Coalition Strikes Insurgents in Ramadi
2006-05-11
For the third straight day, coalition aircrews targeted an abandoned train station in Ramadi today, military officials in Iraq reported. Coalition forces have delivered precision munitions at the same train station multiple times in the past three days in response to hostile insurgent activity, officials said, adding that the station is a known hub of insurgent activity. Officials did not provide a casualty or damage assessment.

#3  Sometimes, it is better to let the enemy have what it thinks are useful gathering sites. It makes the probabilities of mass causulties on their part more likely when you hit the locations.

What tha f***?? Why isn't there a nice size crater at this location by now? The only way to keep the roaches from scurrying back to their dens is to provide all around open space!
