you ever think the actual targets hide in civilian homes? When there is a squad of army infantry being pinned down from fire from a house because the insurgents are to coward to come out and fight what should you do? put yourself in there shoes bro, either you watch your brothers and eventually you get ripped apart because the enemy has a superior firing position or you call in a fucking airstrike. Yes civilian deaths are terrible, but they are apart of every war. If they didnt hide their weapons or themselves in civilian buildings there would be no problem.
And to all you who say there was no WMD's, have you ever heard of things that are CLASSIFIED. There was a great show on the history channel it was about missions that had recently become declassified. One was about a WMD coming from the middle east on a swedish cargo ship. It was inteded to reach port in NYC where a terrorist sell would detenate the bomb. Well guess what, Seal Team 6 was deployed found the bomb and placed explosives on this ship so when it blew up it would give PLENTY of time for a mayday call and all crew memebers to safely board a lifeboat. Besides that kick ass story if there were WMDs in Iraq, the general population would probably not know about it. There are things going on over there that would blow your mind if the general population could hear it. There is a video somewhere of Obama coming out of his intelligence briefing, the look on his face is priceless, and i think he had a few more grey hairs.
Its way more complicated over there than it seems.
