On MNBC, they've started bombing. Some film is available. All electricity in Kabul was cut off throughout the city, reports saying that we cut the grid. Reports are that bombing in the city is primarily in the southeastern part where members of the Taliban are located.

Warnings are that, over here, expect retaliatory terrorist acts.

UPDATES: President Bush has confirmed onset of bombing. Online sites also have reports up now (CNN, MSNBC, etc.). Bush reiterated that anyone who is providing support to Ben Ladin does so at their own peril. Tomahawk cruise missles included. Terrorist camps also hit.

We are on alert - tighter security nationally.

President Bush said this is only the first night (night in Afghanistan) of a continued and sustained battle. First targets were aimed at the infrastructure of Kabul.

Taliban diplomat in Pakistan has stated, "We are now read for jihad (war)."

ABC now showing El-Qaeda's and Bin Laden's pre-taped statememt. U.S. people responsible because they support the government who supports their enemies. He's predicting the fall of the U.S. The world is now divided into two camps - the U.S. and its allies and them. He then stated: "No one in the U.S. will feel safe until the people of Palestine feel safe."

<< on cnn, it looked similar to gulf war >>



Yea, I was thinking the same thing...

But there are not many targets to hit in Afhanistain...

Perhaps this is just a dervision for the specops troops...

Commence the Killing Boxes!

(Did anyone see the discovery channel documentary on the Gulf War?)
 

It's on. Wow, another war. Unreal. Let's hope they have good intelligence to get Bin Laden alive.

It would be better if they got Binny and made him disappear, ala Jimmy Holfa... They could put his body into the cement mix that will form whatever building takes the place of the WTC...

Neumann-
Not creative enough- I'd suggest wrapping his corpse in a hog leather shroud, then dumping it in the sewage system of whatever replaces the WTC- That way, every time some "does their business", they do it on his grave....
 

That would suck if they just killed Bin Laden with bombs. You will never know if he is dead or not. They need to capture him and tourture him and stuff.

Hitler didn't die with a bomb and we know he's dead.

While I agree with you emotionally... Killing him creates a martyr. Catching him, trying him, and killing him shows him for the criminal he is.

Also, no matter how much proof we have that he was killed in an attack, without an identifiable body, he becomes a legend instead of a dead terrorist criminal.

And for decades there have been rumors that he wasn't dead.
