precision bombing has less accuracy than we are told please dont use the "STRAW DOG" crapp with me I NEVER SAID THIS... "The US does not fly B-2's round trip from the Midwest to Iraq and back, non stop, to waste expensive missiles and accumulate near-misses" YOU DID, IN MISREPRESENTING ME IN A SERIOUSLY DECEITFUL WAY I refer to the less than perfect precision bombing that has taken place all over Iraq did I mention B-2 aircraft? where the hell did from distortive line come from? YOU since March 2003, we have bombed the hell out of numerous sites, incurring significant damage to adjoining buildings my sources tell me from inside the Pentagon and with associated people that much more than 1-2% of Cruise missiles are way off the mark that perhaps as much as 10% are way off the mark many strays fall in remote fields, too many, I am told others have been programmed with SLIGHTLY WRONG COORDINATES, which result in hitting a nearby site full of civilians i.e. human error (part of the precision equation though) the US public is told of high precision, so that we can push a button, keep our troops safe, yet take out a high valued target, with little risk of collateral damage we are told little of civilian deaths when they stream in, they are labeled as "suspected insurgents" with little if any followup by the media to ensure they were not women and children and non-gun-toting teenagers more often than not, suspected insurgents include at least one innocent little kid or some woman should I use the STRAW DOG tactic and say you dont care about innocent dead people, who could be your mother ??? NO civilian deaths are now over 11 thousand inside Iraq that number is 12 times as many US soldiers that number is almost 4x as many in World Trade Center where is the precision, dude? those numbers, independently counted, point either to imprecision or easy willingness to kill innocent people shall I say you prefer to go house to house and put bullets in the heads of suspects ??? that would be an equivalent STRAW DOG BULLSHIT argument I will not do so, since I have more class my central point is that Cruise missiles and other longr-range artillery ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS PRECISE AS YOU ARE TOLD if you have some hard evidence, great if you choose to take the other side on my argument, KEEP YOUR STRAW DOG BULLSHIT TO YOURSELF dont put words in my mouth take your several notches and (as Teresa says) SHOVE IT I never attempt to impress guys like you who misrepresent, who dont listen or read well, who use STRAW DOG tactics they are the lowest form of argumentation try reading my posts a second time you seem to have a vivid imagination of what I indeed said / jim
