US "precision" air strike in Falluja kills 14, 17 wounded

This latest air raid brings up a few critical issues with the war. First, are we to believe the US military who claim it was a "precision strike" and that only the bad guys were taken out? Sadly, their track record with reporting the truth is not exactly spotless. Second, what the hell does it mean when they talk about a "precision strike?" From what I have seen, the so-called precision strikes have been pretty brutal and lacking in precision. There's no way to seperate the good guys from the bad guys when you're leveling a house. It all goes and the neighbors house goes as well. Third, how are we supposed to win over hearts and minds when we are killing local civilians? This is so counter productive it is not funny.

Looking at this latest round of precision strikes leads me to believe that the Bushies are getting desperate for a homerun in Iraq and to hell with the locals. It also says that they are trying to minimize US casualties with these brutal air strikes for short term gains instead of looking at the long term goal of peace in Iraq. Killing women from age 5 to 50 (as has been reported today) is no way to win the peace. The worst part about it is that Bush does not have a clue and thinks that everything is going well. This is pathetic, shameful and desperate.
