Shock and Awe

[Garlisk]

There are reports that many people are in "Shock and Awe" at the release of 1.3!!





I don't know about you but im about sick of the words "shock and awe" and I figured just in case you hadn't heard them enough I'd help.

[NeoPendragon]

Heh. I wish I could hack into the CNN computers and change "Shock and Awe" to "OMG DM THIEF LOOFL!!1". :lol:

[LegalAssassin]

I've heard it, but exactly what does this strategy mean?

Perhaps we could use the term "blitzkrieg", then. It's exactly the same tactic.

ON ANOTHER NOTE (to quote a little out of order.. but it makes more sense that way) :

throughout the war United States Secretary of State Colin Powell: OMFG AAmerica and Britain UR FUKT!!!11!!!!!!
all the time now All humans who can think: OMG DUE PROCESS SI [email protected]!!!

the BBC has a running scorecard which you can check out.

(it's amusing to note that while everyone is calling this a war, George Walker still hasn't actually declared war. even after Congress gave up the right to do so. DOH!!! OMFG DEMOCRACY UR FUKT!!!!11!)
and i actually believe that Tony Blair is genuinely participating in this because he thinks it the humanitarian thing to do. even though i'm sort of disillusioned with Britain's Labour party now. i was in India watching the elections on BBC when he triumphed over John Major. i was shouting "kickass!!" but now... oh well. he's still a humanist. George Walker is just mad because he may be politically wily, but we all know that regarding real life, he's just as stupid as they come. NOTE: it's true. Bacteria are MORE INTELLIGENT THAN GEORGE WALKER. i'm so glad i subscribe to Wired

Was afraid so

Sonded like "Hit and Run"... :|

[SNAFU]

"Blitzkrieg" is not hit and run. It's a charge for lack of a better term. You constantly keep the front moving toward your enemy. You pass through his front lines and drive to the other end. No static defense can stop it, because the blitzkrieg's objective is to get behind you. Then, you're behind enemy lines...

The only good defense against such a manuever is to attack first. But "blitzkrieg" is indeed an appropriate word to describe what is going in Iraq. Hell, it's assumed by the military; blitzkrieg IS the only true attack now, because there is simply no way to defend against it.

It's not just a good idea. It's the law. That my friends, is scary... :|

[LegalAssassin]

Well, I meant Hit the enemy and keep Running.

Belive me, I know Blitzkrieg! :twisted:
