Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
No war is good, OK? I'm simply giving a scenario under which a city battle could be fought.
As far as the grenade launcher is concerned, I'm well aware of what a "thump gun" can do. But if they are so effecitve against modern armor, why aren't the Palestinians using them more against the Israeli tanks, APC's and armored bulldozers? That would seem to me to be the logical thing to do.
Yeah, civilians will die. It happens in every war and it is sad. But how many will die if Saddam gains nuclear capability? Remembering that he has already used poison gas against his own people, do you really think he would balk at targeting Tel Aviv or any other city for that matter. A saddam capable of nuclear blackmail is a shuddersome thought.
I don't know about you, but one North Korea is about all I can handle at one time.
