i was watching the news last night and heard that they are saying by as early as tonight if we are going to war. i dunno much about all what's happening so i really won't say anything else about that cuz i don't want to make anyone upset so all im gonna say is i hope we don't go to war.

Oh this reminds me. I had a question I hoped somebody with a military background or knowledge might be able to answer.
Why are we (the allies) not taking the usual approach of heavy air strikes before sending in troops? Just wondering.

on french TV today they were talking about US air stike before deploying troops on the ground by the south

no clue what you guys are talking about but i think i'll just step out of my thread so i don't get more confused. lol
-

it's ok. i shouldn't even have made this thread...lol oh well.

Yep... no more time wasting with an organization that refuses to uphold it's own resolutions... if the world wont demand the UN function or step aside.. I'm glad there's at least 5 countries that will...
OK.. personal commentaries aside... Kev.. believe me we will... we'll hit most if not all radar sites and anti air sites we know of... any military buildings we can find and any vehicles stupid enough to show themselves...
Are you familliar with "Shock and Awe?" It's a psychological technique where you slam them so hard in the beginning with so much firepower that they are so absolutely demoralized that their military simply collapses and gives up. That's the plan. (I learned that from tori (cheapandevilgirl) she's a smart one). We just tested the MOAB bomb. The largest conventional warhead. GPS guided so it's deadly accurate and nearly twice the size of a Daisy Cutter. Needs it's own C-130 to drop it... We are definitely going to start with airstrikes... and personally when their over... I think you'll see 100's of thousands of white flags coming from Iraq... and we'll simply walk into Baghdad...

they talked about the general
Tommy Franck or something like that :roll:
I think that if USA goes on war with all the firepower wich is around Irak there will not be lots of Saddam last at the end 8) 8)
how many aircraft carrier do yu have ? 4 ? 5 ?
We only have one which only work from 10 am to 4 PM and not on Saturdays and Sundays :cry:
-
total I think we have 5.. but in the gulf there are probably 3... i know the Brits have sent a full batlle group as well so that's at leats 1 more carrier...
and that's not a great schedule for a carrier? maybe on the weekend they bake the key into some brie and whoever finds it gets to drive the next week??? ;-) LOL

That's good (in one sense) to hear. I was getting worried for a moment that they were just gonna send in our men. Seeing the pics in the newspaper of the troops lined up in the desert has made it a lot more real as of late.

I only know USA, UK, and Spain

-

we have got ONE aircraft carrier called
Charles De Gaulle
we had the Foch and the Clémenceau before but sold it to "i don't know who" and the Foch is being destroyed or tunring into a NAVY museum
-
Can you imagine an aircraft carrier called the Bill Clinton??? It doesn't have that awe inspiring sound like the others does it?
-
The Bill Clinton??? More appropriately that would be a Submarine...
I asume I do NOT need to insert the joke??? :wink:
-
i hope we will never have an aircraft carrier called the Jacques Chirac
cuz i'll sink it myself
-
What better birthday present than to have my own government blow up Iraq~!
