US JETS DROP BOMBS ON CIVILIANS IN SADR CITY

Where are all those retired Generals who are making big bucks off the war as lobbyists and sitting on the Board of defense contractors who will go on TV as "military experts" to claim that "collateral damage" is just part of warfare?

US jets have dropped tons of bombs on civilian neighborhoods in Sadr City in another example of strategic or pinpoint bombing. The accuracy of the guided bombing is mind-boggling. Apparently if the US planes hit one military target out of ten it is considered a good bombing run.

US warplanes have dropped bombs on east Baghdad district of Sadr City where hundreds of civilians have already been killed in air strikes. Residents said low flying jets dropped bombs in sectors 22 and 24 of Sadr City, around midnight (2100 GMT Sunday).

About two hours later, according to witnesses, helicopters fired missiles at four targets in Sadr City. The populated slum area has frequently been pounded by US aircraft or artillery.

Many civilians have been killed and wounded as a result of the attacks.
