It must be a Kraut thing, I recall an incident whilst flying a 109 when I shot the wing off a Hurricane with my cannons, the last view my pilot had was an RAF roundel as the wing flipped backwards and ploughed straight into my cockpit.

There was a coup in Mali today

Impressive, I think Bo has been under watch for a while now, but to get the head of the Internal Security on his side...

The strains of the unique Chinese blend of Communism and Capitalism vs the shadow of Mao are starting to show...

I wonder where Geng stands on this...

The sad thing is that Mali could have a dozen coups and nobody would even glance at a globe to see where it is.

Just a rumor of one in China however...

Deuce?

From what I can see, it looks like this is a move by Hu Jintao to make sure that Bo Xilai doesn't get onto the Standing Committee, where he could well have implemented a coup with the backing of Zhou Yongkang who controls the state security forces.
The final piece in the puzzle which has enabled them to move against Bo was the Wang Lijun affair. Now the CCP elders can shunt Bo off his career path, and take the oil monopoly from Zhou.
It's a classic Communist power struggle, and a sign of the times that news of it has leaked out to the public.

Hopefully this incident will put the Maoists back, the PRC really doesn't need another Mao in power, nor does the world.

Is this going to have any effect on the price of i-pads?
