From some quarters, you would think the Bagdad bombing was Dressden revisited. Pictures falsely attempt to show the entire city in flames.

They often use the same techniques in showing natural disasters from numerous angles and elevations to give the immpression of damage more widespread than it actually is. Skillfully done, a thousand square yards can be panned to look like a thousand square miles.

I don't doubt that some inadverdant casualties occurred but the precision was amazing when you see the actual targets hit by multiple strikes. Many of our jets returned with their bombs due to lack of targets.
