The NPR reporter couldn't find any casualties from US bombs,

I watched a short part of the Canadian BS on CSPAN, and they were spending their time trying to find unhappy Iraqis in refugee camps, it seemed.

I am not too happy with the "Shock and Awe" in Baghdad. When spend a fortune bombing empty buildings? The Iraqis had all left town for the weekend. :>) One of the commentators on PBS Friday was complaining that this whole war seemed to Political so far. We are being to PC about our targets and war fighting. We will know when this is over. Too much "Fog" right now.

>>NPR reports that about 200 Baghdadis were wounded last night, all from anti-aircraft shrapnel.<<

Not that the Iraqis give a flying flip, but shooting anti-aircraft rounds into the sky at random is an extraordinarily reckless thing to do, and probably violates international law vis-a-vis Iraqi civilians.

What goes up must come down.
