It should be possible for the European companies who set up the NileSat satellites (there are about 4 satellites, 2 companies) to change the ground control station from which the NileSat satellites take their uplink TV signal feeds. Of course they will need pressure from the European governments...

That's OK. I said it was your call. No global regulation it is. "KILL THE AMERICANS & INFIDELS" TV broadcasting now ...

Oh national broadcasting is still regulated by those "nasty authoritarians". :rolleyes: It's just that Western politicians decided to stop global regulation of satellite TV and leave it up to monarchs and dictators to broadcast "KILL THE INFIDELS" TV throughout North Africa and the Middle East...

Glad to hear it. I'm a republican, hence the REPUBLICAN arm band. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of the Queen's royalists. :cool:

Some stupid movie that got outraged about on "NileSat" satellite TV to Egyptians, Libyans and others in that part of the world. NileSat Know your enemy Without "some stupid movie" being outraged about on NileSat by jihadists deliberating trying to incite believers to attack Americans...

Obama response inadequate Obama response inadequate Obama has ordered "heightened security" and the story so far is that means 50 more marines are on the way to Libya. That's an inadequate response. It's not enough to "order heightened security" if by that you mean ordering the same...

US ambassador 'killed in Libya'. US consulate Benghazi stormed. 4 US officials "dead" I am shocked and horrified at this and my sincere condolences to our American friends and loved ones. This incident confirms my concerns that diplomatic missions in "war-on-terror" countries are not being...

The Space Ship S.S. Condoleezza Rice I'd rather talk about the Space Ship S.S. Condoleezza Rice.

"Mankind" means all in the human species, past, present and future and anything you do, whether land on the moon or anything "for Mankind" matters most to the present and future humans who can benefit from whatever you are doing for us all. So "for all Mankind" does mean for you and it does mean...

Neil Armstrong, the coolest guy, ever! Boast for yourself there buddy. If it is honestly you are looking for, I know my limits. I lose my cool when my PC doesn't work as it ought to. Armstrong when speaking to control on the launch pad of Apollo 11 sounded as cool as you or I would sound when...

Neil Armstrong came in peace for all mankind. Apollo 11. Man on the moon. Music video. Neil Armstrong came in peace for all mankind. The coolest guy, ever. :cool:

My 4-point plan to beat the Taliban and win the war on terror My 4-point plan to beat the Taliban and win the war on terror Point 1 * The US and Western allies ought to name Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as "state sponsors of terrorism". We ought to name in addition, the other oil-rich Arab...

The UK has more prospect of regime change from the people already living in Britain than from any invaders. Some Scots want an independent Scotland, some Britons are republicans who would like to abolish the monarchy and the kingdom. I would not say the chances of regime change any time soon...

Afghan forces. Green-on-blue attacks. The solution Afghan forces. Green-on-blue attacks. The solution The Afghan National Army, the "green" force is rotten, if not to its core then to much of the periphery. Some of the green is more like gangrene (gan-green, get it! ;) ) The problem I see is...

We have permanent bases in Kabul. The enemy has none. Kabul is held though security is not perfect. Generally speaking cities are best policed by the local authorities rather than by a foreign army. Kabul is an Afghan problem though clearly we should be sure to defend any of our own bases there...
