It's a feature of Islamic warriors....

Christian men protect their women and children with their bodies.

Islamic men protect their bodies with their women and children.

Killing children is their specialty.

Nah, that title is reserved for NOW.

They know how we think. The sites with no children are the ones to watch. They figure we'll consider the sites being "protected" by children are major sites and that any other site isn't worth taking out, and in the process, they'll cause a stalemate with the help of the American left protesting any military action against little kids. It'll be a stall tactic playing on the sympathies of anti-American leftists around the world. Leaders in Iran are psychos, but they ain't stupid.

I agree that the statement about Iranian children was perjorative.

I had an Iranian friend that had a beautiful family, and we spent many an hour playing backgammon.

The Iranian people long to be free from the yoke of tyranny.

I think President Bush is going to scratch that itch.

With some preliminary testing and ruggedizing of the basic design, a Davy Crockett could probably be made to work within the old Tallboy design quite well.

If wanted, any of a variety of energetic boosters could be added nowadays to help with terminal velocity, and precision guidance could obviate the necessity for rotating the weapon and sacrificing velocity.

If that doesn't get it done, there are any number of weapons of artillery-shell size, starting with the old W-33 8"(203mm) shell (some of which may still be around) that could be mounted instead, with yields from 5-40 kt. That ought to do it.

The possibilities are listed here.

The W-88, if memory serves, is the weapon the design of which was stolen by the Chinese from Los Alamos.

If a single weapon is not likely to penetrate deeply enough to allow the "earthquake" technique to work properly, then there's a possible one-two technique: one weapon to loosen the material to be penetrated, and another following at a split-second interval, to achieve the deep penetration with the larger weapon that will finish the job.

In those 2000 years, there have been many wars.

Ah, yes. But none like this one. It is described very well in Ezekial.

How could anyone prdict that such a tiny piece of desert would become the focus of the whole world, such that it would lead to the total destruction of the world?

And if you don't think the current conditions in the middle east could lead to total nuclear war then ..........

I concur that there's no reason to be casting aspersions on Iranian kids. Children who don't yet have their majority are entitled to some protection.

And the Persians, as a people, were admired even in antiquity, when their civilization was already ancient. They were known once as devoted to veracity, and their people were graceful, if servile; but their culture came of age in the Middle East long after the Devil had made it his plaything and his personal catbox.

People haven't generally twigged yet to the fact that our President is trying to reintroduce the spirit of freedom and people's rule to a region that lost both to bullyboy god-kings like Saddam 6,000 years ago. Those people have lived in subjection and abasement for that long, and what George W. Bush is doing is absolutely radically visionary and, if he succeeds, a political earthquake that will provoke the wrath of Lucifer himself. Do you see any signs of anyone's getting that yet?

Things have changed in the past 15-20 years and we wont leave Israel swinging in the wind to defend its self against the rest of the Mideast.

We did exactly that in 1967, after we swore to Israel that if they gave up land for peace, we would defend them from attack by any arab nation that used the surrendered land as a stagimg area for an an attack.

When Israel called upon us to honor that agreement, we somehow could not find that document. Israel will soon lose two thirds of their people in an all out war, I wish I could be sure where we, as a Nation, will stand when this comes about.

I've heard that they built theirs much deeper under ground than Saddam did. They learned from his mistakes. I'm not sure our bunker busters would do the trick.

In case you missed the news, our bunker busters didn't bust Sadam's current bunkers.

From ABC News.

Designed by its German builder to withstand an atomic strike on the scale of Hiroshima, the bunker survived the war of 2003 intact.

The unmanned HCV would carry a payload of up to 12,000 lbs and could ultimately fly at speeds of up to 10 times the speed of sound, according to Daniel Goure, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute in Washington.

Propelling a warhead of that size at those speeds poses serious technological challenges and Darpa estimates it will take more than 20 years to develop.

Over the next seven years, meanwhile, the US air force and Darpa will develop a cheaper "global reach" weapons system relying on expendable rocket boosters, known as small launch vehicles (SLV) that would take a warhead into space and drop it over its target.

In US defence jargon, the warhead is known as a Com mon Aero Vehicle (Cav), an unpowered bomb which would be guided on to its target as it plummeted to earth at high and accelerating velocity.

The Cav could carry 1,000 lbs of explosives but at those speeds explosives may not be necessary. A simple titanium rod would be able to penetrate 70 feet of solid rock and the shock wave would have enormous destructive force. It could be used against deeply buried bunkers, the sort of target the air force is looking for new ways to attack.

Jane's Defence Weekly reported that the first Cav flight demonstration is provisionally scheduled by mid-2006, and the first SLV flight exercise would take place the next year. A test of the two systems combined would be carried out by late 2007. A prototype demonstrating HCV technology would be tested in 2009. SLV rockets will also give the air force a cheap and flexible means to launch military satellites at short notice, within weeks, days or even hours of a crisis developing. The SLV-Cav combination, according to the Darpa document, "will provide a near-term (approximately 2010) operational capability for prompt global strike from Consus (the continental US) while also enabling future development of a reusable HCV for the far-term (approximately 2025)". The range of this weapon is unclear.

"Those people have lived in subjection and abasement for that long, and what George W. Bush is doing is absolutely radically visionary and, if he succeeds, a political earthquake that will provoke the wrath of Lucifer himself."

Countries have the rulers they deserve. Other countries also have the right to exist. If a country with an irresponsible ruler and history threatens another country with destruction and acts accordingly, the other country MUST use the right to defend itself. There are no excuses not to, including worrying about who dies. If diplomacy fails, and it will with various countries, there are some other steps, one more serious than the next. A truce can take place before war, if it is honorable to both sides, otherwise there is war.

"In case you missed the news, our bunker busters didn't bust Sadam's current bunkers."

Since then our bunker busters were redesigned, and yes, I mean the current war.

I think I read somewhere that we sent some of our new and improved models the Israel also.

No one know how we would react if Israel were threatened AFTER Bush is out of office, but while he is in control they won't be left hanging.

If you want to go deeper into space, the PAC-3 antiballistic missile also doesn't carry explosives and relies on a direct hit. You won't find out if they are on booster rockets, though. We should assume they are. Look it up!

But seriously, it's just more indication that Muslims do not respect life, especially the lives of females.

Someone needs to assassinate that crazy president of Iran.
That's what people kept saying before Iraq too. Getting close to one of these dictators is next to impossible. Even if we got rid of Mahmoud, we'd still have Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to deal with. If he didn't support this it wouldn't be happening, as he and his cabal probably are the only people that could get the wet work done.

------You'd think the Iranians could come up with a suicide bomber on the right side, huh?

There are huge numbers of young Iranians yearning to be free. These children are just that, children. The scorn should be reserved for the parents and government who put them in that position.
