#2 An unlikely explanation has been issued by the U.S. Military. Investigation of explosions in Baghdad must be like documenting every explosion in a very large fireworks display.

#3 It may not be so unlikely. Natural gas leaks and explosions are not unheard of even where infrastructure is well-maintained. Of course, sometimes natural gas explosions in Baghdad are 'on purpose' - the terrorists soup up their car bombs with propane bottles.
Still, if we say there weren't rockets, we either had a reason to say it, or there really weren't rockets. What might be a reason to lie, if that's what it was? It's not like these guys are pathologic liars (like some politicians we know.)
