surge update = Children Hurt and Hospital Is Hit in Baghdad Clashes

first report, our missles were near the hospital...and they call them precision guided munitions....more like death bombs


BAGHDAD — The ugly daily fight for ground in the poor Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City unfolded Saturday at a small mosque next door to a hospital, damaging the hospital and all its ambulances, and near a group of children who were injured by the violence as they gathered tin cans to sell for salvage.

The first hit came after a night of clashes in the neighborhood, when the Americans fired at least three “precision-guided munitions” in the area of the Sadr General Hospital at 10 a.m. The target was a small building next door to the hospital that neighbors said was used as a rest house and place of prayer for hospital employees, pilgrims and neighborhood residents.

The sign at the iron gate at the entrance to the building said “Imam Hussein’s Resthouse.”
