M-1A2 Tank.....2 gallons for every mile
B-2 Bomber.....1 Billon Dollars a copy
2 F-117 droping 4 bunker buster bombs on a half crazied ahole with WMD's.....Priceless!!!!

"The GBU-28 (Bunker Buster) is indeed a 5,000 pound bomb."

The GBU-28 is the bomb that we rushed and made in only 13 days during GW1 out of howitzer barrels. Two were used in an attempt to get Saddam then.

WHOOO-WAAA!!!

Don't you just love a free press?

Well, just dang! See there, we did finally find something to agree on! :-)

[mewzilla]

Have you been watching the morning CENTCOM briefings, complete with black and white glossy photos with circles and arrows on the front of each one? Going by their track record to date I don't think collateral damage will be too much of a concern.

[eddie willers]

DUmbasses strike again.

Freaked me out.

I imagine they are all self-flagellators like Fisk....

Heres a DU response:
scsifreak (322 posts) Apr-07-03, 09:40 PM (ET) 2. Does the story also say: LAST EDITED ON Apr-07-03 AT 09:40 PM (ET) ... they were bombed at one of their chemical weapon stashes, heavily involved in a meeting plotting to attack Israel, discussing on how to hide weapons in Syria and then had dinner with Osama Bin Hidin?

They want America to loose so badly. They are filth

[wimpycat]

I think you should give US intel a little bit more credit for dropping a whole arsenal on a house based on the word of a disgruntled taxi driver or other unreliable sources.

Give the Pentagon and CIA a little credit for knowing what they are doing, that they don't drop H-bombs (that's HUGH bombs) unless they're pretty darn confident of the intelligence.

[GnuHere]

Huh? I am assuming if they are reported as cousins, they are blood relations.

The Serbs say that those tunnels are at ear popping depths and can withstand a Hiroshima bomb at 250 yards. If the residential building was a cover for the lid of that thing then they would have to get them while they were entering. And if it is the cover then one would think that they would be visiting Saddam in it rather than him visiting them.

Well I hope he has CNN inside, because if all the tunnel exits are blocked, he's gonna be there a long time.

[Dr.Deth]

Shepard on Fox said it looks like the three went into a building and did not come out.

Oh, they came out. Molecule by molecule.

[Constitution Day]

Bwahahahaha!!

Actually, Sean had a good segment coming up with Newt which I wanted to see. For my money, they could have saved this for Greta's segment.

[Timesink]

I hate to burst everyones' bubbles, but my guess is that we got an "excellent tip" that cause us to blow up a residential area and inflict a good number of civilian casualties. Flame suit on.

In all honesty, I couldn't care less if it is a total screwup that caused a good number of civilian casualties and nothing else. Welcome to war.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Okay, maybe it's just me, but...

Every time they've shown the Saddam "walking around" videos, the reporters state that the biometrics experts have concluded that it is Saddam. No way... that goofball walking around is really fake-looking. The guy isn't even built like Saddam, but he does look like the same clown who did that speech with the Hans Blix glasses. It was starting to remind me of the movies Moon over Parador and Dave.

Now all of a sudden, it is claimed that Saddam and Sons have been felled in one swoop. Never mind that the Iraqi forces never seemed to have any leadership coordination. Manufactured time of death, weeks after the actual event?

Not that I'm complaining if they're dead, but sheesh.

"... the commercial went like "The Roach Motel, you can check in, but you can't check out!"

[Doomonyou]

After 4 bunker busters, something other than a shovel may be needed to pick up Saddam...

Tweesers may be in order.

[SC Swamp Fox]

From DU:
I just don't believe these guys!

That's unbelievable. I couldn't write that crap as fiction...and he is for real.
