I must admit that I'm shocked. I was expecting it tomorrow afternoon when it's nightfall there.

May God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America.

Well I can say the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over...now they are saying is it a false alarm???? Its all sad to me. God Bless our Soldiers and the innocent people in the line of possible fire.

There has been some loud explosions. I think this was just a little warning.

God Bless our troops.

I just heard we were bombing where we thought there were Iraqi heads of state?

They are now saying the war has begun on FOX news.

God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops!!

God bless all our troops, and the innocent Iraqis.

And an special blessing on these troops, who have a most dangerous mission:

Bagdad's citizens are on my mind right now. I can't get that old lady off my mind (she was on the news earlier). She lived across from a Iraq Gov't building, and she's too poor to leave. I hope things will be OK, but I know it won't be.

I'm having a hard time watching it. I flashback to 91 when DH was there. It all looks and sounds the same to me on TV. I can't go through it again. I want to watch, but it stirs up all those emotions and fear from back then.

I pray for our troops and for the innocents in harm's way.

CBS News is reporting that the CIA gave intelligence this afternoon indicating they knew were some people were located. They think this was a strike --- a la Quadaffi, rather than the start of the real battle onslaught. They are hoping this could be a "wake up" call to Iraq.

I guess we'll have to wait a few more minutes for the President's address.

Thank you for the "heads up"... I seem to always get the breaking news here on the DIS.

My heart aches for the people placed in harms way. May this effort go smoothly and be concluded quickly.
