#1 Jeezz, I was watching as what seems to be at least 6 explosions went off at once on what is reported as Sammy's main palace. Another six went in later. Flames coming up. It's gone!!!

#2 Looks like a time on target shoot. Many hits same time. Large explosions rasing clouds into sky. Might have been JDAMS instead of cruise missile.

#3 Does this mean that Daschle is about to launch his counterstrike- the "Ashame and Sadden" strategy.

#4 I've just blogged up why I think Baghdad will fall by Monday night.

Mostly, it's because I think Shock and Awe were never intended to start the war, but were rather intended to end the war. The Pentagon started the troops rolling to have them reach Baghdad just as the bombardment lifted, in order to scoop up the survivors, and take advantage of the Shock and the Awe.

Look for it to be over soon.

#5 It is some big boom stuff, but the power never goes off, so we will keep the people happy if we can keep the damage to the military areas that I bet most Bagdidies never go near anyway. Keep the lights on and the Toilets flushing, guys.

Minute by minute blogging at
Blogs of War
