Someone obviously believes that someone may still be alive.

This may be the one aimed at a weapons cache.

That must have been this afternoon when I jumped off of the couch. Whatever THAT was, it shocked me in front of my tv. One really loud KABOOM.

This should of been what we dropped the first night, then there'd be no questions whether he's alive or dead.

Now they are correcting themselves because they said the bunker buster was dropped from a B52 when it was a B2.

Well, I see there are new explosions rocking Baghdad area tonight. Rock on... The one earlier today was purty loud IMO. I think we need to get to it before Syria gets involved, etc. A B-2 bomber dropped the big bomb and there may have been more than one per, that Keith guy on msnbc. Cent Command "important Command & Control facility. In any case, the B-2 stealth bomber can fly over bag undetected. Major communications center was struck today - that's the one I saw and heard earlier.

Military communications system were in a civilian building. 101st Airborne has set up forward base deep inside Iraq" per msnbc. Over and out... FV
