Missile hits UN mine clearance center

Ibrox · 9th Oct 2001, 06:10 AM

thats the stray off target missile out of the way for this campaign
then.

The_Fur · 9th Oct 2001, 06:15 AM

well who'd have expected, mayeb it was close to the chinese embassy?

RogueLeader · 9th Oct 2001, 04:23 PM

But we are only attacking military targets!

Kibbles-N-Bits · 9th Oct 2001, 05:33 PM

Uh, it qualified as a military target... I guess.

Keganator · 9th Oct 2001, 05:43 PM

Yeah, except it's the wrong military.

RogueLeader · 9th Oct 2001, 05:44 PM

There is also evidence we hit a woman's hospital.

Kibbles-N-Bits · 9th Oct 2001, 05:45 PM

Bah, casualties of war.

Snake13 · 9th Oct 2001, 06:03 PM

UN buildings are fair game

RAZZ · 9th Oct 2001, 10:35 PM

hate to remind everyone, those are afgani buildings with afgani supplies in them.
it WAS a un building... 4 weeks ago.
now its just a target.

compare this to ww2 when thousands of innocents
dissapeared under the bombing sites of b-17's

I think their doing a fantastic job so far.

Keganator · 9th Oct 2001, 11:47 PM

Man, I swear I've heard this discussion before...deja-vu and all. Oh wait... I have

DEFkon · 10th Oct 2001, 04:05 PM

As far as i know, the missle missed. **** happens. Apearently the building was next to a power station, and the missle missed. Don't let those tv shows fool you with the "we can hit a golf out of someone's hands crap." These weapons may be very expensive, but keep in mind they're still built by the lowest bidder.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. the more complicated you make something the more that can go wrong with it. I mean hell it's hard enough just keeping your PC up to date, and it's software running properly. And your probably the one in charge of making sure it runs right. No offense but i've known a number of the companies that make these products to employ the mentally disabled in the manufacturing proccess. So.... yeah even though you might have einstiens designing these missles when you have little timmy putting the components together, your not exactly ogoing to end up with full proof hardware.

yet this does bring a different question to mind: WTF were UN mine detection personal still doing in Afghanastan? I couldv'e sworn that all the UN personal pulled out the prior week with the other aid people...

The_Fur · 10th Oct 2001, 04:09 PM

the dead were security guards guarding the building.

phatcat · 10th Oct 2001, 04:16 PM

I bet it wasn't a missle

it was a mine! a mine who's parents where detected and "deactivated" by those "UN bastards"! and it wanted vengence!!

gotta watch those mines!!

------------------------------

talk about job devotion... maybe they get paid by the hour or by per mine. I can't see why anyone other than news & media would want to be there right now.

A_Rimmerlister · 11th Oct 2001, 05:43 AM

I thought RL would be happy to see the US hit an UN-building ...

btw : apparently there still are lots of uncleared & uncharted minefields in Afghanistan.
Think what would happen if one of those fooddroppings landed in the middle of one of them ... *ouch*

RogueLeader · 11th Oct 2001, 02:51 PM

Maybe if it was THE UN building in New York, and not some kind-hearted civilians who wanted to help the people of Afghanistan.

A_Rimmerlister · 11th Oct 2001, 03:00 PM

As if there would not have been any kind hearted civilians in the New York building ...
