I don't give a crap if thermobaric bombs do violate international law. The people who moan that America is violating international law have have a way of going silent real quick when the discussion turns to the killing of Danny Pearl or the use of a 10-year-old kid to blow up Israeli soldiers today.

Thanks for hitting the bump lists!

"Terrorists", by definition, are not covered by the laws of war.
They are the modern day equivalent of pirates of yore,
who were declared to "be the enemy of all civilized men"

I agree with that. We should take out those rodents by any reasonable means possible.

If you wanna make an omlette a BLU-118/B is an excellent start.

This rag makes Pravda look reactionary.

The nice thing is that I can now donate my empty Duff cans instead of dumping them in the wildlife preserve, as I usually do. I never had a reason to recycle aluminum, but now I do. Thank you BLU-118/B!

thermobaric bombs Now that's what I want to hear!

Can someone explain why a 2 stage weapon constitutes a weapon of mass destruction? Is this a treaty technicality? It would seem (to my literally oriented brain) that a WMD is one that causes massive destruction regardless of how many stages it uses.
To: Straight Vermonter
I'm wondering about the 2-stage concept myself. If I have a 2-stage M-80 firecracker, is that a weapon of mass destruction? The U.N. probably thinks so. Morons.
To: Straight Vermonter
I guess these morons want use to dust bombs on our enemies.

Correction. That's the
The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionConstipation. Just for the record...
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
I agree, the idea in war is to kill the other guy before he can kill you. Who cares how your enemy died, the important thing is that he is dead and that he died before he could kill you or yours.

Memo to
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The opposition used hijacked airliners to massacre innocent civilians by the thousands.
Memo to U.S. Air Force: The designated test range for the BLU-118/C shall be the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
To: Straight Vermonter
I don't understand either. Also, why would any country sign such an absurd treaty.

It's not fair. We have them and they don't. Is that sporting? We have to supply them with thermobaric bombs so that it will be a fair fight. [/liberal whine off]
