**OFFICIAL WAR THREAD** 7th Calvary fights off Iraqi attack; Bush seeks 75 billion for war

[ElFenix]

yep, just nerves right now.

 

[LongCoolMother]

they said its unlikely the US troops will strike in daylight. and the sun is rising already.

 

[rudeguy]

i think it was one of our spy planes or somethin...maybe a predator and the flipped

 

[LocutusX]

according to CNN, continuing AA fire, but nothing shown on the cameras

 

Wow...I guess this is it.

 

[ElFenix]

ooo you can hear it on cnn's audio feed right now and see it now on cnn

 

[FreshPrince]

they're saying most of 1st strike is in the dead of night...so this attack..if it is one, would be a surprise since it gives the night surprise away to day light since the sun is about to rise.

 

[everman]

Probably just for show because they can't see any planes, lol.

 

[NFS4]

You can see the AA fire in the sky now

 

[Aves]

Supposedly no bombs have fallen

 

[Pastfinder]

It's picking up on CNN. Stealth aircraft won't fly now, but cruise missiles do...

[ElFenix]

cnn has that ticker on the bottom and aother graphic covering 20% off the screen... annoying

 

[Grey]

[Eli]

you would think it's a strategic advantage to use stealth fighters to good use...

Can't really down a cruise missile with AA fire And any bombing by F117s would be at night. It's early morning there right now.

 

[Mallow]

how long will it take? A week?

Click on the live video - of course.

It's real video for the RV haters. don't bother telling me you won't use it, I don't care.

Ari Flescher is on. Saying the war has started. Bush to talk at 10:15 EST

He phrased it as the disarmament of Iraq instead of war.
