*claps* Good post Ryanamur, I agree wholeheartedly, the only problem is locating the terrorist groups, and once they're located, the problem becomes hitting them without hitting any nearby civilians, also, give them absolutely NO WARNING before attacking, that way they won't have a chance to take any hostages and/or hide even more among nearby civilians.

The way I see it: if 25 innocent civilian are killed because of a missile attack in Afganistant, that's too bad but it was worth it if you killed the terrorist. Plus, you might also kill other terrorists in the attack. It's sad, it's completely unethical but that's the way it is. You have to play by there rules if you want to win. As far as they are concerned, civilians are just as an opportunistic target as the speaker of the house (the President of the US is in a different category) |

Maybe using snipers and small teams of elite soldiers would be just as effective? That way, you can also find such nice things at their camps as papers and reciepts(Maybe not reciepts) proving that they've been funded by some country or another, if they were funded by a country of course, but if such things ARE at their camps, then they would be hard to find after the camp has just been incinerated by 100 gallons of Napalm or 10 cruise missiles.

(remember, this is war, you have to be cold) I totally agree about the NO WARNING... I should have said it in my post rather than insinuating it. |

Neb I kind of would prefer those tactics and I think we could be highly effective employing them...but some people would object...hell some people will object if ANYTHING is done to avenge this.

This whole thing is truly bad, and anyone involved has my deepest sympathy.
Just a few quick cents from me; The whole thing seems very well planned, I think the fact that 2 planes were used in NY and the timimg shows this. One tower is hit, the cameras arrive just in time to film the second plane crash in. Scores maximum points on the effect rating as the media has more to show than just a single smoking tower as it would have been if a single building was hit - it was almost like something out of an action film (except no Bruce Willis).In this sense the WTC was perfect - very high profile, has 2 targets and not far from a flight path. The blanket coverage was just what was wanted - we had all our cable TV channels showing news at one point this afternoon, someone got one hell of a sick ego boost out of this. Also 8:50 on a working day - that is truly evil, someone planned that to take lives not to cut the deathtoll down. The Pentagon is another high profile target that is easy to get to on the flight routes. I get the impression this didn't hit as true as was planned, something to do with a 'tricky' decent maybe Both are high profile, easy to spot targets near flight paths and symbols of Americas econimic and military might. I think this was done more for effect, almost to gloat than for a real attempt to bring America to it's knees - for this it was crucial that the towers collapsed, more for symbolism than anything else, (apparently there could have been bombs on board - no confirmation). Anyone think more is coming? Also, did anyone see President Bushs' and PM Blairs' off the cuff statements just as they had found out? Anyone else think that they looked lost without a piece of paper from their script writer? And how comfortable they both looked later after some poor sod had to write something insipiring for them to say. I've just seen the live pictures of NY on the news; it looks like a war zone. Also there is still debris coming down now, what 6 or 7 hours after the collapse. BTW. The rumour about Camp David is that is where the 4th plane was headed Lots of other rumours at the moment - hopefully we'll know more tomorrow. (Sorry about the lack of grammar or sense, I'm very tired at the moment) |
