Today Colin powell gave our proof against Iraq. It's kind of hard to refute it.

"Citing the British dossier, entitled Iraq - Its Infrastructure of Concealment, Deception and Intimidation in front of a worldwide television audience Mr Powell said: "I would call my colleagues' attention to the fine paper that the United Kingdom distributed... which describes in exquisite detail Iraqi deception activities."

Channel Four News has learnt that the bulk of the nineteen page document was copied from three different articles - one written by a graduate student.

Even typographic mistakes in the original articles are repeated.

Number 10 says the Mukhabarat - the main intelligence agency - is "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq". The original reads: "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq."

And the provocative role of "supporting terrorist organisations in hostile regimes" has a weaker, political context in the original: "aiding opposition groups in hostile regimes."

...see, if ONLY these guys had spent some time making Cartoon Music Videos. They'd be hanging out here on their time off, and learn all about the unl33tness of swiping other people's footage without asking.

I just love a good fanatical discussion.

Anyway, i'm all for war. Near 8 billion people, somebody needs to die and i mean die, not suffer or anything...just die for god sakes!

/end

But would you fight in that war?

I seriously would, just teach me how to use a tank.

1. The world has slightly more than 6 billion people. Not anywhere near 8 billion, and thank God.

2. Actually, in much of the infantry combat these days, the goal is to seriously wound, not kill, an enemy. Why is this? Because a wounded soldier can require enemy resources to care for, and can also affect enemy morale. This probably part of the reason, besides recoil, fire control, and weight, that NATO countries (and other militaries) use weapons in .223 Remington caliber (which is practically just a slightly more powerful, centerfire, .22 caliber round - in other words, not terrifically powerful).

I would design and build a shoulder mounted rail gun with a backpack power supply. Let the vaporization begin

[kthulhu]

Railguns don't vaporize, sir, they are theoretically designed to tear, or punch, holes in things with ultra high velocity slugs. Ideal ammunition for one would be made of depleted uranium (for maximum armor penetration), with a hollow point (to collect tissue or matter, and to also reduce over-penetration). Athough I don't think railguns would be practical (or possible) for infantry use.

[jonmartensen]

I do belive, that at the current velocity attainable by large (not quite tank mountable) railguns, that anything organic would be...splattered. Increase the width of the projectile and taper the end to a point, while travelling roughly 4 km/s, and you have one vaporized soldier.
