Shock and Awe

I was really hoping we wouldn't have to do this. <shudder>

Man, I'm sick to my stomach watching this. I really wish they had surrendered before it came to this.

Plus, since we're destroying palaces and such, we're probably destroying evidence of things we'll want to know about after the war.

Agreed buddy. Let's hope that things end as quickly and painlessly as possible. There are good signs that the American troops are being welcomed: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=540&u=/ap/20030321/...
Let's hope that it continues.

Ugh. My jaw dropped when I saw the strikes during lunch. The three MOABs were huge--so much destruction. I'm with Bri--let's hope this ends quickly.

I don't think they used any MOAB's man. Mostly satellite guided Tomahawks, I think.

Could be. They used JDAMs, I think, whatever they are, and some bunker busters, if those are different, but I thought MOABs were bigger than anything they used. I could be wrong.

A MOAB is supposed to be similar to a very small focued nuke, I think.

Yeah, I heard the MOAB is like a small nuke. After hearing more on the news about MOABs, it turns out none have been used yet.

This war is stupid shit, thanks to our hawk-crazed president and company. Let me see if I understand the reason, we're going to invade a country, under the guise of finding WMD, we're going to oust a tyrant, at the expense of hundreds of lives (most innocent), we're going to destroy infrastructure then take out hard-earned tax dollars to re-build the infrastructure, then we'll put in place a military gov't , keep 50K+ troops all for what, probably a couple of spent VX shells. So how does Mr. Bush think is this going to prevent some crazed terrorists somewhere in Lybia or Syria or Indonesia from plotting attacks on the US? The only good news is that the election is next year.. and this nonsense will come to an end then..

Whoa, Tony. I wouldn't expect that from you. One of these days we'll get to go out to lunch or dinner and we can talk about this if you want Smiley However, I'd bet money that Bush will win the election next year.
