I think I would ask what kinds of bombs. I heard Donahue say "dropping incendiary bombs on innocent children and old people". That is incorrect.

The munitions of today are 10 times more accurate than in the 91 war. They will be targeted at their military command and control centers. They are seldom dropped any more unless we are trying to blast down into tunnels and underground bunkers. I am sure that daisy cutters will rain down on the 50 palaces and anybody inside will be doomed. I don't consider them a civilian target. Most of them are smart bombs that are launched. We have E-bombs that are cruise missiles emitting microwaves that fry electrical circuits. They can actually fly down airshafts into bunkers.

The main objective of the 3000 "bombs" is to soften them up and disable the army for our ground troops. Another objective is to just psych them out and possibly make the army surrender or stage a coup by showing such massive fire power.

I have a suspicion that Special Ops wearing civilian garb will be on the ground even before the air assault begins to disarm the explosives Saddam has had placed on all of the big infrastructure items like dams, bridges, power plants and oil fields.

The military would be foolish to tell everybody their battle plans but I have faith that they are bending over backwards to minimize civilian casualties. Otherwise why would they be operating the Commander Solo and dropping leaflets to the citizens?

Please take a closer look at what their plans might be before ringing the alarm bell.
