You're breakin' my freakin' heart, Mark! At least you get to go! Me thinks it's gonna get awful quiet around here until everyone gets back from the rally. I was supposed to attend but have had to can it for this year due to work commitments. I'm going to slide down there in August for a couple of days and check out the area for next year. Have fun, everyone. Remember Tina's accident and wear your gear. Ride safe. Cheers, D. GBG eh14

Fred, Was this your idea? "When and if the United States does go to war, military sources say the United States is preparing a monster new weapon to be used during the first nights. It's called MOAB, short for "massive ordinance air burst" bomb. It is a modern, bigger version of the 15,000-pound "Daisy Cutter" used in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf War and Afghanistan. Sources say MOAB is still experimental and is a 21,000-pound bomb that will be pushed out the back of a C-130 transport and guided by satellite. Because it is not dropped by parachute, as was the old Daisy Cutter, the aircraft can let it go from far higher altitudes, making it safer for U.S. pilots. The MOAB's massive explosive punch, sources say, is similar to a small nuclear weapon. It is intended to obliterate a command center hidden in tunnels and bunkers or a concentration of Iraqi tanks. Whatever the target, it must be far from cities where civilians might be hurt. But one important aspect of using this type of weapon, sources say, will be psychological impact on enemy troops. It is intended to terrorize Iraqi troops, drastically reducing their desire to continue the fight. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/World/newbomb030225.html _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

No sorry, My idea for mass destruction is the ZON machine. So far my "Plan" seems to be working. Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/cmc.html

Weapon's Name Bombs in Utah City BY BRANDON GRIGGS ? 2003, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Folks in southeastern Utah are up in arms -- pun intended -- about an enormous new bomb the Pentagon reportedly will use in any U.S.-led war on Iraq. Its name? The MOAB. Military sources tell ABC News the experimental, 21,000-pound bomb, about the size of a car, is similar to a small nuclear weapon. Its nickname is an acronym for "massive ordnance air burst" and not a reference to Utah's mountain-biking magnet, but that doesn't make Dave Sakrison feel much better. "They could have picked a better name," grumbled the Moab mayor, who plans to e-mail Utah's congressional delegation to protest the missile's moniker. "Everyone I've talked to around town is pretty much appalled." Moab, considered more liberal than most of southern Utah, has held a handful of anti-war demonstrations in recent months. Some residents fear the bomb's negative connotations -- and worldwide opposition to an Iraq war -- could dampen tourism in a town that attracts many foreign visitors. Others just hate seeing their hometown associated with a weapon capable of such destruction. "This is not the way we want our town to be put on the map," said Grand County Councilwoman Joette Langianese. "I don't want to see on the news that the MOAB was dropped on Iraq and killed thousands of people." In its Tuesday evening newscast, ABC News reported the MOAB is a bigger and better version of the "Daisy Cutter," used by the U.S. military most recently in Afghanistan. That weapon also has a Utah connection: It was developed by former University of Utah professor Melvin Cook 30 years ago to clear landing zones for helicopters in Vietnam. The red-rock Utah town is the only community of any size named Moab in the country. It takes its name from the biblical kingdom southeast of the Dead Sea in what is now Jordan -- which, coincidentally, borders Iraq. No doubt Jordanians aren't too fond of the new bomb's name, either. Elected officials in Moab don't know whether it is too late to rename the bomb. Military acronyms tend to stick, although the Pentagon changed its response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks from Operation Infinite Justice to Operation Enduring Freedom after Muslim groups protested that infinite justice could be administered only by Allah. Not all Moab residents are fuming over their near-nuclear namesake, however. Adrien Taylor, editor of the weekly Moab Times Independent, believes townspeople are overreacting a little. "Getting upset about it is not going to change anything. I don't think anybody did this to give Moab a black eye," she said. "If there was a town called Scud, would they have changed the name of the Scud missile? I don't think so." -----Original Message----- From: Fred Hink [SMTP:moabmc@...] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 5:44 PM To: Conall O'Brien; DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: NKLR MOAB No sorry, My idea for mass destruction is the ZON machine.

Moab's already got enough problems with uranium tailings, doesn't it? Now they go and name a clusterf**k bomb after it. Maybe this is part of their "shock & awe" scenario planned for the first two days. Don't be surprised if there are other weapons unleashed like weather modification and/or electromagnetic scalar weapons. There's so much chit going on, on so many fronts these days, it boggles trying to keep up with it. What's the Buddhist saying?........."may you live in interesting times"?
