It seems to have begun. Go to this link: http://www.msnbc.com/m/mw/mw.asp?t=V&id=live_video/chan1&sk=live_video&pl=&name=cover&opt=0 and turn up your volume. You can hear what sounds like planes (who knows, maybe its missles) flying overhead, then you hear what sounds like bombs going off in the distance. This just began about 10 minutes ago, it has been totally quiet.

Peter Arnett/NBC: Could be explosions on south side of city.

Don't forget, Baghdad is about the size of Chicago.

[The Lake City Gar]

IT'S ON!!!!!! BOMBS ARE DROPING!!!

[Prince Charles]

CNN feed... lots of explosions in the distance in the lower right corner of screen.

[oyez]

Oh neat. Fireworks. Pop it off. There will be less for real targets..

[Porterville]

Just a flock of bats.

[mhking]

NBC/MSNBC: President expected shortly.

[tomkat]

[faithincowboys]

[freedumb2003]

MSNBC is hearing AA.

Pray for the civilians and the souls of the Iraqi soldiers who are about to meet Allah. Pray for our servicepeople.

Unleash the dogs of war in the name of peace!

[green team 1999]

nbc nightly news showing live,iraquis shooting to the air,no signs of the planes or cruise missiles yet

[Prince Charles]

Column of smoke visible in lower right corner of live shot on CNN.

[wimpycat]

LOoks like MSNBC's feed is closer to targets than Fox and CNN!

Jeez, my hands are shaking.

It's quieted down for the moment.

[green team 1999]

why the iraquis keep the city lights "on"?????

[tomkat]

[sonofatpatcher2]

FIX News says W will be on at 10:15 EST.

[mhking]

"Let's enjoy a great showtime!"

[Soul Citizen]

The Sound of Freedom!!

I recognize the stealth roar anywhere-unique and erie

[FrogMom]

Shep just said, "The war has begun."

They said "Everybody would know."

Doesn't look like it.

[coloradan]

Iraqi intelligence is just probing the FR network response time. How many threads and how quickly can they cause to be posted, if they just razz the sirens for a minute?

[tomkat]

oops, 2215

[lavrenti]

We're going in!

[linn37]

congrats to ari ,thats the best he has ever handled the press

[Anomaly in Illinois]

That was incredible!

Starting again.....war in realtime

[killjoy]

Does anyone know how to record the live streams off the computer?

[Lancey Howard]

I thought the opening salvo was supposed to be absolutely massive - - designed to stun everybody (and hopefully make somebody close to Saddam simply kill him and end the whole fiasco.)

[agrace]

This is messed up, watching a war on TV and on the internet.

[wimpycat]

They didn't just razz the sirens.

There were TWO rounds of BOMBS DROPPING!

It's quiet for the moment.

We're listening and watching MSNBC's webcam.

I can hear AAA in the distance. Sporadic.

[coloradan]

Arabian Automobile Association?

[wimpycat]

Just heard a car horn honk.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me ... didn't the WH say the President would speak from the Oval Office at the start of the war.

[kcvl]

Pres. Bush will speak at 10:15...

[FrogMom]

Hugs to all FReepers.

Join hands, pray for our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands and wives.

Lord bless them, their leaders, and their missions.

[Poser]

The news reports are that the US had some information about the possible location of some Iraqi leaders. These missles might have had a very limited target.

[wimpycat]

Anti-Aircraft Artillery. The tracer fire you see will be from AAA.

[Prince Charles]

"congrats to ari ,thats the best he has ever handled the press"

Yeppers! Helen Thomas didn't even have time to haul that big ass up out of her chair to diss Dubya!

[DarthFuzball]

Heard and saw the same thing here.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll tell you...my stomach is in absolute knots tonight.

Ugh.

[kcvl]

The war has begun according to Shep Smith on Fox News...Pres. Bush will tell us at 10:15 what is going on.

[wimpycat]

bump. Two rounds of bombs dropping somewhere and AAA fire in the distance.

[coloradan]

Ahhh, thanks. I thought it was just "AA" (anti aircraft) fire.
