"Early and fragmentary USAF poststrike analysis raised some questions about the performance of the F-111s. Even though all three targets had been successfully struck, only four of the 18 F-111s dropped successfully. Six were forced to abort due to aircraft difficulties or stringencies of the Rules of Engagement. Seven missed their targets and one was lost. There had been collateral damage, with one bomb landing near the French Embassy." IIRC, The one that "landed near" the French Embassy went through the front doors of the Embassy. Kind of a "Kiss our Red, White and Blue ass for being all pissy about flying over your country." Oops, our bad. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.
