A large boom hit Iraq a few minutes ago. Frightened the living daylights outta me. Couldn't see the explosion, but it must have done considerable damage.

You must be quite close to the blast to have heard it!

Thats wrong, I looked a few days ago, and I wondered about that. and it said I already voted.

I just did a test, voted "yes" twice and "no" twice.

Then Yes once again to gauge my vote.

It accepted votes. So is therefore not wrong! Plus the small article was on their own site, why would they make that up?? It makes them look a bit silly tbh, dont think they would make it up.

I'm looking for the article now, dont know if they keep archives n stuff on the site tho.

There's been protesting at Fairford, hope the guys don't take it too seriously as they fly off into a warzone, risking life and limb.

Seems wrong to me; protesting in the face of soldiers doing their job.

Aye, silly place to protest at the moment tbh.

Also, todays protests have been a big dissapointment to the anti war camp. They were hoping for the numbers they gained before the war in London, ie one million. THere were no more than about 100,000 though, if that.

Well, Im just saying from my point, I do remember it saying that ive already voted. May its a flaw in cookie/session etc in specific browsers or something (Im using Pheonix)

Just saying what they had put on their own site mate. I dont see why they would make it up.

Aah well. I didn't try voting twice as I assumed they'd be protected. It did cross my mind though so I don't really blame the multi-voters. I'd do the same.

hehe, aye, but they meant it was apparent that people were like, spending hours pressing "no" all day.

I started this thread the second news came in of the 1st missile drop! Suprised its still here. Has turned into the official Iraq War news thread now i guess! Good stuff, keep the news coming. Its better than making a new thread for each news release, as everyone just seems to read this one. 8000 views in a few days!

News of conflict between Blair and Bush in the agenda for post war Iraq.

Also, in last half hour, anti aircraft fire is going up again.

Also, Iraqi civilians are looting government offices that have been hit, taking things like beds and air-con units.

News from a reporter with the troops saying they came upon quite a bit of resitance, including some tanks etc.

I had a look at the poll yesterday afternoon and it looked nothing like that. The percentage of people for the war was a hell of a lot higher. I recon some fools have been re-clicking no.

Yup, as posted above, they have.

Yesterday afternoon, it was like 65-70% yes.
