The target was apparently the $150 million 'bomb proof' superbunker that Saddam had the Germans build for him several years ago. A lot of the 'bunker busting' technology we've been developing over the past few years was due to that specific bunker.

Do I want to wish the Americans good luck in their unprovoked invasion of a country that is aimed at overthrowing a ruthless evil dictator.


[Thinks about what it would be like to be an Iraqi civilian living in Baghdad with the bombs falling all around. Thinks about the Iraqi mothers whose children will be killed by American pilots]

No.

Making money. But I guess it was acceptable back when Saddam was everybody's friend. How long ago did the Germans build it ?

Shoddy German workmanship.
