America warned Soddem that if he resorted to a chem attack he'd be Nuked. MOAB could be used on one of his palaces. His largest palace is some 25 square miles in size.

Aye, i Remember Johm Major saying this when he was Prime Minister, and in his memoirs, he said it wasn't just BS, he would have done so.

Off to sleep now. To sum up today a bit:

RAF Tornados have taken part in a series of massive air strikes on Baghdad.

The Tornado GR4s were said to have targeted the radar defence systems that protect Saddam Hussein and his high command.

The Tornados - launched from IX(b)Squadron at 1700 GMT (2000 local time) - were using Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missiles (ALARM), which can lock onto radar systems which would otherwise help down coalition aircraft.

They were followed by a second wave of Tornados from 617 Squadron (The Dam Busters), flying on the 60th anniversary of its most famous mission.

"We are expecting this to be on an unprecedented scale, far larger than Operation Desert Storm in 1991. It is the greatest night in the history of the Tornado squadrons," added Group Captain Dobb.

Although it was a "significant" attack, it would be "carefully targeted against the regime" and minimise civilian casualties and infrastructure, the statement added.

Also included in Friday evening's air assault were Tornado F3s and Harrier GR7s as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from submarines HMS Splendid and HMS Turbulent.

And among the forces at the disposal of the US were eight enormous B-52 bombers, which left RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire at 1000 GMT on Friday.

Thank you. People seem to assume that people like OBL and these suicide bombers etc speak for all Islam. They are fundamentalists. They do not follow Islam as set out out it should be.

Also, not so much to the Americans, but most Iraqi's seem to love the British people and all things British. Iraqi civilians are a friendly but repressed people.

PS reports coming in of more Iraqi surrendering. Anyone have any info??
