No worries, I didn't take it as such.

well this post certainly had a smidge of intellegence to it compared to:

treating prisoners like dogs makes you look like a bunch of retards who have lowered there standards to the level of the NAZI's used in WW2.....

sorry but I will get high and mighty when you referr to the uniform I were to s Nazi's.  I serve and still do....that gives me the right to correct an injustice.

Out of 300,000+ serviceman that served in Iraq  less than .005%

centering yourself on this subject is also a step backwords.....the horse is dead....burry it and put it in the ground.

Actually most damage to Iraq's electrical infrastucture was done during the Gulf War by the US strategic bombing campaign.

"The strategic air campaign included attacks on two traditional strategic targets, electric power and oil production facilities. On these targets planners sought only specific, limited damage, and the use of precision weapons brought rapid, decisive results. Within the first few days of the campaign, electric power was lost throughout the country, with only roughly 12 percent capacity remaining in remote areas. Similarly, oil-refining capacity was diminished to roughly ten percent capacity through the employment of only a few PGMs on the petroleum distillation towers. Such results dwarfed the accomplishments of any past bombing campaign against a like set of targets and demonstrated how precision weapons had changed the calculus of what bombing could accomplish against a country's infrastructure."
