How about just thinking?

<There have been 10 days of of the US and Britain raining the largest conventional weapons they have on a city of 5 million people.

Big one's, little ones, cruise missiles, blasts which shake the Earth for miles. Fighters, bombers, stealth bombers, C-130s and your basic cruise missiles.

A "thousand points of light", and then another thousand and another. Bomb after bomb after bomb.



And two of them miss, both happening to hit crowded marketplaces far from any designated targets. Where are the rest of the misses in all these thousands of bombs? Where are the bombs that missed that hit fields, yards, parking ramps, roads, or homes? Certainly Iraq would be trumpeting these as well if damage was done. In addition, if errant Iraqi missiles had done damage elsewhere in Baghdad, why aren't they touting these as evidence of Allied bombs?

There are too many holes in too many scenarios. Of course, if you find the Iraqi propaganda engine more trustworthy than our own side's version of things, I can't do anything about that.

Try and find fatalities in Baghdad not related to one of the two marketplace explosions. I'd look it up myself, but can't raise Google for some reason.
