Also, I thought we had been hitting that airfield for weeks now. Doesn't really look like it.

Probably don't want to ruin it, since it's going to be our airfield in a few days...

[johnny7]

I think it's missing.

[Outraged]

I see no change in the airplace...same position, no debris...simply different angle.

[copycat]

Judging by the round globular shape of the destroyed buildings, it looks like we just took out another baby milk factory.

[steveo]

All your base are blown up by us.

[Outraged]

Looking at that tail-section from the second angle would produce the effect of it appearing missing. It is not. The plane didn't move an inch, comparitively. Further, there is no commensurate hole below the tail-section or debris confirming such a blow.

[Henchman]

I agree with your observation of the cars. Seems to me, the Talibums would be real PO'd if their cars were wrecked. I'd have done it just for GP. If they wrecked my "new" wheels I'd tell the US where SAMMY is!

[humblegunner]

Exactly.. we have to be cost effective about this,
the world is watching.

[Come get it]

Why don't they hit that airplane (to the right and below hangers)? Looks like a pretty obvious target to me.

Well, you know, that WAS the intended target. But we all know how inaccurate our bombs are and we missed it. These stray bombs accidentally fell on the hospital/Red Cross/orphanage/baby milk factory/residences located conveniently nearby. < /sarcasm >

Here's a picture of a "fresh" load of Bombs on a carrier deck. This ought to open things up for Osama and his pals

Nice shootin'!

God Bless America!

[MistyCA]

LOL....glad you noticed too because it sure looked like a half a plane to me!

[woollyone]

And look, On the left side near the taxi-way, you can see where the girls couts welcome and information center was...that's where they sold those delicious minty chocolate cookies.

[c-five]

Why don't they hit that airplane (to the right and below hangers)?

At first look I thought it was an airplane too, completely untouched. On second look, I don't know what it is, but it's clearly not touched. Could it be an inflatable airplane? Ha!

[geaux]

Terrorists are known for hiding behind orphans and women. They're real brave that way, dontchya know.

[evolved_rage]

Are we sure it is not another hospital. 30 million Afghans seem to have about 30 million hospitals, per the Talibans reckoning. And each hospital has a day care center/baby food factory/orphanage/UN outpost.

[US_MilitaryRules]

That airplane is resting on its right wing, besides we don't want to destroy it we might have to use it cause the tailibutts have shot down all our jets and helicopters!!!

[don-o]

Can't open the vids.

Some more devestation on the airbase would have been nice.

Looks like one side of a couple of hangars got caved in. Where are the craters and broken things?

What am I supposed to gather from looking at before and after? Help.
