I don't have anything handy to document this, and I thought I picked it up on one of the BLOGs (Chester, maybe Belmontclub). From what I read, I was under the impression that they do have GPS guilded artillery deployed in Falluja, and that this accuracy was a major factor in shaping the battlefield.

I read that laser guided munitions were not due out until 2006, but as with the 30,000 bunker busting MOAB, I take all those dated with a grain of salt. We're at war, and if the Pentagon tosses $cash$ at the contractor, and tells him "ASAP", then they WILL beat their schedule estimate.

That's why I didn't question it but said something like "..way cool!" when I read about the accuracy of the GPS guided munitions it.
