We knocked out power in Kabul and are bombing targets in it and in Kandalhar (sp?). Targets are primarily Taliban targets. They are being quiet about other forces in Afghanistan.

[Sweeper]

We gave them enough time to turn him over....well, they never did. President will be speaking shortly. Looking forward to what he has to say.

[Pshawn5]

hopefully now the taliban will take our stance a little more seriously.

[jad1097]

"The demands were not met and now the taliban will pay."

"As we strike military targets will will also drop food for civilains."

Taliban confirmed hits on two command centers.

[GroundZero3]

Bravo, President Bush!

One of our good friends, Tony Blair of the UK, is about to speak shortly.

Thanks to all our allies! We value your support and friendship. to the good of us all.

[Fingers]

This is similar to the first strikes against Iraq. We are taking out some of the Taliban's ability to wage war and defend themselves. It's expected to continue for several hours... probably atleast until dawn.

[Graham]

Here we go, here we go, here we go.


Confirmation from Bush and Blair, US and UK troops involved.
Lets hope they get the b******ds, and not the long suffering civilians.

[Pshawn5]

hrmm i heard something about iraq getting hit too? they said it really quickly,so maybe they were talking about it's similar to the gulf war or something, i was distracted....anyone know if that's true?

[club_med]

Im sadly amazed at what humanity can do to each other.

Throughout our history we have proven again and again that despite our technology, development, cultures, religions even education and sophistication, we are nothing more than animals when it comes to our interests.

Note: (For those of you with the unfortunate gift of reading between the lines) This neither for nor against the current events.

[Makaveli]

Ready to go? Lets roll....

[JohnE.]

Bombs away!! Die Osama Die!!


Been patiently waiting for this since 9/11

[socalgal]

Bravo, Tony Blair!

Ahhhhhh........... Let's out a breath of relief. :) But yet wonders if this will trigger more terrorist attacks. Let's have faith in our defenses here in the states and allied countries that nothing will get through us or them.

Heya pickel. Long time no talk.

[reddog4629]

Good show Bush/Blair.
Gonna be a long night.

[socalgal]

They're showing a pre-recording of Bin Laden giving a speech.

Murderer. Liar. Blasphemer, Terrrorist.

I hope we killl this b@st@rd very, very soon

[Pshawn5]

umm did anyone watch that bin laden speech? didn't he admit he did the bombing?!?!? TALIBAN WHAT MORE DO U NEED?!?!?! there's your proof he admiited it!!
i hope he dies a slow painful death!!!! and no paradise for you!

[daveleau]

That was not a Taliban msg like the journalists initially said. This was a pre-taped speach by the Al'Qaede (sp?) . The three were highly placed reps of the terrorist group. bin Laden was in the middle.

We need to get these murderers.

[jad1097]

Bush's speech (http://www.romulus2.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002505.html) for those that may not have seen it.

[japerritt]

It drives me nuts to here them saying this Is a Jihad.
This has nothing to do with religion.
I'm in the back woods of Ga and I feel no anger towards any Muslims. I think most feel like me.
I think Taliban doesnt have a leg to stand on so they are doing whatever they have to do to recruit some people.

[club_med]

Its good to see that some people have brains and are not afraid to use them!

I can only commend people with your intelligent views.

[daveleau]

Yes the only ones that are trying to draw all of Islam into this is the Taliban. That is the only way they will last more than 2 seconds against us. Arabs are not to blame. Nor are Islamic people. Just a small non-representative sample of these groups is responsible and needs to be punished.

[japerritt]

Club Med. Thanks for your compliments, although I think I'm just one of a majority. I know that there are many ignorant Americans out there that are commiting crimes against innocent US Citizens. Those "Americans" should be treated as terrorist.

[Fingers]

ABC newsman reports seeing a white flash from a huge explosion in northern Afghanistan, followed by red flashes of anti-aircraft fire shooting into the sky, then another huge explosion directly where the anti-aircraft fire HAD been coming from...

... also Taleban reports of a downed Allied plane are being denied by the Pentagon...

[Warthog]

Tony Blair kicks.

I feel like America and Britain have an undieing amount of solidarity between us now.

To my UK brethren - rock on:D
