BBC reckon it must be the B52's, they're bombing the **** out of the place now.

Aye. Pictures are kinda scary, they really are bombing the shizzle out of it!.

Then again, to be expected with a name like "Shock and Awe".

Beaky's post says all.

Whole point is to scare the shaloozle out od the Iraqi leadership and troops.

Hope it works

MOAB might me used in the dessert if needed.

Wont be used on Baghdad centre. A 1000lb missile deavastates a large building and rocks the whoel city, as we saw tonight.

MOAB is like 21,000lb. yes 21 thousand lb.

Also, much of the Explosion we are hearing is not the bomb hitting, its what they are blowing up, ie weapons dumps, fuel supplies at palaces etc.

20 ton is 20,000 kg though so that equates to over 40,000lb

"Known as MOAB — the Mother of All Bombs or more formally the Massive Ordnance Air Blast — the 21,000-pound explosive weighs as much as six Volkswagen Beetles and would be the largest conventional bomb in use by the military."

21,000lb

A 40,000lb bomb wud be madness!

Anything landed on Kuwait city today?

Not sure mate, but, we have now taken the main site that it was thought the missiles were being launched from, so hopefully the missiles will stop falling on Kuwait.

If he does use Biological or Chemical weapons if he has them, on British or US Troops, then i really do fear. If this was a massive attack, like really massive, we are allowed use HMS Vanguard or one of the other 4 ICBM submarines we have will be pointing missiles straight at Sadman Insanes a$$. Each missile can deliver 12 warheads :eek:

, although, i doubt they wud use this capability, unles pushed with no choice esp due to the iraq situation.
