WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. and coalition forces launched missiles and bombs at targets in Iraq as Thursday morning dawned in Baghdad, including a "decapitation attack" aimed at Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and other top members of the country's leadership.

After his address from the White House, Bush announced the new bombing campagin on Iraq. Not long after, Sadaam came on the tv and said "We pledge that we will confront the invaders, (Iraqi resistance will cause the coalition to) lose any hope in accomplishing what they were driven to by the criminal Zionists and others with their agendas," and referred to the attack as a violation of international laws. I'm not sure what to make of the attack. Was it really necessary? I'm not sure, but i think that it might be a little excessive for the amount of fighting that is still going on. I'm a little afraid, too, because Sadaam's very convincing and stirring speech might inspire some terrorist groups.
