Picking apart our use of cluster bombs right now. Apparently there are people that think we should stop using them, because they're "dangerous" and unexploded bomblets are "attractive to children." Apparently, they look like food packets (even though food packets are squares, and bomblets are cylinders) When did this STOP being a war, and start being some stupid PC campaign to save the children? This is a war, isn't it?

here's a link. I guess they're just as evil as landmines. [rolleyes]

No, not quite yet. When the "Islamic Gentlemen" detonate the WMD or Bioweapon and kill a "few" thousand more, then it will be a war.

Cluster bombs are cool.

I saw a video of Tornado dumping those out.

CNN....? Oh! You mean ANN (Anthrax News Network)

I think they're underestimating the Afghani children, those kids probably know a heck of a lot more about military hardware than the average US kid.

I just hope they don't really consider pen pals with the innocent Afghan children. Probably come back laced with ANTHRAX![X][X][X][X]

maybe they think a proper way to fight a war is to draw numbers, if your number gets drawn you are now a politicly correct war casualty and you are put to death in some humane way.

These people dont realize that war is horrable and that is why civalized people try not to envage in war.. the sheer horrow of what goes on during a war is suppsed to be a detterent to war....

I dont want to hear about how we are killing innocents over there from CNN anymore. theyve killed over 6000 here in an unprovoked attacked in a time of peace.
they had around 3-4 weeks to peacefully turn over the terroists,
But no they refused to resovle this peacefully because the did not think the US military would actually bomb.
they were wrong.
if they want their county to stop being bombed the answer is simple ,
turn over and stop suppurting these torrerist

I am ready for the big bombs to start dropping.

What do Kabul and Heroshima have in common?

Nothing Yet.

I hate CNN to by the way.

Heck... I'm gonna go and volunteer to paint pictures of food on the cluster bomb units before they're dropped.

Fuck the Talimonkeys.

Any Afghan kids who pick up cluster bomblets are probably doing so to recycle them in booby traps. [xx(]

Sorry guys, but I'm leaning the other way on this one. We need to stop the bombing immediately and start telling the American people the truth. Otherwise, it's just Soviet invasion, take II.

I have to agree with trickshot. Too many questions need to be answered.

Talking about stupidity, the local news anchor said this morning that "B-52's are dropping specially made carpet bombs that are designed to create large explosions" WTF? Talking about pulling bullsh!t out of your ass, just who told this joker about military hardware?
