A recent report by Handicap International claimed that 98 percent of casualties from cluster munitions are non-combatants.

I have to seriously call BS on that one. We drop cluster bombs on enemies out in the open, and it kills a LOT of them.

I agree.

From the report:

"Nearly all recorded cluster submunitions
casualties are civilian, i.e. 98 percent. Only 124
military and 59 demining casualties have been
recorded."

Not a large sampling at all. There are more Google videos of AQ getting zotted from cluster bombs then "recorded" civilian casualties.

You can bet the 45 nations who banned these bombs never had to use even one.We need these weapons,we have a lot of bad guys to kill in the next 10 years or so.
