jraf 0 #27 March 21, 2003 QuoteShock and Awe... Class, will you please take out your erasers and remove Iraq from your maps... I find your sense of humor a bit disturbing. I hope you will never experience what is happening to people out there. Weather you support this war or not, boasting about people being killed is the trait of very small and simple minds.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

Push 0 #29 March 21, 2003 Please guys, no matter what our views are, lets not start an argument now. The possibility of half of downtown Baghdad erased makes me sick to my stomach. I can't wait to read the news in a couple of hours to find out for sure that the American command did not commit an atrocity. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Yup, and add to that a mix of a bunch of pain pills I've had the TV on CNN pretty much constantly, caught the beginning and just about crapped my pants. It's so much more intense than I was expecting. I'm wondering what effect the intense media coverage is going to have on the creation/prevention of future wars. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jraf 0 #35 March 21, 2003 The media coverage will first show the bombing and then it will show the dead civilians. After that we will be the world's new Huns.

Craig 0 #36 March 21, 2003 Just for the record military targets are only being targeted. The bombings are by precision guided missles and bombs, not just carpet bombing the city with whatever we can find to drop out of a plane or launch from sea or land like some think. Not to say there can't be civilian casualties but... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jraf 0 #39 March 21, 2003 Yes, oh military genious, look at the first page of CNN.com and notice the row of explosions coming in equal distances one by one down a section of the city. Are you telling me these were smart bombs. Our command decided to destroy every 4th building on that street? Do you still want to save the children? Then go and work the cleanup, and see for yourself. War without victims - how gullible can you be? jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

I didn't see houses and hospitals. QuoteAre you telling me these were smart bombs. Our command decided to destroy every 4th building on that street? Are you sure you are not watching Iraqi TV? From what I saw and what was said they were hitting the same places to destroy bunkers under each building. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be happy to lock threads, edit posts and ultimately ban people who can't seem to abide by the rules. Specifically the first one. It's really simple. Don't attack people. You've all been given LOTS of slack recently because of the emotions involved in this issue, but the attacks on the people instead of the issues are getting very, very old. A hint - if your comment is aimed at one person, there's a good chance it's going to be considered an attack. Take it to PM's.. or better yet, don't type it at all.
