They dropped a second satellite-guided bomb "to ensure the target set was serviced appropriately", an air force general said.![](http://ammochiefs.com/AMMO%20Flight.jpg)
JDAM, when it absolutely, positively, needs to be taken out.

Wasnt Ramsi Yousef's "spiritual advisor" named Abdul Rahman as well? Different noodle....that was Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. He's in US Federal custody, serving a life sentence.
I wonder, though...can we do profiling based on one-eyed clerics? Seems like many of the baddies have that similarity! Was that the case with Abdul Rahman?

I have found one source in Spain for the attack video, but none where the video can be saved to the local hard drive.
Has anyone else found a source that they can share of a downloadable version?

yeah and those those who insist that Islam is a Religion of Peace should really take a hard look at this phrase
"Zarqawi, his spiritual adviser, Sheik Abu Abdul-Rahman, and four others were dead"Both himself and his "spiritual advisor" are all of the same kind: Mass Murderers

"As the pilots swung towards Baquba, the most wanted man in Iraq probably did not even notice the fighter jets, kept kilometres away, or realise he had been betrayed by an ally and trailed by US special forces."Or as another FReeper so cleverly put it, Zarcoward (pig fat be smeared upon his rotten corpse) is out having a smoke, hears a jet in distance, looks up, and says, "Oh look, something broke off that plane."

We used to joke about the whole Demming Total Quality Management phraseology when it became the Air Force's big initiative in the mid 1990s. The various organizations started sending out surveys to make sure the "customer" was satisfied with the service rendered. We made a lot of jokes about sending surveys to targets who were the recipient of our services, to ensure they were completely satisfied.

[Kerbouly told Jordanian interrogators the identity and contacts for Zarqawi's spiritual adviser, who served as his liaison to Muslim clerics across Iraq, gathering recruits, funding and support for the insurgency.]
I'd be willing to bet that the Jordanian interrogators were not encumbered by our suicidal self-imposed PC restrictions on interrogation techniques.
