MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, United States (CNN) -- Coalition aircraft have again bombed military sites in southern and western Iraq, the third straight day allied jets have struck targets between Baghdad and Iraq's border with Jordan, according to the U.S. Central Command.

Other leaflets warned Iraqi troops against using chemical or biological weapons against coalition troops.

This is where Baghdad's French allies could be really useful, teaching them how not to use their weapons and all.

Officials said as many as 750 missions a day are now being flown by all types of aircraft........

That is a lot of missions for so-called "peacetime". Could the air war be under way already?

Several of us have said that exact thing.

"Could the air war be under way already?"

Methinks the countdown has come and went.

Other threads are saying Iraqi soldiers have begun surrendering only to be sent back after being told war had not yet begun! (This happened Saturday and Sunday.)

Something doesn't compute

Iraq has to know these pinprick type assaults on the USA only result in losing their equipment

Can't figure this out

I know, they keep moving equipment and weapons (which they don't have) into the no fly zones, we keep taking them out. Soon, they'll have nothing left to move?!?
