I just had a chance to watch the video. The video is shot from the aircraft that lased the first bomb into the target. His laser starts firing 11 seconds prior to impact. When the bomb impacts it is a standard high order detonation from a standard Mk-82 bomb body. It blows out the weakest points of all four walls (the middle) and throws a cloud of debris through the roof. This was nothing more than a typical laser guided bomb delivery against a not so typical target. The guys who dropped the bomb are experts, just like all the guys from all the services flying over Iraq. Anyone of them could have done the exact same thing. And no doubt all of them wish they had been given the opportunity.

On the video there is a white spot moving down and to the right of the house. It's hard to tell if its a person running (thermal image?) or part of the camera system.

I don't recall the exact words, but North as I recall implied that there were no troops on the ground lighting up the target. The other F16 probably handled that?
