8 B-52's took off from England this morning. Each can carry 20 ALCM's (Air Launched Cruise Missile). Somebody's about to have a very very bad night!

Just wondering Chad - cause they couldn't fly from over Turkey - they won't give final permissions - so I figured they are going the long way around and making the most of this TRIP. Curious to find out later how many jets were in involved and how many missiles came from offshore - FIRE POWER - for the USA. Lets ROLL.

BOTH BOMBS AND CRUISE MISSLES! Some are of the 2000lb variety that took out the Ceremonial palace. That is according to retired military on the TV that know what they are seeing with the explosions. On e reporter in Baghdad just said he had to go and then you heard a sound like a jet(probably cruise missle)going by close.
