Nor I. But they don't seem to mind. 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.

America 200+ years old....

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. :-)

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.

I wonder, was it confirmed, after the fact, that these people were
actually fighters en route to a nearby fire-fight? I sure hope so,
but y'know what with the blast damage and all, it might be kinda hard
to identify anything.

I've seen that same footage posted and it was supposedly a wedding party
and not combatants. Only those who were there know what it was in
reality.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

maybe the muslim veil was lifted from the bride and hence the resulting
"fleeing" of the building?

It was also reported that the "wedding party" was at 3am on the Syrian
border.

It's always a wedding party or a baby milk factory. It's unfortunate that
that region of the world is so f'ed up that public display of your AK-47 is
a sign of manhood, and firing assault weapons straight up into the air in
populated areas is a great way to celebrate a wedding.

Hey...maybe the F-16 was celebrating the same wedding!

Maybe they were just out jogging.

Maybe there was a "Blue Light Special" on head scarfs at the
neighborhood K-mart...
