Or so they say.
A senior U.S. official said the escalation of the aerial campaign might not be as intense as originally planned because U.S. surrender talks with senior Iraqi officials were continuing.
I guess we'll see soon enough.

Shocking to watch ... but not as much as witnessing a commercial jet slam into WTC.
