Willcousa -

Really? I didn't realize that they had advertised a blast radius for it. The news stories I read said that both military officials and Donald Rumsfeld wouldn't divulge that information. Perhaps you have a different source.

Do you know how far away the camera was? Do you know what the focal length of the lens they used was? Do you actually have any idea what the scale of that explosion was or its radius?

I thought it was kind of silly that they released that footage, designed to frighten Hussein, without giving it any kind of scale to let a person know exactly how big the blast was.

By the way, I notice all you guys like to pick out details, but not to respond to the basic arguments being presented.
