Heard on News Hour that the last couple of bombing attacks have NOT had any anti-aircraft fire in Baghdad.
That means the Spectre and C-130's can fly. And if C-130 comes by, can a BLU82 be far behind?
John Byrnes is one of my favorite reporters in Baghdad.

If you rely on PBS for your news, your brain will rot.

Tell me you don't propose putting a BLU82 in the center of Baghdad.

>>...What is a BLU82??...<<
I think it's a pop music group. Like Matchstick 20, InTheSink, and Frontstreet Boys.
Or, it could just be the one right after BLU81.

I think its MOAB's uncle.

BLU82 a.k.a. Daisy Cutter

Remember, the BLU and MOAB were designed to fit in the bomb bays of B2s & B52s too.

"Just saw AAA about ten minutes ago over Bagdad. "
So much for that report. But it was from a reporter live in Baghdad. Also, Baghdad is about the size of Chicago, so there may not be firing where he is (down town Medina hotel) but it may be out in the suburbs.
I think it is most likely the gunners are conserving their ammunition.

...........they've got to run out sometime. They certainly aren't going to be getting any new supplies! Surely,.....SH has buried enough ammo stores to last Baghdad in seige for at least ONE WHOLE YEAR.
With more BB attacks,......maybe,....we can make sure they stay buried from access!
Also,.....be sure that it is also stored throughout (spread out) the 'civilian' areas above ground!!
The 10,000 'holy' places/areas are most likely,....really 'loaded'
SH-Baghdad will run out of 'soldiers' before it runs out of ammo.

There is only one way to find out for sure.
Send in a low flying helicopter with US markings with Hans Blix on board and see if he draws any fire. ;-)

Can't shoot at what you don't know is there. Stealth kicking big butt.
