More precision strikes

If we're to believe what the US military has been telling us all along, we have to believe this was done deliberately. The Beeb tells us on Saturday that

[a] hospital has been razed to the ground in one of the heaviest US air raids in the Iraqi city of Falluja.

Witnesses said only the facade remained of the small Nazzal Emergency Hospital in the centre of the city. There are no reports on casualties.

A nearby medical supplies storeroom and dozens of houses were damaged as US forces continued preparing the ground for an expected major assault.

The hospital, which is - was - run by a Saudi Arabian Islamic charity, and all its contents were lost.

I guess it was just another of those "sites used by senior al-Zarqawi leaders to plan terrorist operations."
