shockedI was wrong.
Er, didn't we just take Baghdad anyway? I mean, even if the administration is recognizing (like I didn't assume they would) that taking Baghdad isn't taking the country necessarily, that only took three weeks. What's the need for this? Threatening the remaining military? I thought they were surrendering in droves?
And geez, I love this line:
Military officials told CNN at the time of the test the MOAB was conceived mainly as a weapon employed for "psychological operations."
Isn't that pretty much the definition of Terrorism?
Actually, looking up the definition: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.
Ok, it hyperlinks terror:
1 : a state of intense fear
2 a : one that inspires fear : SCOURGE b : a frightening aspect
3 : REIGN OF TERROR
4 : violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands
So, in fact, yes, it is terrorism.
