    Merrion wrote: It doesn't really matter what's dropping the bombs Yes it does. B-52s tend to carpet-bomb - i.e. A bunch of B-52s fly in pattern and release lots and lots and lots of 'dumb' bombs that blow the crap out of a very wide area of land. This is to make sure that the actual target is hit. However, 117's, B-2's, and the surface-attacking fighter jets can drop the 'smart' bombs which remove the need to cover a wide area of the ground just to make sure you hit the target. Of course, a couple thousand pounds of high explosives is going to kill anyone that gets near it, so it's not like the 'smart' bombs are any safer to those that are nearby when they hit. Its just that one 'smart' bomb can usually accomplish the same military goal that used to require a squadron of carpet-bombing B-52's. The worst thing that can happen with a 'smart' bomb is that military intelligence incorrectly identifies a military target, and ends up targetting a civillian installation (as happenned a number of times in the first Gulf War). -- Russell Morris "Have you gone mad Frink?

    B-52s can also drop cruise missles which is what is happening here.

GW is NOT satan, Americans are not (for the most part) any more evil than the next poor son-of-a-bitch these people are likely to focus on, and that moron Hussein brought this down on his head, and his country's head ALL BY HIMSELF. Saddam stepped on his dick, and now GW's gonna kill the insane bastard. END OF STORY. On a positive note, real-estate will become readily available in downtown Bagdad and the surrouding suburbs.

                        America and Britain both sold weapons to iraq ( think the french sold a few too ) America and the british sas trained iraqi and taliban troops ( the sas traning took place up in the Scotish highlands ) We built the the chemical plants ( UK ) (( That's how we knew where it was )) and Cheney or Rumsfeld sold them the nerve gas ( Which is how they knew they had it ) Not sure who sold them the rockets Funnily enough at the time none them gave a crap about iragi people. In fact they were so concerned about them that they imposed the very sanctions that they are talking about sending humanitarian aid in to relieve the effects of.

Besides that, we were on those slanty-eyed little peckerwoods like white on rice within 18 months on entering the war. I would hardly call that "having our asses kicked". As for the French, if it wasn't for the US, they'd all be singing German love songs, sipping German wine, and eating strudel today, patting each other on the back and saying how good it is to be yellow-bellied cowards. Besides, we didn't enter the war to save the frogs, they got that for free because we were on our way to doing what they couldn't and wouldn't do - kill Nazis. The Brits would have done it wihtout our help, but they were too damn busy defending their country to take it back to the Germans. Face it - the US was pretty much the only country that had the industrial capability and manpower to fight the war on two fronts, and we kicked ass and took names. It helped that we were a bit pissed off at the japs because of Pearl Harbor. If you're too stupid to admit that without the US, Europe would have fallen to the Axis (or Russia), then you should become a human shield and stand in front of a bulldozer. Hmmm, let's see, I've diss'd the krouts, the japs, the ragheads, and probably insulted, shocked, and/or pissed off a good portion of CP members.

                                      :-D You're right. Tim's just messing with you. :-) There's a radio ad here that always starts out something like: Guys, are you satisfied with the size of yours? Do you wish you had a bigger one? Call SoAndSoTraining at blahblahblah and get yourself a bigger one. A bigger paycheck. ... :-) Regards, Alvaro

                                        Sure I am. We can use a little 4-grade humor to lighten up the end to a depressing week. :laugh: Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                                          The current difference between americans like you and germans is: We have learned from our mistakes !! And we don't need the f-word in every second sentence. But i am not angry about all americans because i know there are many who think the way i do: Mr. Bill Clinton, Mr. Jimmy Carter, Mr. Dustin Hoffman etc. People like you still think the indians where the bad ones and the cowboys where the good ones. The majority of the world says no to this war but you and your president and the rest of his staff don't care about that. And that makes me angry. A nice sentence i read in this forum: "America ignores the UN to show Sadam what happens when you ignore the UN." Simply stop pushing your opinion to every contry. Sascha
