U.S. B-52 Bombs Tora Bora Area (as deadline passes)

TORA BORA, Afghanistan –– A U.S. B-52 aircraft bombed the Tora Bora area on Wednesday after cornered al-Qaida forces ignored a surrender deadline set by the opposing tribal eastern alliance.

Journalists were kept away from the area by alliance fighters, who earlier confirmed that no al-Qaida forces had given up.

It was unclear whether the bombs directly hit a canyon occupied by al-Qaida members. However, gunfire could be heard coming from the area

Bomb 'em to hell.

They'll probably be glad just to get be out of Tora Bora (although they'll need a welcome sign to realize it..)

so let's have a Bar-B-Q. I don't mind burning them alive.

Then you vote for Fuel Air Explosives or Napalm, although AFAIK, we don't have any more nape. More's the pity. I might be wrong about that though, since the FAS MK77 page says that we still have the 1000 lb version. If we still have 'em I say: "Let Fly"

On remnants of a CBU87 cluster bomb, an American soldier had written before dropping his weapon: “For those whose dreams were taken, Here are a few nightmares. This is gonna shine like a diamond in a goat’s ass.”

Gotta love it, Poetry in Motion!!! God Bless America, and damn those bas##$s to H#$l!!!!

Just think of all the intolerable comments we would have to be subjected to by the likes of Gloria Allred and Eleanor Clift. It makes my skin crawl to think of it.
