I wonder what "replaced" is a euphemism for in this case.

As I've said in comments before, some Iraqi AA battery needs a refresher course in setting fuses on their ordnance. Unfortunately, this may mean they'll get one.

A B-52 pilot interviewed said he was shot at by a surface-air missle. He said it was his first time ever to be shot at by the bag guys (his words). He said a nearby fighter jet jammed the missle's radar and it FELL BACK TO BAGHDAD. I'm wondering why this isn't being more reported. It's confirmation of an Iraqi missle falling back on Baghdad. I can't remember which network the interview was on. Too bad the reporter could make the connection.

Yet another piece of evidence that is good news for the coalition. If only there was a truly reliable source of information out there somewhere.

BobbyV, we probably don't want to use the media to point out the Iraq defense weaknesses, as they will always try to exploit ours. So if they don't know "why" their anti-air defence dosen't work, they can't work out a solution to it.

If they did replace him, they're idiots. Those casualties did the Iraqi regime more good in the court of World ( especially Arab ) opinion than anything else they've done.
From the looks of the damage, I would have said that a SA-2 GUIDELINE (Surface to Air Missile) was probably the cause in each case. There just isn't a big enough crater or enough damage around the impact. And (thankfully) nowhere near as many casualties as I'd expect.
BUT... that may be just wishful thinking on my part, trying to avoid thinking that "our guys" were responsible. I'm no BDA (Bomb Damage Assessment) expert.
If - or more probably, when - one of our 454kg laser-guided bombs doesn't lase, and does fuse (ie go off), if it hits anywhere near civilians there'll be a lot more than 50 dead, alas. If it's a 2000 pounder, even more.

The Iraqi is probably being replaced because he didn't kill enough of his own people.
