the first blanket bombing of a city.

My war is everywhere there is inhumanity, injustice, inequality and poverty. That is why I go to colombia to witness the FARC, to the slums, shanty towns of Rio de janeiro, where children rummage through discarded waste for scraps of food, in the dirt track tin shack towns of Africa, where again children and babies of the poor, live and sleep on the streets, begging for crumbs, trawling through infested rubbish for scraps of leftover food. These are my people the poor of the world, of every colour, shade and religion.

The british and irish public desperately need this war, to distract from revelations from Operation Ore, economic collapse, not to mention our fat cat multinationals corporations and big buisness relocating their factories to the sweat shops of the third world. Pioneer Jo Moore led the way by leaking bad news during the 9/11 disaster, knowing that it would not be noticed much, covered by the avalanche of 9/11 disaster reporting. This war is another great opportunity to release potentially damaging news about our governments activities and information such as Operation Ore findings, tucked in admist the full blown daily war correspondents, whose going to notice such news.

Gallimhed, don't you see that is why these wars are necessary ... we have to test out our new weapons to improve their accuracy so that even more precise targeting is possible next time round ... that way there is less collateral damage and less need for expenditure on public relations ... have you any idea how much those guys charge ?

60% is not so bad for a first deployment ....
Hey c'mon nobody's perfect ....

I agree with my learned colleague's anal-lysis.

Dr. Spin is right, smart bombs are pretty smart and I have news for you whingers: THEY ARE GETTING SMARTER ALL THE TIME ......
Yes sir ! Some of them are already so goddam smart they are even smarter than some humans ....

Just how much spin do we need before we can convince you ?

CONQUER WE MUST FOR OUR CAUSE IT IS JUST ....
Hey, it's in the national anthem so everybody sing along now ....

A 'smart' bomb is only as smart as the idiot who designed it. The Gulf war 1 smart bombs were guided by a laser mounted on the bomber, but only 60% of the bombs actually made guidance contact with the laser when they were dropped.

There is no such thing as 'smart bombs', over 20 allied soldiers of our own were killed in friendly fire exchange incidents during the recent war in Afghanistan. What does this tell you about smart bombs in the hands of drugged up gung ho pilots.

Now the bombs are much "smarter" and so there is less collateral damage ...

What the hell is wrong with you, haven't you been swallowing your daily dose of propaganda tablets ...
