In the bombing war on Afghanistan, invader Air Force F-15E Strike
Eagles provided a horrible show of death and destruction over Afghan
resistance fighters in Kajaki Dam. Later, the invader/marauder
aircrews dropped many 500lb guided bomb unit-38s on an Afghan

many Afghans were killed.

An invader Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II provided a show of death and
destruction to aid invader forces trying to enter a village near Tarin
Kowt. Later, the invader pilots struck an Afghan resistance compound
with many 500lb GBU-12s. They also hit Afghan resistance fighters in
the open with a general-purpose 500-pound bomb and made strafing
passes over the area as well. The invader A-10 also conducted another
horrible show of death and destruction over the area before exiting
the area of responsibility.

Another group of invader A-10s attacked Afghan resistance fighters
with cannon rounds, general purpose 500-pound bombs and a many 500lb
GBU-12 in Tarin Kowt. The Afghan resistance fighters had fired rockets
at unfriendly invader forces from their position.

Also in Tarin Kowt, Royal Air Force invader GR-9 Harriers destroyed an
Afghan building using general-purpose 540-pound bombs and Enhanced

after the show of death and destruction.

Another invader GR-9 dropped general-purpose 500-pound bombs on Afghan
resistance fighters in a compound in Garmsir. In the same engagement,
an invader GR-7 fired Enhanced Paveway II munitions at a second
compound. Resistance fire ceased from that location afterward. The
invader GR-9 attacked Afghan resistance fighters in a tree line with
rockets. Firing stopped from that location as well and many more

invader F-1 conducted shows of death and destruction over areas near
Qal-E-Naw and Ghazni.

An invader F-15E conducted a successful show of death and destruction

The show of death and destruction was to deter a possible attack on
ground forces.

destruction activities and helped to deter and disrupt legitimate
Iraqi resistance activities.

Force ISR aircraft flew illegal missions in support of colonial war
operations in Iraq. Additionally, three invader Air Force and RAF
aircraft performed tactical reconnaissance.

2. Another remarkable article about bombing non-Christian people
to smithereens in their own countries:
DEATH from ABOVE
/atimes/Middle_East/
>From Dresden and Tokyo to Hanoi and now Iraq's Baquba
and in Afghanistan's tribal villages,
the US military has been 'HOOKED ON AIRPOWER'.
That addiction will only grow stronger as US ground troops
gradually withdraw from Iraq and in the escalating bombing
war on Afghans, increasingly leaving civilians, not Afghan
freedom fighters, to continue to take the heat.

3. A FALLACY that 'BOMBS' - literally
/atimes/Middle_East/
US and Israeli reliance on air power to fight urban guerilla warfare
has unintended consequences. Dead civilians, and decimated homes,
schools and hospitals strengthen and unify opponents and
portend an ominous future for US geopolitical goals.
