Major Strike on Iraq Underway

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the crossing-into-mainstream-news dept.

The major news sources are reporting that much larger scale attacks are now underway in Iraq. Here is CNNs story. Pentagon officials have confirmed that this is "A-day" for war, presumably the so called "Shock & Awe" mentioned by the White House earlier. In other words, it starts now. Update: 18:01 GMT by CT : Iraq has apparently ordered CNN out of Baghdad. Updates as events warrant.

    Good old Godwin's Law. It's just eerie how true it is.
