Fox News reporting a "Bulldozer" is wreaking havoc

I never knew that a "bull dozer" as reported by Fox News, had a forty foot verticle reach to tear down buildings. These idiots are as dopey as democrats. There are back-hoes, bucket-loaders, dozers, dump-trucks, etc. When is the media ever going to learn or understand anything?

Sheesh!

Fox just ran a graphic on screen that Isreal has planted it's flag in Arafat's compound!!!

[Hugin]

Can't you put a backhoe on a bulldozer?

[nhoward14]

I wonder how much longer it is until Rita Cosby takes a call from "General" Arafat...

Fox just ran a graphic on screen that Isreal has planted it's flag in Arafat's compound!!!

Please tell me that "compound" translates into "rear end".

From Ha aretz News Flash:

01:51 Ambassador to U.S. Dani Ayalon: Arafat will not be harmed, his office building will not come tumbling down on him

[John Jamieson]

I've seen said "bull doser". It a huge "Bull Doser" blade mounted on a huge military tank. It could do just exactly what they said it can.

That'll happen at about the same time "the people" learn how an image is taken from a studio and projected onto a TV screen. I also wonder why a lot of folks get so anal about things like the chambering of a bullet or the combustion cycle of a turbine engine.

If Fox says its a bulldozer then I get the idea, sheesh.

THe media's going ape sh!T for an ape, so what? I guess we are supposed to have a civilized western media, and that's real bad.

[Alas Babylon!]

Oh BS!!!! If they wanted to do that, it would have happened a long time ago. If anything, the Israelis are showing way to MUCH constraint, IMHO. I would've busted a cap on Arafat when the suicide/homicide bombers first started.

[hole_n_one]

I believe is the "bull dozer" currently being used on what's left of Arafat's compound.......

[bert]

It looks to me like the bulldozer is tearing down the "cement"buildings walls.

[Joe Hadenuf]

We have yet to see a bulldozer in these images.

[Joe Hadenuf]

You bet, they gave a five minute deadline and that was two hours ago. They have a hydraulic shovel chipping away at the windows. This is a mighty weak way to deal with terrorist...

The piece of equipment that I saw on Fox News was not a bulldozer. It had a "shovel" at the end of the boom. A bulldozer has a blade. The piece of equipment tearing down Arrafat's office is similar to what Caterpillar calls a "hydraulic excavator", which can be seen at:

Yes you can. But I understand why any news service would not want to call anything a backhoe, most of the networks viewers would think bacho, which is a female person with dark skin, engaging in the worlds oldest profession. Poor choice of words when talking about construction/destruction equipment.

[tall_tex]

Just saw the picture also, an excator, is actually a front ho. Much diferent from a bacho..

[chainsaw]

A D-11 catapillar is two stories tall, weights 300 thousand pounds, has an 850 horse diesel engine, uses 100 gallons of fuel per hour and cost 1.3 million dollars. You don't see many of those around. But, I imagine they could equip one with an eighty foot boom if they had too.

There's a picture on Diogenes's thread. It looks like a huge backhoe or excavator. The bucket is breaking off the third story of one of the buildings.
