    but if you classify yourself as somebody who does not like France because of its opposition to the war and such


    I disliked the French long before war in Iraq was being contemplated. Current events have only strenghthened my already existing views on that proud people...

      May I ask why?

      What are your answers to some of my other questions?

        BTW, some of those explosions looked like free fall bombs from heavy bombers, the explosions "blinked" too much for them to have been single bombs. Other explosions do seem to be smart bomb direct hits so I guess they're using a combination of B-2/B-52s and F-117s.

        So much for "surgical" strikes...

        BTW, air defenses really looked pathetic, plus, if they did do B-52 strikes that means there's not much opposition.

          Fly in your soup last time in Paris?

          Please Drake, I'd like to hear why!

            I wonder if those Iraqi AAA sites could even hit B-52's flying at high altitude?

              You have to ask why I dislike the French? Pick up a history book and you'll find all kinds of reasons...

              As for Saudi Arabia and Syria, I don't like them either and would be fine with a boycott on their products. Hopefully a democratic Iraq will provide us with a real friend in the Middle East so that we can dump the Saudis...

                Modern AAA is mainly light, maybe up to 50-55 mm, so no, it does not reach as high as B-52's. thats what SAM's are for. Also, any strikes from B-52's against Baghdad would be made using stand-of weapons like air-launched cruise missiles. This isn't Hanoi in 1972.

                    It better happen or this whole endeavor has just been a waste of time. You can't beat terrorism if you don't remake the poltical landscape of the region...

                          Then it was B-2s. Some of those explosions did not look like precision bombs (think of ww2 bombardments looking from below and thats what I think they look like)

                            I'm against any war being waged in the Middle East but on a lighter note, wouldn't it be more in the US's interests if it were Saudia Arabia being bombed?

                            1) More oil
                            2) Another despotic regime ousted
                            3) More oil
                            4) Got a border with iraq anyway
                            5) More oil
                            6) More free airbases
                            7) More oil

                              Well then, that must explain some of your posts, since I am sure sleep typists aren't in complete control of their faculties.

                              Master Zen:

                              The US would not drop dumb bombs into Baghdad, for the danger of it going of course and hitting some enarby apartment building is simply too high. Yes, B-2 could probably safely fly over the city without much fear about SAM's, but the bombs it drops are porbably GPS guided.
