More than 2000 precision bombs used against Iraq

US aircraft have dropped more than 2,000 precision-guided bombs on Iraq since the start of the war, a feat made possible partly because the “smart” bombs are now produced for a relatively cheap $19,000 each.

The targets have ranged from military buildings and palaces inside Baghdad - including a bunker believed to hold Iraqi President Saddam Hussein – to the key Republican Guard troops now defending the capital.
