General Duke Posted February 13, 2009 Nice one, Gen Ilkajiir is doing a great job thus far, we need to cement our relationship with our sister country of Yemen.

NASSIR Posted February 13, 2009 ^Ending Piracy is a good good policy of the new PL administration and the International community will be appreciative of that great effort. The problem has to be dealt with onshore, not offshore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
