'Smart' Bombs

Originally posted: January 1st 2009.

The Israel Air Force used a new bunker-buster that it received recently from the United States in the strikes on the Gaza Strip on Saturday 27th December 2008.
The missile, called GBU-39, was developed in recent years by the US as a small diameter bomb for low-cost, "high-precision" and "low-collateral" strikes.
The Zionists bought 1,000 of the missiles in September 2008. The regime claims that they were used successfully to penetrate underground Kassam launchers in the Gaza strip during the heavy aerial bombardment on Saturday. They were also used in Sunday's bombing of tunnels in Rafah.
The GPS-guided GBU-39 is said to be one of the most accurate bombs in the world. The 113kg. bomb has the same penetration ability as a 'normal' 900kg bomb, although it has only 22.7kg. of explosives. At just 1.75 metres long, its small size means an aircraft can carry more, and attack more targets in one raid.

There has been much talk about "smart" bombs over the years since America declared War on Fright. The claims made for them are strictly science-fiction, though. If they really as smart as we are told, then the US cold-bloodedly intended to wipe out an entire wedding party in Afghanistan, and the Zionists premeditatedly murdered (as I write) upwards of 400 Palestinian civilians who were already suffering from years of enforced deprivation and mini-pogroms in the world's biggest concentration camp.
Just as the UK made a neat profit from the Vietnam War by manufacturing all the napalm that was dropped on the Vietnamese, the economy is benefiting from the US-sponsored policy of partial genocide in Palestine. The company that produces guidance electronics for the US-supplied F-16 plane which drops the GBU-39, Raytheon, has its administration offices on the outskirts of Bristol.
