I'm not generally worried about public opinion and having lived in Connecticut (liberaland) am used to being on a different side than those around me. However, my fear is the world will not forgive our use of such overwhelming force. I'm not debating the correctness of our action - history will judge that and I believe in our cause. But PR being what it is today - it's going to be a hard image to overcome. Just my humble opinion.

Be Seeing You,

I'm sad it's come to this and am shaking. Those A-10's - not my step-sons so far.

If it's any comfort, the A-10 is the most robust plane ever flown. It's designed to bring the pilot back no matter what!

The airframe can take a LOT of abuse, GF1 had a plane return with a 6' diameter hole in a wing.

The pilot sits in a thick bullet PROOF and explosive shell resistant bathtub.

Should my son (9 yo, now) end up in military aviation this is the plane I want him to fly...

I know; I refer many appeasers to articles stating how many innocents, especially children, die each month in Iraq. It's more than we killed in two months than we accidentally killed in the entire Gulf War.

It was a lot of bombs, but they were precision weapons.

Just you wait till we start to open up the WMD depots, and also all the prisons, and the torture chambers, and the Iraqis start to tell the story of living in hell for 25 years.....

Did anyone see on ESPN of all places last night, a story about how Uday tortured the Iraqi Olympians? It was horrible. One man had scars on his wrists and ankles where he had been chained to the walls in a weird standing position with his hands behind his back for 3 days! Another man talked about how Uday has a secret jail in thier Olympic headquarters that was about the size of an average hotel room. He said it would be filled with maybe 5-10 people for weeks at a time.

You can't live your life by PR... the US is damned if we do and damned if we don't. You do what is right and continue on...

We are doing this because on 9/11, 3,000 people went to work... and never came home! Remember them... and forget the world.

FN: SHEP:

Turks HAVE allowed two corridors of air space over Turkey.

Iraqis don't know who's in charge. They're confused, disoriented and "jumbled".

Chris Kline in N. Iraq:

Watching the bombing of Kirkuk some 20 miles away..."like the center of a furnace." "Death and destruction is raining down.."
