So - when do we start bombing Austria?

1. When Aaaaaaahhhhhnold gives the word?

2. We start bombing Austria as soon as the first oil well is drilled there.

3. Who's funding this?

"The National Iranian Police Organisation bought the rifles allegedly to use them against drug smugglers in an £8 million order placed with Steyr in 2005."

European arms (H&K, Benelli, Walther, Steyr, etc, etc, etc) are VERY VERY expensive.

4. How dare they use a bolt action 50 Cal

when the world knows we are the only ones allowed to use that round, of course ours are Fully Auto, mounted on Hummers and Choppers, but still.
