| #4 They mention helicopters using "pellet bombs". I googled "pellet bomb", seems like that's what some people call cluster bombs. The small bomblets are filled with steel pellets for anti-personnel effect. Haven't seen them being used from choppers, but the low speed would not be a problem, might even help accuracy at low levels. Bastards. |

| #3 They mention helicopters using "pellet bombs". Can anyone explain that to me? I'm envisioning boxes of ball bearings spilled out from a height, but that can't be right, can it? |

| #2 The FreeArab Forum's slogan is almost hidden in the banner: There is no God but Liberty; our conscience its messenger. I like it, but the Wahhabis probably think that it's blasphemy. |
