I have to wonder which (or how many) of the bad guys got smoked in the raid this morning.
Fox News is reporting that the initial strkes near Baghdad were aimed at Iraqi leadership. If successful, killing any one of the five people targeted (Saddam, his evil progeny, and a couple of bootlickers) would be an extraordinary takedown.
It’s being reported that F-117s coordinated their bomb strikes with a dozen or more cruise missile strikes – such that all the impacts came in an impressivly short 10-15 second window.
Devastating. Does Saddam really think he can win?

The war has begun, and what surprises me most is my sense of relief.
Thank you, God, the waiting is over.
I don’t think that speaks particularly ill of me. I have been and remain a strong supporter of President Bush, and an equally strong proponent of the elimination of Saddam and his weapons, and the liberation of the people of Iraq.
Mainly, I know that with American and allied success in this war, the United States will be just that much safer, and that the odds of a chemical, biological or nuclear 9/11 will be that much smaller. And that’s good enough for me.
I will sleep with a clear conscience tonight… if I can manage to drag myself away from the news broadcasts.
FDR said it best:
With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.
