Big bombs? In Baghdad? And there's smoke?

When did this start, and why wasn't I informed?

"A big, big, big cloud of smoke..."

Professional, factual reporting.

Next it'll be: "See bomb fall. Fall bomb fall! See bombs boom, boom bombs boom. Run Spot run!"

"big big big" cloud of smoke. Hows does this comepare to the earth shaking explosions?
Are bombs that produce big big big clouds of smoke less earth shaking?

If so, that suggests LESS colateral damage.

Lets use more bombs that produce big big big clouds of smoke, eye candy to reporters like Arnet, who by the way, is looking for a new job.
