**KABLOW!!**

Reporter: I didn't quite hear that question, some interference in the background

Brokaw: Can you hear me now?

reporter: I still did not hear your question

he did that intentionally to undercut Brokaw

Why? They're thousands of miles away.

 

[rickn]

their AA fire is modest compared to 1998. I just hit the mute buttom, cuz the amount of BS you are going to hear could fill an outhouse

 

[yellowperil]

I guess now we can breathe a collective sigh of content because we get a piece of the action we've missed for 12 years. Mothing like being at a sports bar with all the TVs turned to CNN, people drinking beers and devising fantasy military strategies between a booth and a chicken wing.

They will carry cruise missiles close to the border, then will launch them towards targets...

a jdam can glide pretty far iirc

15 Mile range, too close...

Just heard it was a tomahawk cruise missile which striked near bagdhad at some Iraqi leaders. Not the beginning of the campaign but a target of opportunity. heard on fox news, quoted from us intelligence.

 

[gplanet]

cruise missile = $1 million each.

an expensive way to defeat Iraq

 

[Grasshopper27]

Once more unto the breech...

 

[LocutusX]

CNN is still claiming AA fire is still continuing, however the noises from the primary BaghdadCam sound like birds, buses, typical morning noises in any metropolis. (just heard cars beeping)

 

[ElFenix]

now i hear horns and trucks driving around

Not the start of the shock and awe, but the white house has confirmed that it's started.
