Why so large a weapon for such a target?

Ironic thing is this strike was before the new ROE, these days they most likely would not have been allowed to call in a bomb on a structure like that.

Because they really wanted him dead ;-)

Remember a JDAM is a pretty cheap weapon (comparatively speaking), it's a dumb bomb with a fin and nose kit.

Brilliant weapon, cost effective and as deadly as they come.

Thanks. I had the impression, quite erroneous, it seems, that it was a really, really big and expensive banger.

You think we would have learned.

Actually Bush did learn, he gave his commanders the authority to make the call, Obama only cares about bad press hence awards for not shooting.

Yes he did, and that's why I miss him sooooo much!

We are so screwed, but that's for another topic, thanks for the post!
