If you're after cable tv, I wouldn't consider Bagdad a terribly lucrative target

But you miss the point, we won't be targeting Saddam. We'll be going after CNN.

I can only imagine that they already have a crew on hand, with mechanical cameras, at some Baghdad Neonatal ICU in anticipation of their lead story:

"Bush and the dead babies. Does the U. S. deliberately target Iraqi children?"

The grieving mothers are on call 24/7.

Well, if we had all of these we wanted and they/their true effectiveness weren't still probably classified, it is easy to imagine the discussion between a commander and his "targeteer:"

"C'mon LT, we KNOW Blitz is in the Hilton, just bracket it with two." "Now, sir, you understand we won't be able to knock out the ADA site down the street until the next sortie if we do that..."

But I fear such operational considerations will override such desires, at least for a while, yet.
