"A-Day"

[JiJoMacLE45]

I'm watching the attack on Baghdad, what an incredible display of fire power and this is not as intense as it was originally planned. It look likes the entire city is on fire.

Let this be a harbinger to those who threaten our freedom that we can bring the wrath of hell down upon them.

And to the brave men and women who are fighting and have died, God bless and you are in our prayers.

Yeah it's pretty crazy.. This was from foxnews:


Defense officials told Fox News that Friday is "The Day" -- the beginning of the end for Saddam Hussein -- and that as many as 3,000 precision-guided bombs will be dropped on specific targets in Baghdad.

Included in the arsenal is the awesome Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, Fox News has learned. The 21,000-pound MOAB has been nicknamed the Mother of All Bombs.

Seeing as how a MOAB would probably incinerate a whole city block, I wonder if they're going to drop this on Baghdad or only the outside strategic assets...

This has been going on for about 30 minutes and is unlike anything I have ever seen.

There have been mini-mushroom clouds going up. Some of those explosions were to large to have been cruise missiles. Maybe a MOAB?

SECDEF Rumsfeld will be on in about 5 minutes.

If they use the MOAB it will be against a large formation of the Republican Guard units outside Baghdad.Although I would like to see a whole city block incinerated that oh by the way,had all those anti-war protestors staying there.

[Zoomie]

No, the MOAB hasn't been unleashed yet. When it does, oh we'll know it for sure! I hope they do use to show that we are serious.

I find it funny that the Iraqi's booted out CNN for showing too much propaganda, yet Al-Jazeera pictured above is showing the total destruction of Baghdad... blah...
