SAS,

It goes without saying that launching unguided missiles in the "general direction" give or take 5 degrees of arc souhtbound is irresponsible and targets civillians.

But it's not all roses and clinical precision at the other end either, dropping 500kgers into civilian housing and using attack helos to take out one car in the middle of a crowded market is not hero stuff either.

with reference to the accuracy of these smart munitions , if you cast your mind back to the opening "shock" and "awe" Bagdad aerial attack by the coalition, shock seems appropriate, in terms of the shockingly innacurate results achieved.

It is malicious intent on both sides.
