The “Shock and Awe” campaign has begun. War is a terrible thing, but there are some interesting aspects to it.
What is impressive is the accuracy that the JDAMs and other bombs have. Sure, the tomahawks are accurate… but I’m intimately familiar with them (having served aboard a US submarine) so their precision came as no suprise; but the accuracy of the bombs is incredible. Whether you are for or against the war, you have to marvel at how things have changed in the past 12 years or so since the last time the US was involved in Iraq.
