Why does it take a missile to kill a cripple in a wheelchair ?

[DarkJedi]

BTW, U.S. says it is OK to assassinate opposition political leaders Like Yassin

[=^..^=]

yeah why does it?

I saw on discovery channel YEARS ago about how the us military had bullets which were smart bullets
all they do is one guy points a red laser pointer
another guy (can be positioned anywhere) fires the gun - the bullet will hit wherever the red laser is

so if they have such good technology - and they do - coz they showed it - then why all this fucking effort with missles etc?

it only takes one bullet

Just to make sure hes dead

[juicybucks]

there's just no such thing as a win in that part of the world....

[kmanrox]

because there's just so much more impact with a missle...

(pun intended)

[Rorschach]

Because it 's fun and it impresses the natives?

Indeed. It's not so much the function of killing the target, it's also the method in which it's accomplished. What would be the fun in merely putting a bullet in his head? The US wants to blow up the entire fucking country, like a 4th of July fireworks show.

Because they don't exist yet. They're called BLAMs (Barrel Launched Adaptive Muntion).

You can find a bit of info about them, and you'll even see a few places mention prototypes, but the project obviously flopped, 'cause you'll be lucky to find anything dated after 1997, or '99 at the latest.

There are other types of bullets that are referred to as smart bullets, but none that use the "paint" targetting method.

Flopped, or like this guy says, a long way away.

Taken from http://www.snipercountry.com/bullet.htm

But a lot of research and development is needed before the first weapon fires a smart bullet. "The technology is not yet fully proven," says Fred Davis, who heads the flight vehicles branch at the US Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Florida, which funded Barrett's work. But Davis believes that smart bullets are a practical possibility, although he predicts they are 15 years away. He says that his laboratory has already developed scaled down, cheaper versions of the smart bombs that were so successful during the Gulf War.

It's easier just to press a button and listen for the boom

[sperbonzo]

When the cripple in question has been directly responsilbe for the deaths of as many innocent children, old people, pregnant women, etc, as this guy has.....

I say kill him ANY WAY YOU CAN

[The Sex Pusher]

Its much easier to just launch a missile into a crowded street and kill and burn small babies.

It's called slow release ethnic cleansing..

Some wheel chairs are very strong!!

I tried to shoot one and the bullet bounced off. If I had a tomahawk missle, I would use it on these pesky ass wheel chairs!!
