How do you define 'when the attack begins'?

The first missile? When it hits Baghdad or when it is fired?

When the first bomb dropped or the time the bomber takes off?

If any of the military currently in the region are part of the attack, then the attack has already begun.

How do you define 'when the attack begins'?

I'm assuming that President Bush will announce the official time when he addresses the nation to say that the attack has begun.

It should be when the first target is blown up.

Based on how GW operates, it should be very clear. GW will be on the air stating that the war has started. He was also very clear that it was to start at a specific time, like he did in Afghanstan. It IMHO be when GW said that it was to "start"

That man knows how to run a country and a military operation. I bet that the operation commanders love to work under his direction over the bent one's operatives.
