It is time to announce clearly that in future conflicts, the US will attack hostile forces wherever they sit,

Can you cite examples where this has worked?

In the past no one ever expected that an attacking force would immunize schools, churches, hospitals, urban areas, if that is where shooting came from. I imagine that churches were attacked by tank fire routinely during WWII when snipers were in the bell towers.

Precision munitions only go so far. We are deploying now 500-lb JDAMS to use in tighter quarters, and even concrete-filled bombs. But when a Saddam places anti-aircraft missles on top of a hospital or hotel filled with American journalists, what do we do? We are training enemies to commit war crimes by letting them know that it is a winning tactic. If and when there are trials in Iraq, I hope they make an example of people who placed weapons in these sites.
