The Iraqis sure must'v eknown what was coming if they were militants firing upon American soldiers. On the other side of things, you do raise some valid concerns, though one could question whether the army reports can be fully trusted, seeing how such a kill score is unlikely at best. There are obviously two totally different sides to this story, and I'm not going to go with either at this time, until it is independantly confirmed whether it was an army hiccup or a heck of an army victory.
You are making a serious error if you are assuming that one bombing run can't take out 40 militants. It may not be the average, but it can be much much higher. You are standing on empty ground with that assumtion.
