Skeptical of what? That we actually got them?

I don't see why not. We obviously have agents in Basra--just as we have them in Baghdad. Our agents found out the Fedayeen's meeting place and called us with the GPS coordinates. A relatively few minutes later we blew it to pieces.

That's the way we do things nowadays. It's why the Pentagon says we are roughly ten times as powerful now as in 1991.

Also, keep in mind that the Fedayeen do not have a long history of understandable paranoia like Saddam. They would not be as careful about their meetings as he would be.

That's what really doomed them.

I will repeat yet again, that I just can't imagine how the perps could be so stupid to gather in such numbers in one building, precisely because certainly in Basra there are Allied agents or assets in place all over the city, and thus their movements are known. You need to spread out, and be very near human shields or structures immune from attack such as a Mosque at all times. Any time that strategy is abandoned, the premium to underwrite your life insurance goes way, way up.

NEWS FLASH>>>>>>>>>>>>CNN REPORTING

Iraqi building took out two U.S. bombs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Our agents found out the Fedayeen's meeting place and called us with the GPS coordinates.

They reported the bombs were laser guided, so we probably had a man on the ground find the site, then recieve word to paint it, and report back instant DBA. That's how we know there were no persons seen leaving the building.
