The Iraqi targets that never were

Remember the first night of the war, when cruise missiles crashed down on a location where Saddam Hussein was believed to be hiding? Guess what they found.

Nothing. According to News24.

Admittedly, my source is a little shaky, as the numerous grammatical errors in the article suggest (especially the missing word in the first paragraph), but if even half their facts are right, it's a pretty funny story.

First of all, there was no underground bunker, just big holes where the bombs hit.

Secondly, they missed the palace. They managed to destroy every building in the compound, but missed the palace itself. According to the CBS crew that were there first (or so they claim), a person in the palace could have survived, despite all the windows being blown out.

Thank God for Western Intelligence and Precision Munitions.
