Thanks Dee. I really wasn't quite sure. It does make sense.. like carpets cover everything, right?
I thought that was how most US bombing went?
I vaguely recall seeing footage of film shot by Hollywood during WWII.. stuff that actually passed the US census(most didn't which I think surprised Hollywood?) of some towns in Italy beofre during and after the US liberated them from the Nazis, Not much left.
So I guess its not only Bush there, I guess.
Then show of strength in Iraq I watched was fairly "carpetting" of an area?? I guess that would be carpet bombing?
