  1. As we know the Lightening was so quick that on its maiden flight it went supersonic on its first climb to altitude.

  2. The Iraq Iran War, when Iraq was the good guys. Oh, how things changed. When the Iraqis invaded Iran they headed straight for the oil fields and once captured Saddam basically told the Iranians that's it. We got what we want. You can stop fighting now. For some reason the Iranians decided otherwise.

  3.  @terrynewsome6698  My sense of humour, Terry. Having said that the West, and the Soviet Union, was quite happy to supply Saddam while he was busy keeping Iran busy. So whereas Saddam would not be on anyone's Christmas list he was tolerated. That is until he invaded Kuwait as Kuwait is on everyone's Christmas list. Yes I know Muslims do not celebrate Christmas but you know what I mean.
