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?)

That was what I read, maybe it was a deeply hardened site and we wanted to make sure!!

But I thought that was a report from the Iraqi side and maybe they wanted to elevate the size as a morale booster. Would be nice to hear from Rumsfeld as to more details!

See blam's post # 16...

Perhaps some of the target was underground, and surveillance was used to target subsequent missions as the target was... ahhh, "opened up to full view." In a manner of speaking.
