Standing atop Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace, Walter Davis witnessed first-hand the “shock and awe” campaign that marked the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March.

This first sentence makes me regard the rest of the article with great skepticism. IIRC, the presidential palaces were some of the first (and most heavily)-targeted buildings on S&A night one. (Guess I'll go check my videotapes...)

Either somebody is lying -- or this guy is one lucky dumb@SS!

To be evenhanded, I guess I should admit that he might have been privy to some exceptionally good pre-strike intel as to exactly would be targeted on S&A night one...

...still skeptical -- or 'sceptical', if you prefer...

Webster's says both spellings are correct...
