How about those 15,000 pound daisy cutter bombs. I bet the taliban left skid marks after one of those hit.

I've already cited more than once. Those who didn't hear the first or second time likely wouldn't hear the tenth.

<< ....so called evidence from those who have lived under accurately targeted tons of 500 lb bombs that arrive within seconds. >>

Evidence? Why yes, that would be the Taliban forces who emerged from their dug in positions to engage the Northern Alliance forces, thank you.

And before them, that would be the Red Guard, who similarly emerged after probably more intensive bombing, albeit to run all the way back to Iraq..... chased by overwhelming numbers of better equipped allied tanks and troops, by the way, not "accurately targeted bombs that arrive within seconds."

<< ...The ability to target is the secret... >>

And a very well-kept secret it is indeed. Why, even the Taliban are unaware of it. And not likely to become aware of it either unless they read your posts, since this "ability to target" did not result in anything like the number of casualties that you might imagine.
