How did the bombing have an effect? You can't aim a bomb at just soldiers in this war. Do you think the Iraqi's are wearing uniforms around stockpiles of guns saying "hey bomb me!" I don't think anyone would be that dumb... The bombs are just to make the USA feel important -- like they are actually accomplishing something... Every time CNN gets onto a stale subject where obviously the USA is looking bad in the world press -- they cut in the footage with bomb noises and all of a sudden we are just listening and watching bombs drop but who really cares? They tell us Saddam is hiding underground -- like under churches and hospitals like 300 feet underground... Seriously what the hell are they accomplishing with these bombs I'd like to know -- the whole "shock and awe" is just that -- a lot of hype but nobody actually dies and the Iraqi's still have their weapons hidden safely all over the city... I'm no military expert -- this is just the common sense way to defend any city... I don't even have to watch CNN to know what will happen. Team USA will move in, lots of soldiers will die -- lots of civilians will die -- and it will go on and on for months and months... Even if Saddam is dead -- nobody will know or care... For all we know, the Iraqi army won't even attack until the USA has claimed victory! I can see the first Iraqi Starbucks getting blown to pieces the first day it's opened... You think Americans are scared of terror? Just wait until Americans try to set up shop in Iraq 
You will be ordering Bigmac's through a bomb blast shield!!! Too funny!

This time the ground forces went in with 24 hours of the first bombing. They raced and succeeded in capturing some crucial bridges that will be needed.

Seriously man who cares about bridges? Even if you search everyone crossing the bridge -- that doesn't mean shit -- the guns/weapons are already hidden throughout the city... No Iraqi's will be walking around with guns! They don't need to! You can't babysit the entire fucking population... How will you search an entire city for weapons? Just not possible...
The fact remains -- USA is the enemy to many Iraqi's -- and always will be -- liberation is laughable. And you can't prove me wrong unless you can read the mind of man, woman and child in Iraq!
