily live under white rule. Oh the irony.

@MrZingy What? Santa doesn't exist? Have I been lied to for 34 years!!!!!!????????

@WinchesterRanger ..barking up the wrong tree in typical Rhodie fashion. I was merely emphasising the point that your "white rule" comment is misplaced since the "leader of the free world" is not white. Speaking of karma, that's Santa Claus and tooth fairy stuff son.....not exactly quaking in my boots I'll have you know!

@MrZingy The president was born in Hawaii, and your lame attempt to resurrect the birther issue is yet more proof that you are little more than a worthless troll looking for an argument, as if more were needed.

You'll get yours one way or another, Karma never fails, remember that.

@MrZingy Yeah, its one of those "One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" scenarios I think. As old as conflict itself. That said, many of the Talibs are not actually Afghans. Many of them are from Iran & Pakistan for example. Even the Afghan Pashtun fighters oftn operate in areas away from their home village, so as to be unknown among the local populous & therefore harder to recognise. Annoyingly the opposite also occurs, where fighters operate locally so they can blend in!

@WinchesterRanger ....Rhodesia wasnt the bread basket of Africa.....more like the basket case of Africa. Its GDP per capita was worse than that of Zimbabwe today (and that's pretty bad). I would state that African are trying to escape tryranny, be it from Mugabe or Idi Amin or Ian Smith, rather than looking to be under "white rule". BTW Last time I checked the leader of the free world was pretty much a black chappie from Kenya. Kinder torpedoes your argument son!lol!

[MrZingy]

@kneeslider47 ...well it has been alledged that the pen is mightier than the sword!!!

Help me with this. Given the Taliban are the historical inhabitants of the land (Afganistan), then why are they called " insurgents"? Technically the NATO forces are the insurgents. Perhaps it is easier to say that we are killing "insurgents" rather than stating that you are descimating the local populous. Rhodesians did this with the freedom fighters...they were labelled "commie terrs". Makes one wonder!
