I would say if its like was it supposed to go there's nothing left. The heat of that bomb rips skin and flesh right of the bones and pulverizes what's left. At least whoever was in the building when it was struck died instantly.

Abudhabi has a good link to. It is real player.

Looks like an F/A-18

[SirAllen]

Definitely not a 15, looks like an 18 actually.

[GOPyouth]

Ok folks, I've got to run down to the school to pick up a grade. I'll be back before too long. Luckily we got Foxnews on teh radio here ;)

[azGOPgal]

Can I just say that I am so freakin proud of our military and our President, along with coalition forces and PM Blaire?!!! They are all doing the right thing. The Iraqi people are going to be completely liberated soon and they will be able to know a freedom like they have never known. God Bless President Bush for having the cajones to do what others wouldn't. He truly is a man's man.
