Quoted: Quoted: 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. View Quote 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. [b]Payback Is A Bitch[/b] Semper Fidelis Jarhead out.

I feel a little better now. However,I will feel much better when the Taliban,Ben-L and all his followers both present and future have been vaporized. Guess this is just the start. Hope our pilots were yelling "Remember the Ala...er WTC" as they cut lose the munitions.

Wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall wherever U B Laden is now.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind being a civilian volunteer with our troops too. Let's go get'em! |

Man, I figured they'd attack in another few months, but I guess with Ramadan coming up, they wanted to attack before it...
All of us please say a prayer for the brave men and women who are on the front lines over there, that they may have the strength and saftey to carry out this mission. God Bless America! Stand tall and Stand proud! -Andrea |

The notion that anyone who would murder 5000+ noncombatants could have God on their side is patently ridiculous on the face of it.

There was a UAV circling over Kabul yesterday, and the Taliban spent a couple hours trying to shoot it down, thereby thoughtfully revealing the location of their anti-aircraft defenses. Most of which probably got a JDAM that night. Idjits.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them spend a week or two on SEAD. There's probably a ton of light AAA around. |

The one thing that would make this sweeter is if Jesse Jackson had gone and there was some "collateral damage".
I wish our US soldiers well, along with our British and Australian allies. |

Yea...the Hollywood warriors are all hunkered down in their mansions sweating this out behind their bodyguards. They must be terrified. Then there's the, "I just can't celebrate when our vicious military is bombing innocent people!" crowd.

I agree with you, and hope some information is disinformation...but I doubt it'd be used sufficiently. The "press" would be irate if they found out they were duped afterwards. The problem with the MTV generation (which I am supposed to be part of), is the instant gratification required.

Hell, I'm not against combat photogs or video cameramen going on a mission WITH the troops, they now the risk, and cover their own ass... then broadcast the mission AFTER THE FACT.

Wonder what that little bastard with the AK is doin' now?

Did anybody else notice bin Laden was wearing a Timex watch and wearing american camo? I'll bet that microphone he was using was not made in afghanistan either. [0j]Subvertz

POST EARLIER ABOUT ZSU-23 SHILKA's . That is perhaps the most deadly tripple A that Russia ever produced. And I saw a parade on the news with the ZSU's fully operating. Those things can put a hell of a lot of lead in the air.

Did anyone catch osamas speach. Did you catch yourself trying to see which way the sun was shinning? Did you try to figure out which way he was facing? Did you find yourself wondering, if the Area of land photographed (roughly 30 feet or so, could be mapped off the TV and matched to the correct land via computers and Satellites.

Ben is right...the ZSU-23 Shilka was and is a deadly weapon against low flying aircraft. The Soviets originally designed the weapon system to move with the advancing tank armies. It is automatic, accurate and delivers a fearsome firepower from its four 23mm machine cannons. It killed a lot of Israeli planes in the 1973 Yom Kippu War when the Arabs used the ZSUs in concert with mobile AA missile batteries and larger AAA guns that forced the Israeli pilots to fly below the minimum altitudes of these other weapons.
Having said that, the Shilka no longer poses the threat to our planes it once did. It is an easy target from medium altitude with laser guided bombs (LGBs) and cluster bombs. With the advent of these smart weapons, this beast no longer poses much of a threat, since the attacking aircraft can stay safely above the AAA guns of most calibers. [soapbox] |
