| Centcom: Precision strike in Fallujah |
| 2004-09-16 |
| BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Multi-National Force-Iraq conducted a successful precision strike today on a confirmed Abu Musab Al Zarqawi terrorist site in Fallujah. Sources reported the presence of terrorists, foreign fighters, and weapons systems that were intended for use against Iraqi and Multi-National forces. The strike occurred at about 12:30 p.m. The weapons were stored at a home in Fallujah. Foreign fighters continue to operate in and around civilian locations with total disregard for the public's safety and well being. Based on detailed intelligence and analysis, Multi-National forces effectively and accurately targeted this location while taking every measure possible to protect surrounding homes and innocent civilians. By destroying these weapons, Multi-National forces support Iraqi government efforts to rid Fallujah and Iraq of foreign fighters and terrorists while protecting Iraqi civilians. JDAM has become a sniper weapon |

| #4 Shipman, would that this were true, particularly since the bombload for a B52H means they would have to have made at least two trips. |

| #3 Centcom: Not So Precise strike in Fallujah 11/6/2004 TAMPA, FL--Centcom officials today admitted that a theatre wide GPS failure resulted in the indiscriminate bombing of 640 acres in downtown Fallujah. 9 (nine) B-52s dropped approximately 400 tons of imprecise ordinance on the halpless city. It is unclear why 9 (nine) B-52s were in the area, but early fingers are pointing at the Reagan tax cut. |

| #2 It is a bad idea to take risks to protect surrounding homes and innocent civilians. They know what is going on in the neighborhood. They should know that if they let bad guys in, bad things happen. Besides, we're talking Fallujah. Are there any not bad guys left? |
