("China is on its way to becoming the most prolific launcher of space satellites. Currently, Russia is first, with 36 a year, China second with 19 and the US third with 18")
(b) What America Lost Over Libya.

("Air operations in Libya made it clear that European made missiles and smart bombs were every bit as good as the American stuff")
