"U.S., Iraqi troops try to rout al-Qaida insurgents near Syrian border" (by declaring war on the civilian population.)

"The coalition forces sometimes found it hard to spot insurgents hiding in the town's 4,000 homes and called in support from Abrams tanks and fighter jets, the Times said."

"The New York Times reported Sunday that coalition forces supported by tanks and fighter jets dropping 500-pound bombs met more resistance than expected from insurgents in the town of Husaybah, and only managed to take control of several blocks by nightfall Saturday."

Gives lie to the idea of "precision" bombing in civilian areas. A 500 pound dropped from an airplane is identical to a 500 pound car bomb in a civilian area, isn't it?

Both of them are terrorism.
