Sadly, your assertion about obliteration is not true. From what I've
heard so far, only _ONE_ confirmed Al Queda member has been killed
despite over 100 deaths there at the hands of the US military
presumably under orders of their commander, the eriadite Mr. Bush. :-(

Welcome to World War III.


Not even 1. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa....ap/index.html

we've been in WW III since the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. You could
even argue the Iranian revolution back in '79.

As for piloting the AC-130, basic turn around a point that we all
learned early on. :^) Except in executing that ground reference
maneuver you are a cloudburst of lead.

World War III was the Cold War. This is World War IV.

Funny. Bet Mr. Bush can spell "erudite," even if Larry can't. Funny
also how heavily armed a lot of those "civilians" seem to be.
