#1 I don't care about the whining residents, I want to know WHO we killed, besides "puppies and kittens for orphans of parents killed by US bombing".

#2 Did we get their attention yet?

It damn hard to behead people when you're running from rabbit hole to rabbit hole.

#4 A5296 -

My current contract is with the Army, at Aberdeen. I'm referred to as a "contractor." If my next contract is also with the Army, but in Baghdad, will that make me a "mercenary"?

#5 Unlikely to find out who, exactly, was there for a while. This was a nice touch, though:
Residents, however, accused the United States of striking twice â the second time after rescuers moved into the site trying to pull out victims.

Classic tactics. The A-Q boys have been known to do that themselves, I believe - or try to, at any rate.

#6 Mojo - secondary explosions more likely, from the good stuff they were keeping in the house...

#7 Don't matter to me one way or t'other, Frank. Make the rubble bounce...

#8 :-) I'd rather we did it - just to keep the swarmers on their toes, and cut down on bad guyz getting first aid

#9 Fred: Well, if you are a mercenary, remember, the word isn't "Mercenaries!?" It's "Mercenaries!" A glad cry...

#10 Oh, good. Al-Bawaba weighs in. Combine this with the Al-Jazzera exclusive about "no bad guys here" and that's all the convincing I need.
