<font color=orange>Debka is reporting that US Marines and elements of the British 1st Armored Division have crossed the border and are advancing on an Iraqi Military installation. They posted this around 8:00am EST. They are also reporting the the US Army 3rd ID has moved into the DMZ between Iraq and Kuwait. Foxnews is also reporting this. Strike aircraft have launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln. All this from www.debka.com! </font>

Yep, that's the same source that's claiming that vice-president Tareq Aziz has defected (see my earlier made post). We'll know soon enough whether it's a trustworthy newssource or not.

Let the slaughter commence!

Any bets on how much of Iraq's populations will survive?

CNN hasn't picked it up yet, though Sky News is reporting it as breaking news...

That's rude, even if it is sarcasm. :(

BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Oh, I'm sorry...I tuned you out again. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Have anything *useful* to comment about, ON TOPIC?

Going to check the news source now SirT. I have been wondering exactly when it'd start. And, about 8AMEST is a pretty good time for our troops to attack, it's the middle of the night in Iraq.

<font color=orange>Reuters is also saying allied forces have moved into the DMZ, on the Kuwaiti side, but have not crossed. The DMZ is only 3 miles wide. They are also saying that their reporters are still in the holding areas, some 20 miles south of the border.</font>

They are 8 hours (I think)ahead of us. It should now be dusk over there.</font>
