"'There are no cluster munitions at all. We are not supposed to be firing cluster munitions into the city,' he said."

So let me get this straight. The commanders--situated comfortably back in Washington--are denying our soldiers the tools they need to win?...What does this remind me of?...Does the name Vietnam sound familiar?--when LBJ decided the list of targets and non-targets according to some inner voice?

Bring out the cluster munitions, the bouncing betties, the suck-you-lungs-out thingies.

Cluster munitions are of little use in urban areas. They detonate on roofs and walls. Tube artillery is far better suited. It's just a matter of getting enough rounds on target before the irregulars are smoked.
