Judging by the number of replies, a sticky isn't going to be necessary. :Q

I am hoping it will cut out on the reposts:eek:

BTW, there may be a reason for attacking right now (near daylight). The AA gunners (and everybody else in Iraq) have been awake and on edge all night. Right now, they're living off caffeine, sugar, and raw nerves.

Do you people that say we will not bomb in daylight not understand.

B52s and ships with cruise missles WILL be no where near Iraq. We will be using said things to bomb Iraq during the daylight, with other bombers bombing at night.

You also have to know they have said air, land, and seas attacks will be happening AT THE SAME TIME.

I hope President Bush speaks with some emotion tonight.

Any predictions on how long the 24 hour coverage goes on for? War is war, but I want to see March Madness :)

how do you hit a moving target with a cruise missle?

i wonder if one of saddam's security peeps said where he'd be when and we lobbed a missle that way?

Yeah, but if the U.S. can kick up enough dust, the Iraqis won't be able to tell whether it's day or night. ;)

It doesn?t make any sense to me. The b52 f117 the stealth bomber is designed to fly at night. Its day time they are fully visible why would they attack now??
