I'll have to take your word that in the first video there is actually a tank in the crosshairs, because I do not see anything.
To: Diogenesis
Notice the change in the fuselage of the airplane in the lower right.

Are those pictures of the orphanage? Clearly. They blew away the boys and girls gyms. What else could those arched structures have been? :)

The one on the left is the orphanage, the one on the right is the baby milk factory....
To: Diogenesis
Why don't they hit that airplane (to the right and below hangers)? Looks like a pretty obvious target to me.
To: 45Auto
Also note that both the before
and the after picture show cluster bomb damage in the lower left hand corner, encompassing a part of the runway as well as what looks like an anti-aircraft artillery battery.
This reminds me of what is aggravating about the press and their total lack of knowledge of military matters. Obviously, the first order of business is take out the direct threat to attacking aircraft, then take out the means to wage war, and finally, if at all possible, retain as much as you can of the enemy's position for your own use later. Such a methodical gameplan TAKES TIME. Based on these two photographs, I would give our guys an A+. The runway is usable with only a minimum of rework, and the enemy has been denied all use of irreplaceable aircraft.

All those thousands of mothballed planes in the California desert,
can't we just load them up---helicopters too...fill em up and crash land them "over there"!
Do some fly byes(draw fire) too!
Do a kamikaze-cyber dot-com!

Also notice that these pics were taken right before and after. All cars still in same place in middle right portion of pic.
To: rolling_stone
OK, smarty pants, then where is the hospital?
I was going to ask about the aspirin factory, but I remember the previous administration already took it out.
To: a_Turk
Yeah, it probably wouldn't be real economical to waste a bomb on a half an airplane.
To: NeonKnight
If you look closely at the plane in the 'after' photo, it is clearly missing the tail section.
To: a_Turk
Also, I thought we had been hitting that airfield for weeks now. Doesn't really look like it.
To: NeonKnight

It looks like an earlier bomb may have struck a target on the lower right.
To: rolling_stone
The one on the left is the orphanage, the one on the right is the baby milk factory.... I think they doubled as hospitals and retirement homes or were those in the Red Cross buildings destroyed?
