Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Actually, any ground-attack platform can carpet-bomb. It's a mere matter of piling enough explosives densely enough onto a target position. Submunition weapons, which are to carpet bombing what a throw rug is to wall-to-wall, are a more weapon-efficient tool for carpet bombing, and you can find references to trying to clear unexploded submunitions out of the battle areas in today's newspapers -- an AP wire, for instance, headlined "Explosives pose danger to refugees returning to south Lebanon."

The Gulf of Tonkin was not, of course, an invasion, but a skirmish.

The Gulf of Tonkin was a hoax...

Carpet bombs are old fashioned, it´s cluster bombs today.
