Why didn't they time a MOAB for 10 minutes after the first wave, and then another one 15 minutes later? That would seem to have taken care of what remained of Saddam and his henchmen.

Woo hoo! The Iraqi leadership (what's left of it) is fleeing Baghdad! I think the mysterious dawn explosions in the center of Baghdad may have gotten a few more.

MOAB isn't as precise as our munitions so far. We want to be snipers. Media have noted that Iraq hasn't brought reporters to see the civilian casualties like in the Gulf War. It's because there aren't any. People are getting hurt from things falling on them-- mostly AAA fire falling back to ground, but also parts of buildings thrown in the air.

Remember, we want them to give up, not dead. We haven't hit Baghdad very hard for sustained attacks because we want to give them a chance to surrender. You hit them and then give them a chance. You hit them harder and then give them a chance, etc.
