OK, NOW it is WAR

Looks like there are reports of Missile bombings in Kabul.

The White House has announced the beginning of "a new front on the war against terrorism."

The President is to make an address shortly.

Well, looks like we are in for a long haul. No illusions about that.

Better hope that stories of Nuclear, Chemical and other weapons of mass destruction aren't accurate else the last thing we might end up seeing is the imprint of a mushroom cloud as it oimprents intself on the back of your retina, about a nano second before your entire body combusts...

This attack is not a NATO operation though, British forces are in on it but that is all. Germany supported the attack the Norwegian government stay passive for the time beeing(cowards).
I hope the bombers find the targets that is supposedly the terrorist training camps, not the populated places within Kabul and Islamabad. This can get a bit more nasty than we want it to be.

Well, I think the previously made statements of support pretty much make this a NATO sanctioned operation. Comments on that anyone?

No one has come out against this attack yet, have they?

Only the obvious people. It's good that the US struck fairly quickly becausre this unidied support wouldn't have lasted forever.

I wouldn't worry too much about mass destruction rumours.

That's incorrect, British ships have also launched cruise missiles according to the news.

As for the mass destruction things, yeah, I know, just wanted to raise a little alarmist fear. big grin

If this should have been a NATO operation the US would have to notified all NATO members before the attack not through a press conference.

Ah, alarmist fear... did you HAVE to be so graphic? I'll be thinking about that now...

Brits were bound to get in pretty quick. We were lucky enough to have our largest ever deployment since the Falklands just around the corner from Afganistan when all this began.

This is doing marvels for US/UK relations. They were just going downhill after Bush got in but now we are on a REAL high!

They say they are dropping aid to Afghan civilians as well. I really do hope they have a competent humanitarian side to this operation as well.

Hmmm, I don't believe for a moment that NATO members were unaware that this was going to happen.

I agree that this is a US/British operation right now, but I my belief is that it is a NATO sanctioned activity.
