The lastest Jane's in from one year ago. You don't think the USA government hasn't ordered more since? I got my numbers from the Pentagon briefing I heard yesterday.

Secondly, we don't need to destroy the bunker. All we need to do is seal off the exits and let them suffocate.

Although Janes recoreds on Tomahawks are nearly 12 months old, you must acknowledge the FACT also that Tomahawks block production takes around FOUR years!
There are NO orders at the moment for tomahawks becuse they are in process of upgrading the production to the new level Tomahawks!

The US is not going to put itself in a position to use every single bomb/missile that we have.

dazzling · 03-21-2003, 11:49 AM

But just to see how easy it is to foo; these so called smart weapons which are in fact dumb weapons lets take a quick look at how easy the serbs did it using training and info supplied them by the Russians....

An overview of tactics employed by the Yugoslav army to limit the effectiveness of the NATO air strikes:

Yugoslav air defences tracked U.S. stealth aircraft by using old Russian radars operating on long wavelengths. This, combined with the loss of stealth characteristics when the jets got wet or opened their bomb bays, made them shine on radar screens.
Radars confused precision-guided HARM and ALARM missiles by reflecting their electromagnetic beams off heavy farm machinery, such as plows or old tractors placed around the sites. This cluttered the U.S. missiles' guidance systems, which were unable to pinpoint the emitters.
Scout helicopters would land on flatbed trucks and rev their engines before being towed to camouflaged sites several hundred metres away. Heat-seeking missiles from NATO jets would then locate and go after the residual heat on the trucks.
Yugoslav troops used cheap heat-emitting decoys such as small gas furnaces to simulate nonexistent positions on Kosovo mountainsides. B-52 bombers, employing advanced infrared sensors, repeatedly blasted the empty hills.
The army drew up plans for covert placement of heat and microwave emitters on territory that NATO troops were expected to occupy in a ground war. This was intended to trick the B-52s into carpet-bombing their own forces.
Dozens of dummy objectives, including fake bridges and airfields were constructed. Many of the decoy planes were so good that NATO claimed that the Yugoslav air force had been decimated. After the war, it turned out its entire airforce had survived unscathed.
Fake tanks were built using plastic sheeting, old tires, and logs. To mimic heat emissions, cans were filled with sand and fuel and set alight. Hundreds of these makeshift decoys were bombed, leading to wildly inflated destruction claims.
Bridges and other strategic targets were defended from missiles with laser-guidance systems by bonfires made of old tires and wet hay, which emit dense smoke filled with laser-reflecting particles.
U.S. bombs equipped with GPS guidance proved vulnerable to old electronic jammers that blocked their links with satellites.
Despite NATO's total air supremacy, Yugoslav jets flew combat missions over Kosovo at extremely low altitudes, using terrain to remain undetected by AWACS flying radars.
Weapons that performed well in Afghanistan ? Predator drones, Apache attack choppers and C-130 Hercules gunships ? proved ineffective in Kosovo. Drones were easy targets for 1940s-era Hispano-Suisa anti-aircraft cannons, and C-130s and Apaches were considered too vulnerable to be deployed.

Actually they keep saying "tomahawk cruise missiles" but I wonder if they mean cruise missiles overall of which there are several types.

Carrie,

I love the people of the US. And am happy that coalition casualties have been minimal.

But I think that they have made a major error of judgement.

There will probably be 20 million young people (kids and young teens) throughout the Middle East that will grow up despising the west.

We have created a sword over the head of our children.And it is a scimitar.

Nick what you say may be true but the other options were worse.
Do you think 9/11 wasn't going to happen again? That we had years to let the CIA go to work to root this shit out? The U.N is useless, nobody was going to do shit about anything.

Bush is taking out a despicable regime that nobody else in the world would or could - he should be applauded. If this riles up those fucking terrorists so be it. We didn't start this fire, they did.

And about the U.S. losing respect around the world. Losing France and Germany's, amongst others respect is a badge of honor.

If Iraq wasn't held by a greedy asshole, the people of their country will flourish in the same way the people of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have for years. When every bit of money the country has isn't spent on huge palace compounds inlayed with gold, etc... they'll be riding in Benzies also. Have you seen the streets of Kuwait?

Carrie · 03-21-2003, 12:25 PM

Hopefully once they get the taste of freedom things will change, but there will always be people who think the way Nick anticipates. It's human nature to hate and to blame.

And just think, while all of this is going on we've got North Korea barking up our tree. News ticker about an hour ago reported that NK was saying this attack was a open aggressive move against THEM, that we are enticing THEM and baiting THEM into action by doing this. They're fucking insane. They think we're doing this just to prove to them we can fight a war on two fronts and we're "daring" them to move.
Haven't seen report of this on any of the sites to confirm but I'll look for it.

Ghandi was a very ridiculous man

Nickatilynx · 03-21-2003, 12:47 PM

Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a statement today that despite the best efforts of the international community and the United Nations, ?war has come to Iraq for the third time in a quarter of a century.?

He said that it was possible that, ?if we had persevered a little longer, Iraq could yet have been disarmed peacefully, or ? if not ? the world could have taken action to solve this problem by a collective decision, endowing it with greater legitimacy, and therefore commanding wider support, than is now the case.?

.................................................. .........................................

""endowing it with greater legitimacy""

Bridges and other strategic targets were defended from missiles with laser-guidance systems by bonfires made of old tires and wet hay, which emit dense smoke filled with laser-reflecting particles. U.S. bombs equipped with GPS guidance proved vulnerable to old electronic jammers that blocked their links with satellites. Despite NATO's total air supremacy, Yugoslav jets flew combat missions over Kosovo at extremely low altitudes, using terrain to remain undetected by AWACS flying radars. Weapons that performed well in Afghanistan ? Predator drones, Apache attack choppers and C-130 Hercules gunships ? proved ineffective in Kosovo. Drones were easy targets for 1940s-era Hispano-Suisa anti-aircraft cannons, and C-130s and Apaches were considered too vulnerable to be deployed. <P>

""" Greg, Very valid point indeed. But there is a gamut of options between that attack and doing nothing. __________________ Skype - Nickatilynx

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity. __________________ Are you down with Sin?

It's human nature to hate and to blame. And just think, while all of this is going on we've got North Korea barking up our tree. News ticker about an hour ago reported that NK was saying this attack was a open aggressive move against THEM, that we are enticing THEM and baiting THEM into action by doing this. They're fucking insane. They think we're doing this just to prove to them we can fight a war on two fronts and we're "daring" them to move. Haven't seen report of this on any of the sites to confirm but I'll look for it.

North Korea said on Friday the U.S.-led Iraq war was part of a strategy to attack it and told South Korea it was playing with fire if it tried to boost defenses against the North during the Gulf conflict. " Back to Iraq - looks like the planes are almost back to Baghdad for the second strike, lots of anti-aircraft fire going on.

He said that it was possible that, ?if we had persevered a little longer, Iraq could yet have been disarmed peacefully, or ? if not ? the world could have taken action to solve this problem by a collective decision, endowing it with greater legitimacy, and therefore commanding wider support, than is now the case.? .................................................. ......................................... ""endowing it with greater legitimacy"" interesting phrase. __________________ Skype - Nickatilynx
