First Strike

News reports indicate cruise missles and bombs from stealth fighters struck bunkers south of Baghdad. Targeted were five leadership targets including Saddam and his two sons. It is possible that mutiple missles and bombs were targeted on the same coordinates to burrow deeper underground. It is interesting that the decapatation strikes were done prior to knocking out communications. This should permit intelligence to be gathered on the effectiveness of the strike, from communications by survivors or those looking for survivors. There may be more decapatation strikes before the "shock and awe " strikes begin. While there are some reports of ground forces fighting in the Basra area, reporters embedded with units in that area say they are still in Kuwait.
