A U.S. warplane early Tuesday destroyed a popular restaurant which the U.S. command said was a meeting place for members of Iraq's most feared terrorist organization.

I'd love to know the delivery process. An A-10? I love that aircraft.

It was most likely an F-16 with a JDAM.

Probably not. More likely an F-16C/D, an F-15E, or if the Navy is horning in, an F/A-18 or F-14 BombCat. Those have better avionics fits and are better for dropping the JDAM or other precision weapons that are dropped "blind" as far as the aircraft is concerned (IE, they are dropped on coordinates, rather than aimed at visible target.
