I dont believe this is true... They wouldnt risk using the B-52 while Iraq's air-defenses are still largely intact... Also, none of those aircrafts (B1, B2, B52 and F117A) fly from aircraft carriers...

It would be interesting seeing a B52 try and take off or land on an aircraft carrier.

The same guy just said 2 2000lb bunker bombs were also used and that the Pentagon is confirming that Saddam was the target. Could this be over already?

even so, the war goes on...to save face unfortunately...sigh higher taxes

As stated earlier in this thread, even if this strike did get Saddam (which I highly doubt), we wont know for certain until we actually go in there...

true...or Iraq military does not disclose this info...still sad

Yep, won't be satisfied til they produce a body. And not one of those Saddam clones; the real deal please. I'd prefer if they took him alive. And then killed him

Chiz

is it true we don't have his DNA? how would we verify?

I wanted to jump through my TV and strangle some Iraqi Repub Guard bastards when FOX showed the videos of them testing Chem and Bio weapons on dogs...the dogs looked alot like Beagles.

Stick his ass with 50 needles filled with various agents, and let him slowly die.

Geez! CNN.com is down and the army's site is also down

Nic Robertson (live) has just said that US forces have NOT actually taken out any radio stations, and he was able to hear the morning broadcast on them...

CNN

Iraqi radio: "Someone set us up the bomb!"

 

[LocutusX]

CNN *confirms* that more than 40 cruise missiles were fired at targets of opportunity in Iraq.

 

[icefire]

I was able to get on CNN.com...probably just slow and busy

As the U.S. military moved its forces into attack positions around Iraq, the American antiwar movement dusted off its own plans for D-Day ? plans that ranged from mass demonstrations and the blocking of key intersections to candlelight vigils and prayer meetings.

That makes me sick! People like that are just causing more troubles for our country. Freagin declare war on those asshats! I don't care if you have a different opinion and object to war but "massive civil disobediance" is just ridiculous~!

Dunno, which is why I'd prefer to have him taken alive. If they make it messy, we might never know, and then we'll hear about Saddam living out his days in Brazil. :|

We won't know for awhile. Days most likely.

 

[XeoBllaze]

Hey, I'm a proud Chrisitan American, and all I have to say is, "I hope Saddam knows what he got himself into!"... We all know of the stories of how he has killed his own people and what not.... Maybe we dont belong in Iraq at the moment pretending to be god. But I hope Saddam will be tried when he dies, and not by any american nor non-american country, but by God himself. As somone once said, "what comes around, goes around"! Have fun in HELL, Mr.SaddamPresedent!

 

[geekender]

Good luck to all who are overseas.

I've always wondered. Do you think that Bush comes out of those meetings and talks with his wife about war stuff?

Like over dinner: "Honey, it's goin' down tonight"

 

[Queasy]

Ari Fleischer just said no more information to be given until morning. Guess that means good night everyone.

That's my cue to go to bed myself. I'm sure I'll wake up in the morning to more fireworks.

*Official* Saddam himself, his two sons and a few other leaders were the targets. They were seen going into a bunker to hide. Using intellegence and drones to pinpoint the position. Bunker Busters were indeed used!!! At least two of the targets were hit directly.

FOX and NBC.

Again, why isn't this stickied???

 

[LocutusX]

I wonder how legit the FOX "Baghdad" reports are. It was previously reported that all FOX reporters were expelled from Iraq a week ago.
