Well, the war in the Persian Gulf has officially begun. However, it began with a lot less bang then everyone was expecting. The initial action was going after "targets of opportunity," which hopefully means they got Saddam. They were showing a video on the Fox and MSNBC a few minutes ago that was claimed to have been a life broadcast of Saddam on Iraqi TV. But nothing in the tape would confirm that it was and it could very likely be taped prior to the attacks.

Now that the US has opened the Iraq campaign it doesn't mean they've stopped elsewhere. About 20 minutes after the strikes in Iraq over 1000 troops in Afghanistan launched a raid to seek out terrorists throughout areas of that country.
