Looks like the wind/sand has died down some. Not sure what time sunrise is though.

 

[Professur]

I'd heard on the radio at lunch eastern time that the B52s out of england were already airborne.

 

[unclehobart]

Italy is allowing airspace passage and base hopping through their territory.. but no origination of bombing missions. They just want to be a ferrying spot.

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

I bet Baghdad has a rather ominous feel tonight. I wonder how many are actually sleeping.

 

[Gonz]

Italy is allowing airspace passage

as is Turkey.

Well folks, he didn't leave...soon teh shouting shall commence...God help those involved (not bad for an atheist)

 

[unclehobart]

zero hour plus 10 minutes. F-117s should be all over the place by now.

 

[Professur]

Anyone else getting that creeping feeling up their spine right about now?

 

[Gonz]

Oh yea, this is why it's okay asthma & the Army don't mix.

 

[unclehobart]

Nothing on CNN so far. I figure the first signs would be akin to the start of the 91 war ... tons of AAA slinging hash all over Baghdad and a scud stud d'jour shitting his pants and reporting from the bathroom of the hotel.

 

[Gonz]

Was that Bernie (Shaw) or Peter Arnett? I seem to have forgotten.

 

[unclehobart]

Its been too long. I don't remember.

 

[Gonz]

Unless we want B-52's lumbering across the morning sky, tomorrow or Friday. More time for surrenders.

 

[Gonz]

but, then again...

 

[Professur]

Sonofabitch. Stealth fighter/bombers off a carrier. Sneaky bastard.

 

[Professur]

Now where the hell are those B52s that left England?

 

[Gonz]

Over Italy?

 

[A.B.Normal]

Over France

 

[unclehobart]

Turkey tried to get sneaky and deny overflights unless the original 26 billion dollar bailout package was approved that was denied over the ground troops. After several hours of rabid negotiations the Turkish Parlaiment relented ... detials of what was promised ... unknown.
