#1 That reporter's hands are probably raw from all the wringing going on.

#2 Sorry. Those massive burning oil smoke clouds must've screwed up our aim.

#3 agonist.org reports:

Developing story right now is that the 'bomb' that went off in the market earlier is left too small a crater for coalition weapon. It was only 2 feet deep. Suspected to be an Iraqi air defense weapon. The weapon, repeat, does not resemble any coalition 'penetration weapon'.

BTW, you all should be reading agonist.org

#4 It is likely to increase anger in the Arab world

Wouldn't want to risk the high opinion of the Arab Street would we?
Just think, to lose the respect of such peaceful, reasonable people would be a freakin' tragedy....

#5 agonist.org is okay if you don't delve too far into the comments section.
It's full of "If Bush executed my family I wouldn't think much of the Americans either", and "Every TV station in the world is broadcasting civilian casualties except the United States. You are being lied to by this Administration..." and on and on.
God what assclowns.

#6 "'bomb' that went off in the market earlier is left too small a crater for coalition weapon"

I thought so too.
A 1000lb warhead on cruise missle would have made a hell of a hole,500lb JDAM smaller,but still a big hole,CBU would have seen a line of similar holes running down the street.
