		<description><![CDATA[From the Navy website:

Background: Operation Desert Storm revealed some shortcomings in air-to-surface weapon capability. Adverse weather conditions limited employment of precision guided munitions. Unguided weapon accuracy was also poor when the weapons were delivered from medium and high altitudes. Research and development of an &quot;adverse weather precision guided munition&quot; began in 1992. The first JDAMs were delivered in 1997 with operational testing conducted in 1998 and 1999. The more than 450 JDAMs dropped during testing had 95 percent system reliability and were accurate to within nine meters. JDAM also performed well in adverse weather testing, including clouds, rain and snow.

I&#039;m saying that he deserves very little credit for a plan that was made before he took office and went off without him having to do anything for it. The Air Force R&amp;D people and the civilian contractors who designed, tested, and developed the JDAM are the ones who deserve the credit.
