looking good....I wonder when the next wave will start?
The E bomb is a bomb that will take out thier electrical grid and communications...

I want to see the MOAB dropped... When do we get the missle cam pictures? I remember in 91 everday they would show missles flying into bunkers.

if we drop the moab that would be a last ditch attempt, and i hope it does not come to that. I don't think its fair to punish thousands of innocent citizens for one man's ego crisis. lets hope they keep the damage to a minimum

They already said the MOAB will only be dropped outside the city as a scare factor, they do not want civilian casualties. Its not like they will drop it in the heart of Baghdad. If they do, we will know b/c there will probably be a power flicker all the way over here Shocked

They were dropping hella JDAM's though, that footage is some of the most intense stuff I have ever seen. Now we will see if the 'shock and awe' tactic works and forces the Iraqi army to say "sorry about the return fire back there, now exactly what do you want us to do again?'

..that is all explosions from military bases and control centers in the military compound right outside the city of Baghdad, they said they are NOT hitting targets in the city unless there is a very legitimate and confirmed target.

i saw vid during the daylight hours of actually in the city of baghdad (sp?) and those explosions do look hella savage, but the damage they showed today wasn't too bad. yeh it was bad, but nothing like you'd expect from those shots. i also saw footage of the MOAB being dropped yesterday (not in iraq) and that thing doesn't look like its as big as everyone says it is. but i'm guessin the camera was at least a km away from where it was dropped. but hey, a 21000 pound has to do some damage right???

These attacks are precise. I mean the water and electricity are still working so we aren't taking out the infrastructure.
