eight us marines among 24 killed in iraq, page-6

Geez you're a mental lightweight miles...

I dont have a problem with a suicide bomber...use em till they run out....

I have a real problem how they use them by targetting - in the main - soft civilian targets and in the hope they get a couple of police or US personnel

...they'll happily kill as many civilians as they can to get that one kill.

Appalling.

And as for the bombing from 20,000 feet..the difference of course between the Coalition approach and the approach of the lunatics is that the US may drop ordnance from that height but it is not indiscrimate in its targetting.

It is after a specific military target and with the smart weaponry...aside from the errors and malfunctions...this seeks to limit the civilian damage

In contrast of course...in elemental contrast...the lunatics seek out the civilian target to cause the terror - military casualties are useful by-product.

And no milesgbaby.....the suicide bomber was an aberration - not the method of choice.

Noone predicted the use of this on the scale it has been used.

Heaven help the Iraqi populace if the JCS ever decide to target the areas that they believe are harbouring, supplying and abetting the lunatics. And decide to saturate the area

Then we'll see a body count.

But no...instead, the US foot soldier will take the brunt so that the higher morale ground can be ours

But thats the price....
