EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 OK. So...it has started. To tell you the truth, I'm kinda just...well, unaffected. The 5 o'clock PST deadline passed, and I'm just sitting around watchin TV, still. Not watching the news, of course. You guys, after all the anxiety, with the war actually started...anything different? You feel more anxious now? I'm just waiting for that day in the next three weeks when they say that Baghdad is done for and Sadaam is done for. That's all that's changed for me.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted March 20, 2003 I will be honest, and say that I am about as anxious right now, than I ever have been in my entire life. I feel like we are about to watch a true world-altering event fold out before our eyes, for better or for worse. I am personally consumed by this, and truly do pray, wish, and hope for everything to go as smoothly as possible. I must say however, that I am a little uneasy, something just doesn't "feel right" to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Apparently the Iraqi soldiers just tried to surrender to Kuwatis. Nothing has started, so they were told to go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Was watching MSNBC because Fox was playing Oreilly (eew, I'll never watch that blowhard again) and CNN was playing Connie Chung. Then rain moved into our area and killed the DirecTV signal So now I'm just waiting for useful news to begin on either Fox (not likely for a few hours yet) or CNN, as I can listen to audio-only feeds of those stations on my XM Radio. However, until then, it's a good dose of XM's 90s and MIX channel. Oddly, XM Radio is also satelite-based, but is not affected by rains or storms. Rock on.

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Well, it was crazy watching the live shots of Baghdad. Imagine all of a sudden.....WHAM! BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Well, 6PM finally came and CNN went to Larry King... Ugh. Fox is playing Hannity & Beatdown Victim, which is no better. So my choices are Sam Donaldson on ABC News & Talk, or war updates on BBC World Service. I went with the Beeb. At least I have a truckload of news channels.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted March 20, 2003 They're expecting 2 attacks against "leadership figures" in Bagdhad with F-117 stealth fighters, B-52's and cruise missles Yep, this is a cruise missle attack, not the full blown start of the war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Air raid sirens are going off over Baghdad and there are flashes in the dawn sky there. ... That's all I can say. That statement, along with the perfect wording, just gave me chills. This is surreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted March 20, 2003 You guys act like you've never seen a war on TV before. I fear for the American & allied troops too, but nothing is happening yet. It was just a cruise missle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Update for those without TV: You can't see jack squat. It's just reports. For those who don't know what to watch, I'd like to point out this article. Looks like Faux News is barred from Iraq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cartman Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Nice, NBC is reporting that they are getting information from senior military officials thatn there will be 2 waves of bomber attacks launched tonight. This is strange that we announce this on the news is it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 You guys act like you've never seen a war on TV before. I don't think it really matters...War is surreal either way. It was surreal watching us bomb Afghanastain after 9/11, even though we've seen it before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
