Saddam's deadline is up... Here we go...

Our thoughts are with those who are fighting for our freedom.

My brothers in the Army... In the country of Turkey right now, which is right outside of Iraq... I can only hope he's O.K.

UPDATE: CNN has just reported that air-rade sirens are going off in Baghdad... Though they are saying now it is "NOT officially" the beginning of war.

PFOnline must be hard for you, I have a few friends who are currently based in kuwait and I guess are getting ready for the orders.

I am just hoping that this is over quick, with as little life loss as possible.

There is a live webcam at the MSNBC website that has sound in Baghdad.

I have it on right now.

Very eerie.

Looks like three dozen Cruise Missles and several aircraft dropping 2,000 pounders have been hitting a bunker which is believed to house the military heads.

It is reported that two Divisions of the Peoples Army (there are three levels of which this is the lowest) have offered to surrender.

Folks, there are plenty of sites out there about politics and the issues at hand.

We have never been about the political flame fest here - and make no mistake - ALL politics on the web are a flame fest. That is doubly true of a site with a world-wide membership.

We couldn't begin to discuss this matter in any respectiful manner. One look around the other major community sites that are discussing it, and it is clear that serious damage is being done to those sites, those communities, and those members.

That is not to say I don't think there is the need to discuss it. We all are interested and concerned about the war. If you are not concerned about it, please do your family and community a favor and seek some mental therapy.

Unfortunatly in this mostly impersonal environment of the web - those discussions only lead to bad feelings and problems among the community. We are not singling out any members or nationalities on this matter either. We actually tried to have an intelligent conversation about it in moderators today and it broke down rapidly. If we can't do it, we ca not expect the general membership to do it.

Therefore, as with the charter of Foo, we are going to call all this off topic and stick to dealing with internet and web topics.
