This should be in breaking news so that all the various threads that are starting would all come here instead of starting a thread with one or 2 comments.

It's a good idea, AAE....but Mods probably need to referee. I suppose it should have been a part of their pre-war planning to establish such threads so as not to have to maintain hundreds of small similar ones.

Ollie keeps referring to them as "Scuds" but Major Garrett reporting from the Pentagon a little while ago said the Pentagon has confirmed it is NOT scuds but rather surface to surface and not as easy to shoot down as the scuds are because they have a lower arc to them whereas the scud has a much higher arc.

So far, I count:

Initial attacks on iraq,
several missile attacks against US forces in Kuwait
"Crop Duster"
etc...

Any other "news" yet?

Any confirmation on "SCUDS". If this is true, we need to start blasting this everywhere.

Kuwait said they were 3-tonne medium range missiles. It seems they are Scud, or Scud variants.

Reports of Kurds engaging Iraqi forces up north.

Reports of Iraqi forces setting fire to oil filled trenches.
