It’s not just you, Metalhead. I was noticing that too.
35 countries in the coalition - I wasn’t aware. Well, it’s on; let’s hope it goes well.
Well, yeah, I don’t think half-measures are called for, either.
Cnn is saying that the first shot was aimed at Hussein himself, at the location where we believed him to be located. What a magnificent opening move. Gotta give Bush points for that, way to send a message!
Yep. We’re shooting.
Damn.
May Deity bless and keep all soldiers and civilians involved in this.

Iraqi radio is off the air, replaced by an American broadcast, saying liberation has begun. What a comfort, I’m sure.
There are also extracts from Bush’s speech available.
Odd how CNN.com seems so far behind Australian news sources. 
Iraq TV is showing patriotic film clips and such.
Watching on SBS here in Australia…
Damn, you must have a killer cable package. I don’t even get the Spanish channel here!
They’re mentioning all that on the network news broadcasts here.
It would be a bit cooler if I spoke Arabic.
Confirmed by the U.S. military: several dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched at targets of opportunity from F-117s. The massive and overwhelming airstrikes are yet to come. 15 coalition nations continue to request anonymity.
Tomahawks from F-117s?
Tomahawks from ships in the Gulf and the Red Sea. The F-117’s were reported to be carrying “2000 pound bombs”. I’d guess JDAM’s but that wasn’t specified in the report I heard.
Speaking of which, anybody know what “Al Anbar” means? I’m looking at this map, and it looks like the area labeled Al Anbar has no cities whatsoever. Is that part just a big desert or what? A google search wasn’t helpful, but I did see where they once had a satellite/rocket launching gantry there. That’s a scary thought.
Fox news just relayed a report from Reuters that there’s artillery fire on the Iraq/Kuwait border.
Okay, so Saddam Hussain is making a speech.
After “unjust people driven by the Zionists” I lost interest.
He’s a total headcase.
Ditto, WTF???
We may be good friends with Israel, but we are so NOT driven by them. If anything, we’re driven by the crazy Muslims (not all Muslims are crazy, I’m talking about the terrorists) who keep crashing planes on us and threatening to kill us.
But in honor of our Zionist brothers, let me take this chance to call Saddam a :wally
