I don't have statistics to disprove your less-than-1% number but less-than-1% seems to be less than acceptable in a crowded city like Bagdad.

That's a ridiculous statement.

its being made to look like we are slaughtering the people.

Sure, in the liberal media you so aptly defend. So what? It doesn't matter how careful you are, Al Jazeera is going to paint the United States as baby killers. Period. If we don't kill civilians, Saddam will kill them and Al Jazeera will report it as though we did. So we can just do the best we can.

To suggest that 1% isn't sufficient is just plain dumb. No nation in history has ever made these kind of extraordinary efforts.

into a crowded marketplace in a poor district of Bagdad that seemingly has no military value.

There is no credible evidence that one of our missles "slammed into a crowded marketplace". Obviously, you got this courtesy Peter Arnet & Wolf Blitzer. Or was it "the Guardian"?

Well, by your view of things, the war should be over by the end of April.

Actually, my guess is mid-May. But it could be mid-April, could be mid-June, could be next June. Sooner is better, but it will be done when it is done.
