Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted March 20, 2003 There are reports that Iraqi missiles have either landed around the Iraq/Kuwait and exploded or were shot down by Patriot missiles. U.S. troops in the area are putting on their chemical protection suits. I hope it's just missiles getting shot down and not chem warheads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Gas attack shit is starting up again. Sanjay and the marines in that encampment are putting their gas masks on once again. Also: Scuds are flying, and hey, the Patriot actually worked! EDIT: AP is confirming the Patriots are successfully working against the scuds, but why are we sitting here and getting fired on? Is someone going to wake up Boy George and get the go ahead to move forward? EDIT 2: That Sanjay guy is back. The Marines are saying an unidentified missile landed. Nobody killed, bio/chem/nuke teams are dispatched. EDIT 3: French PM Chirac is making a statement at a quarter past the hour. That might be entertaining assuming the media doesn't no-sell him.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 I would be very surprised if the Patriots actually worked (we've heard that from the government before ), but I am very pessimistic when it comes to missile defense. CNN says there is no information about whether the PAC-3 actually intercepted their target. Edit: CNN says only one Patriot has been fired and it might have been a false alarm. Nice to know the Iraqis don't have scud..... oh wait guess the inspectors didn't do their jobs. These scuds are conventional and do not qualify for WMD unless they start exploding into gas clouds or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted March 20, 2003 A few things, since I was glued to the TV last night and am just coming into this thread now: The missiles launched at North Kuwait were reported to be Al-Samouds, not Scuds. Patriot missile shot down two of the four that were launched. No causalties were reported, but a Medivac helicopter was seen flying toward the Iraq/Kuwait border after one of the strikes. When Saddam's speech started, Iraqi TV cut out after his first two sentences. My roommate and I laughed like hyenas at that, thinking it'd be great if we just bombed his TV transmitters. The speech came back on, though, and then we started talking about how great it would be to see Saddam get filled full of hot lead on "live" TV. Before the speech was cover, we doubted that was Saddam making the speech, and we doubted it was live. Fox's translator didn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, either. I tend to doubt Saddam is already dead, but that would be a fucking great victory if he were. I doubt anyone would be angry about it, even those who have been vocal critics of the war. The chance to minimize casualties is always a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
