Is it better to be obliterated by a GBU-12D Paveway II than a barrel bomb? Are you less dead from one or the other?
What is the fascination with airplanes flying into buildings on 9/11? Barrel bombs are terror weapons used on civilian targets. Savage, savage stuff.
Barrel bomba are IEDs. They are the only ordnance this LEGAL country had left to defend itself till outside help arrived.
Oh, and these weapons were being dropped on muslim insurgents (the true terrorists in the country) bent on ridding the country of its secular leader and murdering all the Christians they could find.
