Another loud explosion......and another attack is coming in..

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Nic Robertson said more than once that the first big explosion was a "leadership" target, and mentioned something about Tariq Aziz ...

In Desert STorm, we hit infrastructure. This looks like we're going after Saddam and his evil-doers.

[Mo1]

Britt is saying that when it really starts we WILL know it and this ain't it

[PhiKapMom]

They are now going after the Baghdad airport. every 15 minutes the bombs come in waves.

Pentagon: "Shock and AWe" campaign begins over Baghdad!

[Tree of Liberty]

Some SAM sites taken out.

[The Wizard]

dig this, Bret Bear just said that is prep......you will be able to tell when it happens

[Cboldt]

Mumble Brokaw's commentary grates on my nerves. Things like " now back to the original plan of shock and awe" has a taint of accusation toward the prosecution of the war so far (i.e., they tried an opportunity tarhget, but now they're back to Plan A). I admit, I'm an very biased against Brokaw, and probably reading something into his comment that isn't there.

[Peach]

This isn't it? What are we going to see when it is it? Mushroom clouds?

[section9]

Hmmm. Tomahawks, eh?

Looks like it's Navy 7, Air Force 3 at the end of the First Quarter.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
