Funny how those cameras that were placed in city never had any good footage, yet the air campaign was 24/7.

Are you related to the Iraqi minister of information?
I saw and heard explosions almost every night I watched TV - and I watched a lot. I say "and heard" because I noticed you can't see the explosions that occur BEHIND the hotel ;-)
On the flat-ocean, one can see about 24 km due to the curvature of the Earth. It's considerably less in a city. It looked to me like one could see something like 10km maybe. Iraq contains 437,072 sq km of land and water.
Considering the rather swift run through the vaunted Elite Republican Guard, I'd say most of the munitions were dropped on them - something you can't see from an Al Jazeera camera mounted at the Palestine Hotel no matter how hard you squint.
"24/7" doesn't truly mean continuous. 7/11 is open 24 hours per day but often at 4am the clerk is just sitting around by himself checking out the latest issue of Playboy getting horny enough to hit on the ate-up 18 years olds on their way home that couldn't hook up even at a rave.
