Precise Missiles

Post-9/11 Era Forum

I support the war, but the coalition military should stop bragging about the accuracy of their missiles. Results argue otherwise. More civilians will die, especially those used by cowardly Iraqis as human shields.

The coalition spokesmen have been honest about their mistakes. The Iraqis are incapable of honesty. It is very possible the missile that exploded in the marketplace was Iraqi because the coalition says they did not target that area and I believe them. In fact, the Iraqi regime has demonstrated that they are evil enough to bomb their own people and blame it on the coalition, knowing that many of the anti-war crowd will eagerly swallow any of Saddam's anti-coalition propaganda and promote it.

I agree...we said it so it must be true.

I'm just glad that we were able to so quickly take out those GPS Jammers that the Russians recently supplied Iraq with. Think of the consequences if those things were working? GPS is a key technology in allowing precision strikes within Bagdhad. If the those GPS Jammers were operational, our bombs wouldn't be striking the intended military target, but rather, and more likely, a civilian target. Boy, the liberals sure would have a hay day with that one.

I do understand the concerns that Russia may have about getting as much oil from Iraq after a regime change, but really, what a pathetic path they chose to ensure their share of Iraqi oil. I don't mean to sound surprised, because I am not. After all, this is Russia we are talking about here. A nation who has a long history of tainted horse puckey.

Of course, Russia as a military force doesn't concern me. Their military is so screwed up and outdated that fighting their way out of Saint Petersburg would probably be a challenge for them. They do have nukes, though, and for that we must respect them to some degree for our own sake.

What a brave and bold move by Saddam and his Russian comrades. Fits in perfectly, too, with Saddams past and current treatment of his own people.

Russians should be very proud right now. They should have a huge parade in Moscow, no doubt, where they can march up and down the streets with their heads held up high in pride of themselves.

Bravo Vladimir! Bravo!


And yes, DaddyDog, whilst we must extend a certain amount of supportive sympathy for J_Vance in his struggle to decide who or what he wants to believe: I, too, share your belief that reports from the Coalition have proven to a be a trustworthy source.

No sympathy needed tuff guy.

Neither the Coalition troops not the Iraqi army do I agree with .The idea of war itself is not permissible ; we have got to think about the casaulties of both sides .God don't agree too . let's make up our minds !

The identity is not that important . I can be whatever can not change the truth. I know beforehand what would be your reply .Yet we have got to be logical and positive rather that uttering swear words i.e nitwit ..etc. I wonder if I you have ever been at school stirring such inflamatory nonsense .
The idea of war is so bad in so far as it causes casaulties . The humane tendance is majestically imposing .No need to search for alibis .

" You liberal skanks are one strange breed of animal."
you nithead , dingbat pillock you opinions in the gutter to pollute the truth , be externalized out of secure pitch . no matter what u say the truth lays there trimphing .. stop .

No you are from Nowhere. Well good. That is precisely where you belong.

I am nobody from nowhere but not lost . you are somebody from somewhere yet you are lost ...! the truth is quite close .

yes thanks . I wonder if you can localize Morocco on the map .I is well known that you are bad in geography .

Your ideals are admirable, but have no connection with reality. This planet is never at peace because human beings are efficient, intelligent (relatively speaking) predators -- the only reason why the race has survived, out-maneuvering and outwitting bigger, stronger, and much more ferocious animals.

The Romans are alleged to have had almost 1,000 years of "peace" under "Pax Romana", established by the brilliant Emporer Augustus and his heirs, but "peace" was maintained by Roman Legions who were usually busy exterminating barbarians who threatened Rome. Peace was and is maintained by small wars.

Like it or not, the world, including Casablanca, Morroco, now lives under Pax Americana. This has been true since WWII when the USA defeated tyrants on opposite sides of the planet simultaneously, there by saving civilization (such as it is) for all other residents of planet Earth. People hate to be saved -- it is embarrassing and a sign of weakness -- therefore the US and its allies are usually hated, especially by a wormlike race called the "French."

Saddam is the latest barbarian who will be "taken-out." There are many others. The UN can help if it wants to, but they cannot agree on anything -- not even humanitarian aid -- and can you guess where the aid comes from: The USA! ! !

Morroco can help by sending dates, olives, turbans, sheets for formal wear, and camel meat. The Iraqis already have enough sand.

No charge for the history lesson.

MR daddyDOG , your judgement is of none value , you talk piffle .You have given me an idea about your short-sighted insights into facts and info . First I advice you to read more about world traditions , social philosophy , general historty . your comment is full of nauthy and hearsay evidence .N.B : Morocco was the first country, in 1777, to recognize American independence .. good luck

A human shield arrived from Iraq today and of course stated that they were against war however also was astounded by the fact that Baghdad hasen't been leveled. Was impressed with the precision of the bombs/missiles of Allied attack.

Saddam's henchmen have placed anti-aircraft weapons in civilian areas of Baghdad. What goes up must come down. It seems very likely that the markets were hit by Iraqi anti-aircraft missiles.

However, the coalition military says it "does not know." Why not? It seems easy to verify. They know the precise times at which they launch precise missiles. They know the precise time these missiles require to reach their targets. Therefore, they should know quite easily whether they fired missiles during that miniscule window of time when the events occurred. Simple mathmatics!

It should also be simple to electronically record launch times in a secure manner. (Hire Hans Blitz?) Secure, irrefutable data could prove that Saddam's thugs are killing their own people.

The coalition generals need to pay more attention to the impact of their missiles on the Iraqi people than on their impact on targets. If this continues, the USA/UK will lose their support.

There is another possible explanation: Having been in the US Army I know that many volunteers are missing brain matter, sign-up to be supported for life, are unaccustomed to thinking for themselves, and do stupid things.

PS: There is hope for J. Vance.

I can't believe it, one missle (if it was ours) goes astray and now we are targeting civilians. Come on folks get a grip.

Well, actually there were at least three stray missiles, one hitting a bus and two hitting markets. It's very, very unlikely that all were the coalition's. Unfortunately, people -- especially in the Arab world -- are eager to believe that the US/UK are the bad guys.

Meanwhile, the wormlike vice president of Iraq brags to the UN that they will use suicide bombers and other cowardly methods. The Peace Paraders remain silent about that.

Simple solution to false surrenders: Have them strip naked and if they are hiding bombs or weapons, immediately dispatch them to the rewards of the afterlife. If they are not, they can enjoy the Iraqi sun and sand and get their vitamin D.

If I'm not mistaken the bus was hit because they were taking out a bridge and the bus happend to be crossing the bridge at the time. Unfortunate mistake. The two markets that were hit may have been from Iraqi defence missiles, The Iraqi defence minister was replaced because of it. At least that what the speculation is at this time.
