I just read that we started bombing Iraq's artillery units that are within range of our soldiers in Kuwait.

Yeah, they were close enough to deliver artillery shells with chemical warheads.I guess it's better safe than sorry.

I also read that 7 Iraqi soldiers surrendered already. I ope that becomes a trend. You know, I think the French might have some competition.....j/k.

I can't share crazy mike's appetite for destruction - but I hope for a quick victory.

I also hope that most Iraqis don't fight and that our military folks that are in harms way come home healthy and whole.

Hey, Walkindude
Nobody is more of a right wing hawk than me.During Gulf war 1 most of the front line infantrymen in the Iraqi Army were kept at their posts because there were minefields BEHIND them.I have a problem with wholesale slaughter of a bunch of poor saps that were probably dragged to the front kicking and screaming, then kept at their posts under the threat of being shot.

If they had some balls they'd turn their weapons on those that put them in that situation.

The US has been distributing leaflets all day today urging capitulation, not surrender.If they surrender, under the Geneva Convention, we have to take custody of them, and provide for their well being.Under capitulation, they drop their weapons, leave their armored vehicles where they are, and return to their bases and barracks.Officers are allowed to keep their sidearms, and retain control of their men.

That sounds pretty humane untill one of those #&%!$s drives a plane into another building.

When it comes to the people who drove those planes into those towers i say KILL ALL OF THEM!!! A good friend of mine died there. My cousin was there in 2001 and 1993.

I'll bet you most of these guys on the Front Lines in Iraq have never seen toilet paper, or a newspaper for that matter.

maybe, instead of dropping leaflets on how to surrener, we should just call in French Paratroopers.

"Let the bombing begin."

Isn't that what Reagan said as a joke when he first got into office? Didn't the then Soviets respond very badly? I was nine at the time, so I barely remember this. I was wondering if any of you old farts out there remember.

Two platoon and a division of armor vehicles (supposedly 15,000 men) from northwest Iraq have surrendered to Americans in Kuwait. Don't know if this is true...heard about it around 11:30pm EST.

I don't feel one bit ashamed about what the USA is going to be doing to those jerks.
When it comes down to it, Saddam has a lot more blood on his hands than we ever will. That Bastard.

What walkindude said. I'd rather strike first and lessen the chance of another terrorist strike on US soil.

I hope the deaths of Iraqi civilians is absoulutely minimal and we establish a democracy under which they can flourish but as for Saddam and his cronies, I'll sum it up with these lyrics from Mr. Bungle:

May your sun blow out just like a candle,
May your sea burn like tar,
May your sky roll up just like a scroll,
May your blue moon drip with blood.

GO USA!!!!!!

I was hoping that last nights bombing attack was all that would be needed, but, alas, it looks as if Hussien made it out alive.

war is not a friggin' spectator sport. did we like being bombed on 9/11??? how do you think the iraqi people feel???? try putting yourself in their shoes.

i'm neither for or against this war, i pray for our troops. i hope hussein is eliminated. but a level of compassion is required. many iraqis may end up hating the US, and wouldn't they have a reason?

i know bush is sincere about avoiding civilian casualities, the american people need to realize the same by putting ourselves in the iraqis' position.

Some people want PAYBACK and they don't care if it isn't the people who commited the original crime. That's a small detail that can be overlooked.

Did you see the reaction here after 9-11? Some of these sterling characters wanted to fry every man women and child in Afghanistan.

At first I thought people were just in shock and the bloodlust would die down. It did, for a while. But here it is again.

Well put, jmitch. Target is Sad Sack Insane, not the Iraqi people who have been under his sword for too long.

I dont think its should be about Payback. It should be about Justice. I just know that I have a 9 year old nefew that I dont want fighting this same war in 10 years. Our generation needs to solve this problem of terrorism now. If we dont, it will just keep coming back. I hope no innocents die, but if we dont do this now, I hate to think of the thousands that will die in the future. I rather go to war then leave that burden on our kids. I kinda look at it like getting a shot. I hurts, but the medicine you get from it cures a disease. I think we need to deal with the mess now before it gets worse.

I agree Dare. Just don't like the "kill them all" attitude, but it's a free country.
