April 3, 2003 -- The U.S. Air Force unleashed a deadly new weapon during yesterday's onslaught against armored Republican Guard units - precision-guided cluster bombs that seek out and destroy dozens of combat vehicles in a single attack.

B-52s carried six of the precision-guided bombs to the battlefield, where they were used to cut down a Republican Guard tank column as it advanced on approaching U.S. troops.

Smart Bomb Swarm! A bomb that breaks into multi hunter seeker bomblets. Cool stuff.

They were on TV and looked good. A disperser and demoralizer of Republican Guards. These "Guards" should never been bunched up out of town but Saddam wanted them out due to fears of coup de tete. They were cannon fodder for the evil doer.

due to fears of coup de tete.

I think you meant to use "coup d'etat," which means strike at the state and is the standard phrase. "Coup de tete" means strike at the head and I guess that works, too.

[dennisw]

Both have the same meaning but your way is the real way to spell it.

[dennisw]

Actually in one you strike at the head ...other at the state.
