Some yahoo brought his 3 year old to lie in the traffic with him at the Fed Bldg in L.A Definitely child endangerment. Pisses me off to no end when people do horrible things like this.

Kuwaiti citizen Ahmed Hussein Ahmad claps March 20, 2003 and shouts 'Bush is a real man! God save him, his father liberated Kuwait, and now his son Bush is liberating Iraq (news - web sites).' The United States unleashed a war to overthrow President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) on Thursday with selective dawn missile and aircraft strikes on Baghdad.

I think for the MOAB they use the "Spinal Tap" Version, the C131, because it is "one" more!

Oh my, how unsettling not to know! I sure will pray about that.
Of course, given how quickly and successfully things are going over there, maybe we can assume Eric is there, speeding things along......?
To: RummyChick
Sweet picture and caption!
Did you ever find the one of the lady hugging the soldier?
To: Mjaye
Some yahoo brought his 3 year old to lie in the traffic with him at the Fed Bldg in L.A, I think it was. What an idiot. I haven't listened to much local radio today, but I'm almost positive that I heard that Mayor Daley is going to press charges on those who were arrested yesterday in the protest. I heard yesterday that the San Francisco people were being let go with a warning. I NEVER usually agree with the Mayor, but this is one time I do. Yesterday before they started protesting he said, "They oughta stay in school and learn some history instead of walking out."
To: abnegation
Last wk when they tested the MOAB, wasn't that the first test ever? If so, seems to me, they wouldn't dare risk trying it near populated areas. I'm guessing it would be more like in the other towns like Kirkuk or Mosul or maybe even way outside of Baghdad.
To: Jorge
Jorge you have to watch the full video clip....it was a sight to see.
They hit one building with 7 missiles.......and the last bomb looked like a 2,000 lb. bunker buster.

It becomes very personal, and not just a theoretical argument when you know that your son's life might depend on someone's ability to carry him off the battlefield if he's wounded.
The FemiNazi's can rant all they want. If a woman wants to be on the front lines, she has to be as physically strong as a man. And she can't cry if things get too hard for her either.

Thank you for your insights...and your common sense, z. Hope you're still involved in DC politics. It takes a special breed of patriot, imho.

I think it was the first test of it at its highest yield, but I think they've tested it before
That said, I doubt it'll be used, its more a physcological deterrent, too powerful for in the city, too much risk of civilian casualties
