I am anti-war, marched on anti-war marches, Im sitting here watching the BBC and you see flashes, hear guns firing, hear bombs e.t.c it just hits you deep down. I'm just frustrated that we did not have a bigger say in this.

Anyways, I'm not really worried about his speech. Nobody can justify the killing of thousands of people. If 1% of the bombs are off target, that's 30 bombs that will go astray. Could your town handle 3 bombs let alone 30?

Keep us updated Joe. Ta.

Tell that to Saddam and he'll do to you what he did to the rest!

I have the BBC World Service on the radio...do any US news services have any reporters in Baghdad? Just wondering if what sort of news is getting thru there.

They did earlier today (CNN and NBC I have seen), but now we're just getting photo shots of Baghdad.

i think so... they are updating us on what's going on, but they aren't saying much.... they are just saying that Bush will give us more details in 2 minutes :S

EDIT: He's on

Your missing the point. If Bush and Blair has problems with Saddam, deal with it themselves, don't bring me into it. Don't bring the other millions of people into it. Bottom line is, don't bring the public into it. Nobody has the right to take my life, just like nobody has the right to take yours. The guilty should be punished, not the evil.

I have issues with George Bush, does that give me the right to go and commit something on the scale of 9/11? No.

What a dumb speech and what a dumb operation name. It definitely sounds like Bush made it up himself.

SKY PILOT
THE ANIMALS

He blesses the boys as they stand in life
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's here to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them it's all right
He knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mother and fathers back home they will cry.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given they move down the line
But hell stay behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good with god you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage
In the words that he's said.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
You're soldiers of god you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May god give you strength do your job really well
If it all was worth in only time it will tell.
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so it looks at the sky bright
Remember the words thou shalt not kill.

You know, if they happened to be successful with this "intelligence strike," where apparently the fighters and bombers changed course in the no fly zone to attack a target of oppurtunity. Imagine that, what would you say to that? One bombing of a military building and we find Hussein is dead...wow. That would be cool and then who could complain? I doubt it was him, but hey...

It is always worth it. When it comes down to it, they say, it's never about the politics or the country--it's about your brother next to you. It is worth it then. Screw politics.

Yeah, if it happened that quickly and easily, it would be great...even I would be ok with that. and we would wonder why it hasn't happened in the last 12 years...

I have had "Sky Pilot" for years it was only really popular in Oceania (Aust/NZ) but it sort of reminds me of GWB talking to the troops and once the troops return they ask "why did we kill all those people, why such a huge cost"

Beautiful song - A must download one
The Animals are for downloading songs so I can say it without getting into trouble.

Sky Pilot by The Animals ("House of the Rising Sun" Album i think).
