“In the opening battle, the tank unit fired two 120 mm high velocity depleted uranium rounds straight down the main road, creating a powerful vacuum that literally sucked guerrillas out from their hideaways into the street, where they were shot down by small arms fire or run over by the tanks,” said a commander of tank unit as quoted by the MSNBC.

About a thousand dwellers of the town were killed by the suffocation and then firing by the American ‘liberating’ troops. A British journalist in Baghdad described the incident as a “massacre not a war.”

These weapons create vacuum of such a great intensity that even the blood and flesh comes out of the mouth. It was not enough. The brave US soldiers ruthless fired on the civilians who were sucked out of their homes by the vacuum created by these tactical nuclear weapons. And yet their media brands this war as the war for the freedom of Iraq…


Oh please...

All the way...

i don't know much about those rounds, but i doubt that would be possible...
wouldn't a vacuum behind a projectile create a lot of drag?

All objects in motion, within an atmosphere, are subject to vacuume. The vacuume effect is real enough, ever felt your car shake when another car passes it?

The second artical is reporting it as a tactical nuclear weapon, not the DU penetrator it was. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

The second article:

“US use tactical nuclear weapons in Iraq war”

After reading this junk I had to laugh for a few hours I only wish Saddam could see a real tactical nuclear weapon!

We'll just load TheBigThug up on beans and broccoli and dump him out the back of a C-17 with a timed-flare belted to his backside...Just like an FAE, but with a multi-kiloton PUNCH!
