Bob,
ok, arguendo this was very wrong in viet nam.  what the heck
does this have
to do with iraq?


They used B52's in Vietnam too. Guess how many tonnes of
bombs the US used during this war?

Hundreds of times more than in the second world war. I don't
recall seeing any peanut butter of KFC being dropped over
Baghdad over the last 4 days?

maybe on CNN there was some sown to waiting arms.

During the first 4 days of the ground war, Bob, of the Gulf
War there were an estimated 50-60 thousand Iraqi's were
killed by US bombers. During the preceding bombardment an
equal number were killed (Barnaby, 1991).
