did anyone see the bombings today?

some (almost all) tv channels here, were transmiting the bombings live (during the news) and all you could see was fire everywhere in bagdad. the sky was full of lights-either the american rockets or the iraqi anti-aircraft defence.
the rockets were falling and you could see this giant mushroom of smoke as they were destroying the buildings.

many innocent ppl must have died out there and are still dying now.
the whole city is almost destroyed but we will able to see the real tragicalness of this war in a few days- the dead people....
it's so sad...

i doubt very many civilians were killed........it was basically the bombing of military sites, saddams palaces, and republican guard sites

When i came home from school, the first thing i asked my dad was what new happened in the war. He said we bombed them rough today...He was right....It's horrible.

i hate watching war coverage, but there's something about it that just snags you and forces you to watch the horrific images...You can't turn away as hard as you try...But i obviously had enough power right now to get on my computer...only to talk about it in DC.

that's what they told you but when a whole city is on fire it's very unlikely the victims to be just few. the aftermath of this war will unveil the truth and if the truth ever reaches you, you'll see how tragic a war can be.

Yeah, right. And when NATO bombed a hospital in Kosovo, that was just a one in a million mistake. With their hi-tech weapons. Yeah, right. And i know people from Serbia. It was not an isolated case by far.

Funny how everyone turns into an armchair General at times of war
