Thanks for that insight. That's the first -- and only -- reasoning as to why we are risking our troops' lives instead of just incinerating and rubblizing everything in (or out) of sight.

On the other side, you'll see the Arabic for Acme.

[grammymoon]

LOL, ACME.

We need bigger bombs.

The USAF is building a _30,000 lb_ guided bomb for the B2. Imagine a hollow, pointed, explosive filled, depleted uranium penetrator the length of a telephone pole and dropped from 40,000 feet.

I understand a total of three are in rush production and they all have Saddam Hussein's picture on the side.

Yup. I'd have coalition forces hang around long enough to starve the the camel-jockies to death.

The main gun on the tank in comment # 6 apparently had some sort of obstruction in the bore. Generally that's what gives the peeled banana look. You can do the same thing with deer rifle if you're dumb enough.

I think this illustrates well the dangers of a "Breach Birth". ;-)

WD-40...don't forget the WD-40

"Sergeant Jonathan Wightman said the first bunker was "like a goddamned castle. It was the best bunker I have ever seen".

Apparently, the bunker was not that effective!

The term is "smokin' 'em out."

Looks like a 200 lb. shell tried to go through the turret barrel with a 100 lb. shell capacity. And by golly it almost made it. The folks inside obviously didn't.

"The unit was tasked with ..."

I hate to be such a nitpicker, but this pretentious crap is phony journalism. Can't these ignoramuses look in the ---ing dictionary or thesaurus for a WORD?? A NOUN IS NOT A VERB. < /rant>

Don't laugh, but it can be VERY disconcerting to have a "dead man" continue to stare straight at you after you've popped him...
You always want to "make sure"....
