Bush says war on Iraq has begun

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Wednesday American and British forces had launched the early stages of an attack on Iraq.

"These are the opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign," he said. "On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance...

"A campaign on the harsh terrain of a nation as large as California could be longer and more difficult than some predict," he told the American people in a televised address from the White House Oval Office.

Part of the address was clearly meant for consumption by Iran/NK, Kim Il take notes.

Bush says to world: "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you."

Who would have thought the "element of surprise" would be a daytime raid. Hit them when they ain't looking.

Laser guided missiles from stealth bombers. IMHO, someone sold someone out.

The Iranian people are getting ready for demonstrations to overthrow the Mullahs..
Reza Pahlavi was on Satellite Television broadcast into Millions of Homes into Iran telling them to get prepared to combat the Mullahs.

Thats good news then. I don't think the Iranians want MOABs in Tehran.

And since they are exploring nukes, the sooner they do it, the better. For them.
