#3 What about the time between the two bomb hits? It looked like a shoot-look-shoot rather than a classic double-tap. So, who was doing the looking and saw that Zarqawi was still alive (maybe outside) after the first bomb hit? If this has been covered already (It seems obvious), then I missed it.

#6 What about the time between the two bomb hits?

About 30 seconds.

The pilot, after doing an initial BDA on the structure, decided to drop a second JDAM.
