After holding back for a whopping 90 minutes after Bush’s 48-hour deadline, cruise missiles started falling on Baghdad about 45 minutes ago.
Bush is just starting to address the nation.
Update: Two things stuck out at me during Bush’s speech. First, that he made sure to do his best to make it Saddam’s fault if innocent civillians get killed, because of his placing military personell and equipment in civillian areas. Second, that he already mentioned that this war could be harder and go on longer than some people expect. That didn’t take long. Bleah.
