I'm sure all the Iraqi's are going "Wow, I'm convinced that my leader and religion are wrong. Go USA!"

Awe.... Probably not the right word.How about - "Shock and scare the shit out of"

I wish that was true. However, there are still Iraqis in Bagdad that we have to perswade (s/p???) that are forced to watch Saddam tv allday and night.

Just reported on the news, there was an envalope found instructing the Iraqi soldiers how to spread anthrax and to drees in civilen clothes. That is scary.
 
just as a rocket (sorry, don't know which type) missed the "target" and lended on Iran, killing people. what bad luck. for the Iranians. and the Kurds that are attacked from the north by Turks. then rangers had to drop in. damn, Nostradamus would say, I told you so. :) this is becoming jolly good. *midget in a bikini*

That suck too, but atleast it is not as common as it use to be, not that it makes it good.

Nah, now its only 45% of the time instead of 40% Smart bombs my arse.

I believe I heard it is a bigger difference than that. I thought I heard something like 60% and now its 10% hitting different targets?

I could be wrong I wasn't sitting there studing it.

The point is a FUCK OF A LOT of them aren't hitting what they are supposed to.

I get your point, your point was well understood. Nevertheless, I would still have to say i would perfer 10 out of 100 to miss then 40 out 100. While 10 is still to many.

South Park joke.
It's a running gag on the News Reporters on Channel 4 News. Others include Quadrapligic Swiss Man On A Pony, Asian Man Who Looks Surprisingly Like Ridcardo Montabalm and Normal Man with Funny Name (Creamy Goodness).
Hope that explains a bit, Chrome.

Chromatose had it right when stated that ''Shock and Awe" comes from a planbook. It was a book written a few years ago on the mistakes made during the Gulf War. A plan book of better strategies of war. And, if I am not mistaken the one they are implementing now is from the book.
