This guy blames the use of JDAM's (GPS weapons guidance) vs laser guidance, saying they're less accurate. This is bs because laser bombs are only accurate under _ideal_conditions and go haywire in smoke (as in detonation smoke), cloud, fog,etc. He doesn't mention that Boeing's supplier for JDAM batteries shipped large quantities of defective product. More importantly, he makes no mention of warlords calling air strikes on each other's villages or the US intentionally terror bombing (and strafing) civilians as a warning to other recalcitrant states such as Somalia.
