What this country does best.
More aerial bombardment in Iraq????
Try to reconcile these three accounts, from three countries.
I'm not clear on how this "extraordinary amount of firepower" can be"precision" bombing. sounds kinda like what the us military does best: raindown death from above, in which anyone killed was by definition aninsurgent.
Curiously, not two weeks ago, Arab Jabour was being exhibited as a case of "progress in security", as per the first dispatch below, which notes"farmers working" outside and "children going to schoo".
Mot to worry about those farmers and children, though. One of thesearticles (the US one) quotes a local militia member that "civilian casualties in his area were avoided Thursday because American forces instructed his group to warn residents to leave the area." So presumablythey left their homes behind after being told to do so. and maybetheir homes were reduced to rubble. But hey.

Very good post.
The antiwar coalitions have events planned in March, on the 5th anniversary of the war.
