Actually..It's a "titanium bathtub" that enveloped the pilot seat...not the botto of the plane...

[steveegg]

12 hits will do that to it.

[Semper Paratus]

Says they are taking out whole buildings at once!

Petaaahhhh says the Cent Command has said repeatedly that Al Rashid was not a safe place to be.

I heard that during Gulf War I, this was where Saddams main bunker was. He new we wouldn't bomb CNN.

Times have changed.

Isn't it astonishing that armies were able to fight wars prior to television and the internet? How did they ever do it without us?

[B4Ranch]

I bet you that everyone of those people who isn't dead needs a change of clothing. Those 2000 pounders shake the whole city.

[tomkat]

[CheneyChick]

Pour me one too. Make it a bloody mary (spicy) - its only 10am here. Thanks!

[Petronski]

Five thousand pound burrowing bunker buster bombs.

[hawkaw]

Is Sky's Internet Video up again?

[RummyChick]

imagine people in london living with bombing for months ..of course it wasn't a bad as these kinds of bombs but still bombing

i wonder if rumsfeld is going to give his press conference

[floriduh voter]

And this is just the beginning. How many palaces does saddam have? My cats have left the home office. They want no part of this televised, history making event.
