  • "Who Fired On The Helicopters?"



    Sometimes I wish we didn't have such powerful weapons.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

    CNN is citing officials as saying it was an "errant bomb."

      Well, "errant" can be taken two ways. Errant in the malfunction sense and errant in that it hit the target but our targeting was errant.

          This is not good for PR or for the heroic effort against terror in Afghanistan.

          Why do people fire guns in the air at weddings? I'de think the government would warn them. Or we should..

              CNN's saying B-52 and AC-130 gunships were called in for air support after some US planes came under AAA fire.

              One of the possible scenerios is anti-aircraft fire falling back to the earth.

                  Anti-aircraft? While I don't know enough to judge, it just strikes me as unlikely.

                          CNN says 4 deaths right now, MSNBC says 250, the real number is probably inbetween

                              what's wrong with this text?
                              Afghans often fire guns in the air during weddings and other celebrations.

                              An AC-130 gunship, a B-52 bomber and other aircraft were involved in the air strikes.

                              fire guns vs b-52???
