Not the start of the shock and awe, but the white house has confirmed that it's started.
Good. Let's hope the momentum stays that way for at least a few days.

Please. Please. Please turn it to CNN, msnbc, fox, etc. and watch it live. This IS history in the making.

Yes, it is...

You know that and I know that... I think some of the younger people on these forums don't understand.

I was a teenager during the first Gulf War and I didn't understand it at the time either.

Watch, this is indeed history, you will remember the first war of the 21st Century for the rest of your lives. This is even bigger than the Gulf War, this time, we will liberate Iraq!

Apparently we took their state radio off the air and then we began broadcasting on that same frequency.


Owned!
