Huge plumes of smoke are seen rising above buildings during air strikes on Baghdad March 21, 2003 in this frame grab taken from Abu Dhabi television footage. Explosions rocked Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's complex in central Baghdad on Friday, shaking the city with massive blasts. The air strike, the fiercest on the city yet seen in the U.S.-led war against Iraq, came after U.S. officials said they had launched a major air war in their effort to topple the Iraqi leader.

Thanks. We need pictures of 911 here on this thread - because these plumes of smoke will draw the sympathy of many who have already forgotten the horrors of that day.

Meanwhile, in Ecuador, more anti-American protests continue.

Ronald McDonald bites the Ecuadorian dust.

The bunker buster that hit about 1 PM EDT was worth the price of admission. As Gen. McInerny on FNC said, "I hope our good friend, Kim Il Jong, is watching this."

I was watching this live on Chilean television and the pictures don't do justice to the bombs as they appear on TV, and certainly the way they appear on TV is probably only a fraction of what they were like in situ.

truly a pretty impressive spectacle, but *STILL* not the 3000 bombs at once that were originally planned, maybe only a few hundred...
