I am surprised. I really thought it would be an SOF type only action. Maybe Washington is just tired of dealing with the goofy Taliban.

It is the year 2034, and a man is taking his small son for a  walk along
the Hudson River. They pass a park  with a big monument in it.  "Dad, what's that monument for?", asks the boy.  
The dad says "Well son, that park is
where the Twin Towers were.".  
The boy  asks "What were the Twin Towers?"
The  man pauses and says "They were some of America's tallest buildings and they
were knocked down by Arabs."  
The boy  looks up and says " What were Arabs?".

As I pointed out to my friend, kill-9, philosophically these dirt-bags are already in the stone age however they have some products created by productive men that we need to deprive them of.  Electric power, AK-47's, indoor plumbing, etc.  

You assh*les can either learn to use REASON, how to respect RIGHTS, and how to be CAPITALISTS or continue to live in the stone age.  

We will take away every product of man's mind that you have parasitized from others and leave you to live in your caves, hunt with spears, and rub sticks to make fire.

Well guys, IT HAS BEGUN indeed. Now we actually get to see how many terrorist are already here in the US. You know that with this strike, these lil terrorists cells that are already here will be activated and hopefully flushed it before they do anything substantial.

On a side note I think that this will rally "The People" behind GW and his entire cabinet. If this continues, you what that mean. GW in 2004. Secondly, it will take some focus away from gun laws and maybe forgo re-signing of the AW ban. [fingers crossed]

If France does send troops, I might actually have to start respecting that country.

All France has going for them now is they aren't as evnironmentally crazy as the rest of the EU.

Cheney has not been seen in a LONG time.  I am beginning to think something may have happened...you all know what Im thinking but I dont want to say it, given the monitoring of boards like this.

Either that or theyre trying to let bush do all the "work" so people stop calling cheney "the president".

Did anyone else get a tingle up your spine and a big smile on your face when you heard of the strikes?  I sure did.  Maybe it was the same feeling the WWII generation felt when US troops started walking up the islands toward Japan.  It is a good feeling knowing that some feeble terrorist is cowering in his foxhole or in a cave.

LET THE BEATINGS BEGIN!!!  I hope we get to bitch slap bin Laden before he is eaither put to death or locked up....

Bush, again, gave a great speech.  Same with Blair.

I understand that a lot of their AA stuff was triaxial 12.7mm machineguns. These started their lives as Russian ZSU-23s, which are radar guided, where the guns are slaved to the radar to knock down whatever radar target the operator selects. I imagine that the Taliban was unable to maintain the radar part, and dismounted the guns from the ZSU vehicles. I have seen news footage of these things mounted in the back of pickup trucks, like the "technicals" used by the Somalis.

Good luck trying to hit an F-16 travelling at 1.4 Mach with a tri-ax .51 caliber machinegun operated by hand, Abdul.

I like the S.O.D.'s response to the reporters..."I am disinclined to comment on actions that are on-going." when a reporter asked if any troops were on the ground. THese anti-everything except "free speech" reporters are killing me with their questions!

They must not realize the eneny watches CNN too!!

I am all for government disclosure AFTER the fact of a mission. I don't want the reporters filming troops landing at a beach where the enemy can know what's going on.

Come on, No_Expert, don't you know these leeches need to maintain their "impartiality?" These are the same ones who would watch US troops get ambushed without saying a word if they had advance warning of it. I mean, if they said something, there wouldn't be an ambush to cover and look dramatic in that safari jacket, would there?

What happened to the days of Ernie Pyle? This guy was a reporter who covered the wars, but he was an American first, and fiercely proud of it.
