Will all due respect. I know an important mission is going on over there, but FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

The US military brags about sophisticated high-res satellites, high-tech recon, precision-guided munitions and all that lot, and this couldn't be prevented? Aren't the targets identified in the pre-mission briefings?

That plane probably hadn't flown for nearly 40 years and it couldn't have been made airworthy to carry WMD--period. And then some trigger-happy jet jockeys blow up a piece of history like they are in a video game.
