The cruise missiles were probably used to soften targets and the F117's were used to drop bombs on said targets. According to CBS radio, somewhere in the range of 3 dozen cruise missiles were used.

On a related note, the US has already taken over Iraqi radio and television. Right now, the US is broadcasting on Iraqi radio.

F117s fire 2 cruse missles now adays, not normal bombs or missles, they are just light strike fighters after all

The MOAB err... MOFO sorry, is actually a more powerful than the old Daisy Cutters.

Also, CNN (yeah, yeah, I know) claims that this strike was a "target of opportunity". They had intel that said Saddam was at some location and they pounced on it.

I sure hope they got him. With him gone his troops might be more willing to stand down.

Dawn = first light

The attack occured a bit before dawn, hence why they were used, still dark.

MOAB=tactically useless because it'd set half the city on fire...those flammable mists man, lemme tell ya.

MrVulcan · 2003-03-20, 12:45 AM

so, he still lives... perhaps we hit some of his generals, etc...

and the MOAB is very good vs like... the entire normal republican guard b4 they go into the city

Jaged · 2003-03-20, 02:17 AM

So they think Saddam is no more.....

Budz · 2003-03-20, 02:26 AM

Yeah, the MOAB won't be used on any cities. At least I hope not...

Its more of a terror weapon. Drop it on some troops to scare the sh*t out of their buddies.

As for taking out a large group of buildings, say a factory or other large complex, I don't think it you can really top a concentrated heavy bomber raid.

Course Im a little partial to carpet bombing anyways.

Jaged · 2003-03-20, 02:33 AM

I say screw all the innocent civilians. NUKE IRAQ!!! Then we could be shure Saddam was dead and all his weapons of mass destruction were gone. Then we could end the war and help build Iraq back up with virtualy no US losses.

Hamma · 2003-03-20, 08:43 AM

Is the MOAB even in our arsenal yet? I thought it was still being tested
