Firstly, guerilla warfare will rarely allow for the use of any kind of artillery or mortars. Secondly, how is someone on a phone supposed to direct mortars? Thirdly, the phone might look suspicious, but a fuck off cannon in the middle of the street will.
I respect your opinion Kombucha, but it is very clear that you don't know much about warfare or what is really going down in Iraq. The insurgents use mortars daily to attack our troops, because they can shoot from concealed positions. The person on the cellphone is talking to someone on the mortar team. He gives them target updates and corrects their fire to get it on target. It is really quite simple. For example, if rounds are landing to the right of your target tell the guys to shoot a little left and you correct their fire until they get on target. Mortars can be setup and shooting in minutes and you will not see them when they are shooting at you. Therefore you kill the guy with the phone(forward observer) as he is the eyes of the mortar team and they are shooting blind without an observer. Understand????Quote:

I'd like to pose a scenario. The leader of a country got it in their mind that the USA had weapons of mass destruction that they will use against other countries to take innocent lives. The country says USA let us into your country, into the white house and all military bases to look for these Nuclear weapons because as history has shown us (Japan and Vietnam) you have blown up and poisoned innocent civilians that had nothing to do with the war before. No says the President this is our country and we have the right to protect our freedom. The other country says fuck you we are going to invade and we will find these weapons and over throw this evil government for the sake of the people and in the process of doing this we will use our businesses to rebuild your cities. We are doing this for the good of your people they must be freed from this lying cheating government.
In such a case would the government of the USA use what ever they had to get this invading force out of the country? I think they would and they would still believe they were good and the other country was evil.
Whilst you're arguement is valid in one sense, Mrs Potatohead, there is one fundamental issue that you haven't provided for in your thesis.
President Bush (like him or not), is not mass murdering his own countrymen, just because they don't agree with his 'regime'.
Other than that, your theory holds water :D
Yeah I know, but is that the real reason he invaded or was it just a good excuse to invade a country that the USA has been wanting to invade for a long time? If they really where interested in the fate of humans under a dictatorship, then why don't they help people in Burma and many other people suffering under the plight of a murderous dictatorships. Look at what they did in Afgahnistan all they wanted Osama they didn't really care about the people because they didn't stick around to help rebuild the country or get rid of the masses of landmines that are stopping people from supporting themselve. They haven't left Iraq yet, not because they want to help but because they haven't got what they wanted, which is more economic control of the middle east and the oil lines.Quote:

President Bush is correct in wanting to develope and field,Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrators,as America may soon have to use either RNEP's or other strategic and tactical nuclear weapons against Iran or North Korea.
Iran,desires to nuke Israel, and North Korea desires to nuke South Korea,Japan and the United States-if need be-we will use any weapon in our arsenal,to prevent or stop,attacks against democratic countries and allies -especially,if those attacks..are nuclear,chemical or biological.
Have a good one...Torog
PS: I apologize in advance-for any horror I may cause...
What no comments on vietnam? Japan was not responsible. They blew up hospitals and schools and generations of japanese people have suffered from different this attack. As for Isreal they are a terrosist country themselves built on war mongering with the help of the US.Quote:

We were estimating 1 million casualties in just the first few days of that invasion. I'd say the 2 atomic bombs were justified.Quote:

Have you ever heard of a single report of a Jew going into Gaza or the West Bank,and blowing themselves up ? Have you heard of any Jews that stopped a car with a pregnant mother and her four daughters-and brutally slaughtered them all ?
Israel,is not the terrorist,for defending themselves against the terrorists.
My girlfriend is Jewish,does that make her a terrorist in your eye's ?
