Damn, I hope there was a good reason for destoying that big ass boat(Maybe they took fire from it). Otherwise I think it would have been wise to sell it to an outside bidder and use the money to rebuild rather than our tax payers dollars. Kind of a bonehead move if there wasnt a logical reason to destroy. hell I would have paid 100 bucks for it!

Yeah it would have been better to sell it but remember some people just don't think!

At 350 feet and 7,359 tons, I'm surprised it hasn't been on the cover of ***boat before.

**** that yacht. We were over there blowinig shit up. That yacht had to go.
I think if we really wanted it sunk it would be. Makes a better statment just like it is if you ask me.
Saddam Hussein's regime drifting aimlessly with the tide in a big heap of scrap. I'm liking the message that giving myself.

But no matter how hard the coalition tried, they still couldn't sink it.
Yea, bullshit! If they wanted to sink it, it would be sunk! I don't think the BBC has done a good of a job covering the war, anyway.
To think anyone could be living the "high life" while his country-men were suffering just pisses me off! :mad:
