Guest garyah99 Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 Check out the link. Seems as though The war is about to begin. Everyone please pray. http://www.msnbc.com/news/627028.asp
Air Juggernaut Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 I don¢¥t know what will the target of the Tomcats because no air force in Afganistan (at least not very important), no target for the F/A-18 (only rocky towns the only tactical target is a guy with a portatile AA missile launcher or a rifle. I hope that they know what they are doing. ------------------ "All your base are belong to us", "Surrender for your own good" - Kanon Siege Forces, 2001 Kanon´s Robotic Facility
Guest Thrawn Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 Don't worry. 3/4 of the guys in charge were running the Gulf War, so they at least know the basics of what they need to do. ------------------ "Here, people don't lock their doors, they deadbolt them, and then stick a chair under the knob."

Air Juggernaut Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 The point is: you want to get Bin Laden (dead or alive, I don¢¥t know), making runs with aircraft carrier¢¥s planes is not very accurate, this time is not a weapons factory or an airport, is just a guy that is very like to other guys here, I think that a paveway or a napalm bomb is not a great idea because you can hit the wrong target that can desencadenate a more huge danger. ------------------ "All your base are belong to us", "Surrender for your own good" - Kanon Siege Forces, 2001 Kanon´s Robotic Facility
Guest Thrawn Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 The carriers are there for support to ground troops. They will most likely be used to "soften up" targets that are ground forces would be heading to. ------------------ "Here, people don't lock their doors, they deadbolt them, and then stick a chair under the knob."

Air Juggernaut Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 I hope that it will end soon and without any represally. ------------------ "All your base are belong to us", "Surrender for your own good" - Kanon Siege Forces, 2001 Kanon´s Robotic Facility
Zargon Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 Don;t forget that there are many camps that the terrorists have all over, and we are going to fight the taliban too......they have asked the entire nation of Afghanistan to 'prepare for a holy war'. So now we ARE fighting a whole country. If we are lucky we will get to see the F-22's first real combat test

Admiral Odin Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 um...we haven't attacked yet. Bush has permission to use what ever he feels like to end this threat. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb God Bless America
Guest garyah99 Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 Bush has already declared that he will not only go after the perpetrator of the crashes, but the government or governments[/s] that are supporting, aiding or hiding them. There is a great deal of evidence coming out now that this is a global conspiracy. People have been arrested, detained, or questioned in the Caymen Islands, the Phillipines, Germany, Ireland, Canada, and about a dozen other countries. Of course these countries did not aid the terrorists, but it proves that bin Laden's network is VAST. There must have been dozens of people involved in the planning of this attack, and dozens more supporting it. The logistical requirements for this operation must have been huge, and there must have been at least ONE government, probably more, supporting bin Laden to pull it off. This has been in the planning for over a year, judging by the reports of flight training etc. The U.S. won't be restrained by having to protect Israel like they were in the Gulf war. They also won't be so careful about picking and choosing their targets. In Kuwait/Iraq, they had to be very careful about going after SCUD missile launchers and perform surgical strikes. The aim there was capitulation; to get Iraq to surrender and leave Kuwait. I believe there will not be as much concern about collateral damage this time around. I also believe that somewhere along the line, Arab countries are going to use this as an excuse to attack Israel. I also believe there are many more terrorist factions ready to strike. I just hope the U.S. lets their intelligence services do their jobs.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 True, the organization of Bin Ladin is huge, and wil take years to up root. Hopefully, we'll do it in such a fervor that noone will think of terrorism as a career choice again, no matter how much of a fanatic he is.
Admiral Odin Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 hopefully we won't be the only ones who rid the world of this plague. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb God Bless America
Guest Rogue15 Posted September 15, 2001 Posted September 15, 2001 I wonder if i'll get drafted, i'm almost 18...
Nute Gunray Posted September 16, 2001 Posted September 16, 2001 We've got 1.3 million troops. It'll be YEARS before they'd need to call up the draft. And that's JUST THE US, not NATO.
Air Juggernaut Posted September 16, 2001 Posted September 16, 2001 The other day I hear in TV that 1000 (!) commandos was send to Afganistan in order to catch Bin Laden but they never come back. ------------------ "All your base are belong to us", "Surrender for your own good" - Kanon Siege Forces, 2001 Kanon´s Robotic Facility
JR2000Z Posted September 16, 2001 Posted September 16, 2001 How the heck will we tell the difference between the terorrists between the enemies? This must be the burden on the CIA.
Guest garyah99 Posted September 16, 2001 Posted September 16, 2001 http://www.msnbc.com/news/627028.asp He certainly seems determined to flush 'em out. In other other forums there seems to be an opinion that we're going to be attacking not just Afghanistan, but maybe 5 or 6 other nations as well who harbour or aid terrorists. I don't think it's going to be pretty.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted September 16, 2001 Posted September 16, 2001 iraq, Iran, Lybia, Afghanistan all harbor terrorists. Cuba just condemded the attack, so i don't think we're gonn ahave any trouble with them. If we did, they'd be soooo dead.

Guest Thrawn Posted September 17, 2001 Posted September 17, 2001 Syria also has a few terrorists probobly still inside it's borders as well. When Cuba condems an attack on the U.S., then damn. You know it's bad. ------------------ "Here, people don't lock their doors, they deadbolt them, and then stick a chair under the knob." ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6
edlib Posted September 17, 2001 Posted September 17, 2001 So did Khaddafi. He's no fool. He knows he's a prime suspect in something like this. I'm sure he doesn't want to get the s*** bombed out of him again.
