http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...%20Falluja.wmv
According to the person who sent it, this video was recently taken from an F-16 on a bombing mission in Fallujah, Iraq. The pilot is bombing a safehouse for insurgents. As the bomb is falling, the house begins to empty of fighters, all en route to a nearby fire-fight with U.S. Marines. The pilot notes this, and seeks (and is granted) permission to change his targeting from the house to the fighters -- with incredible results. It's an amazing display of technology and precision bombing. I sure as hell would not want to be fighting against that kind of firepower. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

And I believe that should our country be invaded in a like manner, we would fight back as hard, in any way available to us. "Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, a veteran of many years [of] service in Special Forces and the super-secret Delta Force who was brought out of retirement to run the Army, said: 'This war cannot be won militarily. The gun will not win this one. This is a clash of ideas, an information war.'" The Bushies and hard right will never understand this. |

All that the United States is trying to do is buy enough time to give democracy a chance to take hold there. |

You make these terrorist murderers sound like freedom fighters... do you and your terrorist bretheren forget so easily the systematic torture and rape of Iraqi citizens, the payments to Palestineian Homicide bombers, the safe harbor granted to internation terrorists, the developement and acquistion of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, the DAILY attacks on colalition forces enforcing the UN no-fly zones, billions siphoned off to build palaces while people starved? The invasion of neighboring countries, the 12 years of the despots middle finger waving openly in the face of the Internation community??? Now we have these islamo-facists animals standing up on Irans money, they need to be swiftly kicked in the ass,....no let me say clearly, they need to be killed, stomped on, rolled over upon. Give these Iraqis a chance at freedom not a life controlled by Facists that curse the name of God, calling for murder and mayhem in his name. Geez you liberal POS will you people ever understand that they will cut your throat regardless of how much you hug them. You *******s did it in the 60's and left a nation in communistic chains.. we will not allow you to do that again. So NO, If my mother was raped in front of me and my sister thrown to starving lions to be mauled to death I would not fight the very people that liberated me from that horror. -Doug "I AM THE FAR RIGHT" |

Middle East, how old is the human species... They have been killing each other since the dawn on man, don't blame the USA on their inability to throw that stupid book in the trash. |

Amazing.... I have to wonder though if the "Oh Dude!!" heard at the end
was proper phraseology. :-) Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA Student Aircraft Purchaser Jay Honeck wrote: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...%20Falluja.wmv According to the person who sent it, this video was recently taken from an F-16 on a bombing mission in Fallujah, Iraq.

And just how stable is this democracy going to be, when (1) the population has essentially no experience in running a democracy, (2) they have essentially no stake in the formation of that democracy (since it is, in essence, being imposed upon them, rather than being something they've earned), and (3) are part of a culture where there is a significant faction that seriously believes a democracy is blasphemy because it is not a theocracy based on "the true word".

It is made much more complicated by the external forces (Iran, Syria, Al Queda, etc) meddling around. My feeling is that regardless of how we got to this point, we need more of a cooperative international effort to get some sort of resolution, no matter how perfect or imperfect. But who am I to say, I'm certainly no expert on these matters (not that the "experts" have done any better, mind you). |

How many brothers or sons have you lost in combat in Iraq, Doug? I find it
interesting that you always find the extreme right on the outside of the perimeter fence around any military installation. Those inside are usually not quite so vociferous.
