Is this allowed by the Americans with Disabilities Act? Is it fair to make your enemy blind? Surely that's not fair!! CALL THE ICC!!!!

I like this kind of incremental war.......inch by inch......getting closer all the time!!!

"destroyed a major military surveillance site that monitors American troops in the Persian Gulf, witnesses said Tuesday"

Always the first to go in modern war. Take out communications/intel/command posts. Leave 'em blind and guessing. Worked in '91, will always work. I liked Hackworth's assessment too: "In '91, we had 'smart bombs'. Now we have 'genius bombs'". God bless American technology and protect our brave fighting forces....

destroyed a major military surveillance site .....killing eight civilians and wounding nine others.

Yeah, right. Civilians killed, no military, at a major military site. More B...SH-ussein.

Basra, a major port city on the strategic Shatt Al Arab waterway.

Hmmm,Another little hors'doeuvre before serving up the MAIN COURSE!!!

I read in an earlier report that there were 35 sorties on this strike. That seems a lot compared to what has been reportedly destroyed. Is there more to this story? (35 sorties?)

The Iraqi military said the allied warplanes on Sunday bombed areas in Basra province, 330 miles south of Baghdad, killing eight civilians and wounding nine others

Funny how according to them, our raids kill only civilians.

Thanks for posting this.

Seems like there is a whole lot of Preemption going on over there.

Preemption, Preemptive Strikes, has such a nice sound to it!

The Iraqis will put their surveillance equipment in schools and hospitals, knowing we won't attack them there.

In other news, U.S. warplanes heavily bombed an Iraqi villiage 130 miles southwest of Baghdad.
No civilians were killed, however 130 Iraqi soldiers are now missing...

So Saddam is blind...we hope...China probably built the installation, and I hope it was the only one.

Anyhow....BULLSEYE BUMP!!!

D-Day for the liberation of Iraq is September 11, 2002.

Hey...how can Iraq be a big trading partner of Jordan if zillions of Iraqi children are dying because Iraq has no money because of US sanctions?
