1. I say in the fall,
right when things are getting hot and heavy with the election. Definitely fall, probably mid-to-late October.

3. But first...
...the light must be right, and the cameras in place. Unless it makes it onto the nightly news programs, the MOAB loses much of its effectiveness.

5. Coincidentally or not...
I was thinking about exactly this subject earlier today. Maybe my train of thought was brought on by the whole surrounding Falluja news. It's nearly impossible to see the light at the end of this tunnel.

6. didn't we use that on the hotel
where we "were certain" Saddam and his sons were meeting? Left a huge crater and pulverized about 30 civilian houskeepers, guests, kitchen staff and clerks. Guess those bodies were not "mutilated" enough for outrage.

7. No
We used 4 regular bunker busters. had we used the MOAB civilian casualties from that air raid alone would be half the current civilian casualties.

14. Operation enduring radiation
"Radiological measurements of the uranium concentrations in Afghan civilians’ urine samples indicate abnormally high levels of non-depleted uranium. Radiological measurements of Afghan civilians’ have high concentrations of uranium in a range beginning at 4 X’s and reaching to over 20 X’s normal populations. This is 400% to 2000% higher than the study controls and normal population baselines of the concentrations of nanograms of uranium per liter of urine in a 24-hour sample. UMRC has completed initial but still preliminary studies that corroborate these finding in biological controls and geological samples taken in Operation Enduring Freedom bombsites."

These findings are significant in three ways:



1. The volumes (total concentrations) of uranium in the civilians studied are abnormally high as compared to local population controls. The only other findings presenting with these high concentrations are historically anomalous in certain populations exposed via unusual geological and technological (including occupational) conditions.

2. 100% of the studied population in the preliminary sample groups in Afghanistan is positive for these abnormally high concentrations.

3. The isotopic signature of the uranium in the Afghan study population is Non-depleted Uranium. This is an unexpected finding in that there has been no report of or confirmed findings of Non-Depleted Uranium in OEF or other military conflicts. It is not know at this point if the uranium is adulterated with transuranics.

Yes folks, your government has used "nukulear" weapons on the afghan population....

9. They name an effing bomb MOAB,
and accuse Kerry of quoting scripture for political gain. I think someone could make a LOT of money selling *Brand Barf Bags for marches or everyday use.

13. Has this been discussed in the media yet?
or would that detract from the SHOCK-n-AWE?
