Okay, does anyone else think this is a little odd...?

From news.bbc.co.uk:

0427: Pentagon confirms that Iraqi state television is off the air after the station was hit by precision-guided bomb and cruise missile. Denies reports that new, so-called "e-bomb" was used.

0719: UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon tells the BBC no direct attempt has been made to take Iraqi television off the air. He says the aim of overnight attacks had been to target Iraq's command and control facilities in Baghdad.

Pentagon says it used precision bombing to take the Iraqi state TV off the air, while the UK say that *no attempt* was made to do that very thing.

So, either the US precision bombs have no real kind of precision, in which case the argument that civilian casuialties will be minimal falls over because if the bombs don't hit what we aim at we can't possibly make that promise; or the USA and UK people are actually not in such good contact after all, and in that event how can we be sure that the correct locations of troops and their movements is being communicated so that we neutralise the risk of "friendly fire" incidents?

It's all very confusing.

On the positive side of things, at least the aid convoy into Iraq from the south has begun. Hopefully it will be allowed to get to where it's needed before the Allied Forces have a chance to mistake it for a column of enemy tanks and turn it into a barbecue.
