Who were those folks killed when we first bombed Saddam and Sons..?
at the beginning of the war? Remember when we had a "window of opportunity" and we had intelligence that Saddam and sons may have been in the building, so we sent in a few of those "bunker buster" bombs? It happened immediately after George Jr's 48 hr ultimatum to Saddam. But we would need DNA to know whether or not it was Saddam if by chance we found a small body part? Who did we really kill with those bombs?

Then, a few weeks later, we bombed another neighborhood where intelligence thought Saddam had just left a restaurant. More of those powerful "bunker buster" bombs...who was killed that time?

Then just two or three weeks ago, we finally kill Uday and Qusay one more time. But this time, we had the bodies for 'proof'. And we are still after Saddam. Isn't it about time for another one of those misdirected "bunker busters".

1. Mission Accomplished ...
Who cares who gets killed while we are looking for Saddam. But rest assured that our glorious leader did not fire a $2 million missile and hit a $10 tent and a camel in the ass.

2. Mostly Christian families who lived near the restaurant

Only Peter Arnett and Robert Fisk wrote anything about them, Peter knew one of the men, who lost his wife and 2 little girls.
