MOAB.........thats a big bomb.......but answer me this....how are we going to use something like that without killing alot of innocent civilians......a bomb like that obviously packs one hell of a punch....How can we use something like that without killing innocent people whos only crime was that they were born in a desert with a maniacal dictator at the helm of their country.....

My Mom sent me this.............
 
Subject: Inspectors


Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams who have arrived in Iraq? They're all men! How in the name of the United Nations does anyone expect men to find Saddam's stash? We all know that men have a blind spot when it comes to finding things. For crying' out loud! Men can't find the dirty clothes hamper. Men can't find the jar of jelly until it falls out of the cupboard and splatters on the floor.... and these are the people we have sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of mass
destruction?

I keep wondering why groups of mothers weren't sent in. Mothers can sniff out secrets quicker than a drug dog can find a gram of dope. Mothers can find gin bottles that dads have s tashed in the attic beneath the rafters. They can sniff out a diary two rooms and one floor away. They can tell when the lid of a cookie jar has been disturbed and notice when a quarter
inch slice has been shaved off a chocolate cake. A mother can smell alcohol on your breath before you get your key in the front door and can smell cigarette smoke from a block away. By examining laundry, a mother knows more about her kids than Sherlock Holmes. And if a mother wants an answer to a question, she can read an offender's eyes quicker than a homicide detective. So... considering the value a mother could bring to an
inspection team, why are we sending a bunch of old men who will rely on electronic equipment to scout out hidden threats?

My mother would walk in with a wooden soup spoon in one hand, grab Saddam by the ear, give a good twist and snap, "Young man, do you have any weapons of mass destruction?" And God help him if he tried to lie to her.
She'd march him down the street to some secret bunker and shove his nose into a nuclear bomb and say, "Uh, huh, and what do you call this, mister?" Whap! Thump! Whap! Whap! Whap! And she'd lay some stripes across his bare bottom with that soup spoon, then march him home in front of the whole of Baghdad. He'd not only come clean and apologize for lying about it, he'd cut every lawn in Baghdad for free for the whole damn summer.

Inspectors my ass... You want the job done? Call my mother.

By enabling him to wield this power makes them not so innocent. If they don't want to be crushed along with the rest of the country, they should rise up and rid themselves of him. If not, the US will.

Cuda......that is the biggest bunch of BS I think I have ever read concerning this situation.....do you actually believe that......The U.S. is having this much trouble dealing with the guy and you want to justify killing totally innocent civilians in this manner????? Unreal.........You think that by dropping the MOAB it is going to help spread democracy and enlighten these poor souls to our way of thinking??? Think again.....something has to be done concerning Saddam but killing alot of innocents is not the answer...........unreal......this rivals the same genius that I have heard from some people saying we should nuke them......It is sad that so many are so uninformed and uneducated on what is at stake here..........

What the hell do you personalty know about the Iraqis??

Sean 03-14-2003 12:00 PM

Rich,

Keep in mind that there is alot of intelligence out there and I'd like to think that the US has the technology and intelligence to drop one of these bad boys on a military target and not a school...

yes, there will be innocents killed, but hopefully it will be minimal. Also, take a look at the news and look at all the "innocents" burning US flags and shouting anti US slogans...if they should be a casualty of the MOAB, so be it...

not tryin to jump on ya bro, just offering my perspective.

Steve 1 03-14-2003 12:03 PM
