Warplanes from a US-British coalition patrolling the skies over southern Iraq bombed an Iraqi command and control centre after it was moved into a no-fly zone, the US military announced.

"The facility's presence in the no-fly zone was a threat to coalition aircraft," the Central Command said in a statement.

The centre was located near the city Al Kut, 152 kilometres southeast of Baghdad.

Damage assessment was under way and it was not immediately clear whether precision-guided bombs destroyed the target.

It was the first coalition strike on an Iraqi ground target since January 26, when allied warplanes hit unmanned cable repeater sites between Al Kut and An Nasiriyah.

Let's Roll!

Yes, Let's

[MJY1288]

It's time to ignore "Old Europe" and take care of business. Saddam has ignored the cease fire agreement back in 1991 long enough and we owe to those who lost their lives in the Gulf War to remove this tyrant from power and liberate the Iraqi people.

"Time to Roll"

[Carry_Okie]

Let's see... Russert will have Kofi-baby on Press the Meat in the AM calling for a cease fire long enough for the French and Germans to get their 1000 hostages, er, troops in there so that they can keep their cover and get oil converted to euros.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Their leader is stuck in Italy about to be deported back to the US (we really don't want him back!!!!!!), and the rest of them are wondering why they weren't told they would be checked for HIV at the Iraqi border!

Peaceniks fall out on human shield mission (HOLD MUH BEER!)

[Indy Pendance]

Thanks for the link, maybe the pink ladies can stop them.

[maranatha]

Excellent. I would like to see that terrorist training camp they've identified in Northern Iraq blown up. Why not?

[Colonel Jim]

LOL!

[goodseedhomeschool]

I was sooooo looking forward to seeing the human shields go BOOM!!!

[Colonel Jim]

We are on the Break of the Edge. Let's ROLL!

[Indy Pendance]

I just read that thread! What a hoot. I haven't laughed that much in a long time and still wiping my eyes. Thanks for pointing me there.

[Blue Scourge]

Hmm, well, thats one less we will have to take out when the real deal begins. Think anyone would be mad if we dropped one on oh say Paris?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Goodness! Don't drop a bomb on Paris. The Frogs love a good surrender, and one bomb is more than enough to get it. We don't make enough cheese to feed them, nor do we have enough deodorant to deodorize them.
