Mr Chairperson in war one has weapons.  A weapon is made up of the charge or the thing that is going to cause the injury, it is made up of a delivery mechanism and in this case the car was a delivery mechanism. It was a way of getting it there to that precise point.  In fact that was more specific in targeting what we wanted to hit than if we had gone somewhere and mounted an artillery piece and aimed to hit the Air Force Headquarters from somewhere because that artillery piece is less accurate than that would have been.
	An artillery piece is take to be a weapon of war accepted throughout, but simply because explosives are packed into a vehicle and delivered there, if those explosives were taken and put into something else and put there that doesn't make any difference.  The issue is that the explosives were brought to the point to where the targets were to strike at them.  The connotation of car bombs is simply because elsewhere everywhere people then make out that these are terrorist weapons etc.  We are suggesting, or I would suggest that within the means that we had at our disposal that was a weapon we could use.  It's use was authorised by a political organisation, by our President and we used it.
