Even most morons could figure out ...

That using air power to crush an insurgency is an idea that backfires and creates more insurgents than it eliminates.

How fortunate then are we, that our government is blessed with exceptional morons?

A U.S. air strike killed 14 members of one family in the town of Baiji in northern Iraq, an Iraqi security force spokesman said on Tuesday.

The air raid destroyed one house, killing the 14 people inside, said the spokesman for the Joint Coordination Center, which handles information and liaises between U.S. and Iraqi forces.

Another four houses were hit and three people were injured in the raid on Monday night, he said.

"We have this information from the Iraqi police and army in Baiji," the spokesman said.

The U.S. military had no immediate comment.

Ugh.
