Israeli Bulldozers To Be Used In Iraq

Israel National News (Arutz 7) ^ | Apr. 3, 2003

Foreign reports state that Israel transferred to the United States, shortly before the current war in Iraq, giant bulletproof D-9 bulldozers. The IDF uses them in its counter-terrorism war in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in missions such as plowing roadblocking-ditches and clearing paths for tanks. It appears that the Americans will use them in the upcoming battle in Baghdad.

Go for it.

Now that's the way to take care of the house to house fighting...

The solution is easy... someone shoots from a house, you tear down the house.

This represents an intelligence test for the human shields in Baghdad. Let's call it the Corrie cutoff...

[EaglesUpForever]

I don't think this makes the best PR. Al-Jazeera could have a field day, we will see...

But militarily, whatever it takes to save American lives and get this over with quickly.

[Steel Wolf]

They've been proven to be very effective against anti-Americanism in the past.

I hope they don't leave the star of David on them

[ambrose]

Oh yes, let's hope some of Rachel Corrie's ilk find their way in front of our bulldozers.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

How can you say a thing like that? If someone tries to stand in front of a bulldozer in Iraq, we'll call in an airstrike first.

Correction: The IDF uses them in its counter-terrorism war in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in missions such as plowing roadblocking-ditches, mowing down rabid, anti-American, anti-Israeli, granola-eating, Birkenstock-wearing idiots, and clearing paths for tanks.

... giant bulletproof D-9 bulldozers

The Corrie-vette model.

[tomahawk]

Excellent. Israeli bulldozers work well.

[Grampa Dave]

Good news. The IDF has proven if someone shoots at you from a building,, you just go about buildings down and drive through the attached buildings. Take out the snipers and keep going.

[b4its2late]

Good one.

[AmericanInTokyo]

fine work. but better take those stars of david off of 'em first!

[bigfootbob]

you're bad! :)

[optik_b]

This could be a PR nightmare if it is portrayed that we are going to be using them like the Israelis to make it into an "occupied territory." That is not our intention, but I'm sure the propoganda news outlets like Al Jazeera will be all over this story.

[Grampa Dave]

GW has been practicing using the big dozers to plow through enemy snipers!

[Marysecretary]

The Israelis have been doing it for years!

We are gonna use these to dig a deep hole where Saddam and his cronies may be hiding:
