It appears as though Bush has decided to take it upon himself to begin attacking military targets in Iraq that are far beyond the scope of what was previously attacked as part of the no-fly-zone operations in Iraq.
Apparently, jets patrolling the no fly zones have shifted rolls from that of being on the defensive (i.e. only attacking targets that had fired upon them, and even more specifically, only those that for surface-to-air operations) to destroying all military targets inside of the no-fly-zones. Yes, we've officially decided to start attacking the Iraqi army.
This is a clear act that the war has begun. I find it amusing that it's been done with little fanfair, almost no media coverage, and completely outside of what the UN has granted him the right to do.
Are we really prepared to take on the entire world because we think Saddam's breath smells?

In a related story, I'm pretty lonely in Phoenix. I could really use a girlfriend to go out to dinner with and see movies and stuff. I don't want this country to go to war if I don't have someone to cuddle with. This is very important to me.

I dunno...is France against it? No? Neutral? If France is against it, I say we act now and act fast. Germany is only scared that they could be in range of Iraqi chem/bio warfare weapons. Can't say I blame them. I say we just drop a few of these 21,000 lbs. bombs on Baghdad and see what happens when the dust settles.
