Yes, it happened in training but remember we really don't have Afganistan all that secured yet. And they aren't having thier live fire exercises too close to the base obviously. Maybe there were al-quada there or not. I think the video tape even showing ground fire directed at them. But who knows, it's still in trail. But the point is though they were training they were doing so in a war zone.

Before I answer the question I asked yesterday let me first say that the Air Force is not going to play anything off. If that was so we wouldn't even be going to trail much less holding it against our pilots for putting themselves in danger.

Now the answer to the question though believe it or not is to bomb the intelligence center/school. But here's the trick, you do it at night when school is out. And of course all the media is going to say is that we bombed a school. Propoganda plays both sides. Scary thing is that saddam resorts to tactics like these in war.

It's not propoganda (like what you said in another thread that is locked), it's fact. He did put turrets on hospitals, parked his fighters next to historical sites. Hell, he practices the scorched earth thing with the oil fields. I don't believe in the incubator thing though, I think that one is one of them "urban legends" sort of thing.

There was nothing made up of the oil fires after the Gulf War. Nor of the negative impact on the environment that it caused. Of course with the possibility of a new war with Iraq we are going to take measures to help prevent (or be prepared in advance) for when he does it again. Of course people are saying that we are doing it to prevent the "wasting of the oil" which will prevent us from hording it all. Seems to me that we can't do anything right. Granted we don't want the oil to go to waste but it's not from a greed of oil. We have plenty of other sources for our oil and we don't need Iraq's. We don't.
