Is this the twin rear engine, twin tail boom planes? I thought I ask a question earlier if the Russians used cluster bombs or FAE bombs in Afghanistan? Anybody know.

This is not just about Afghanistan or Bin Laden, it's about Western civilization against Islam, Islamic fundamentalism and the Arab world. These people will NEVER, NEVER make accomodation or peace with us and will never, never accept us or our way of life.

You're thinking of the A-10 Warthog.

As I understand it, the Russians perfected the use of Fuel/Air bombs in Afganistan. They call them 'Vacuum Bombs,' and they developed them specifically to bust out fighters hiding in the caves.

Somehow, the fighters survived anyway. I hope ours are more effective than the Soviet models.
