At least 110 Tomahawk missiles fired at Libya: fired from both US and British ships and submarines.

WASHINGTON — US and British forces have fired at least 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Libya against Moamer Kadhafi's air defense sites, a top US military officer said Saturday.

Vice Admiral William Gortney told reporters that "earlier this afternoon over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from both US and British ships and submarines struck more than 20 integrated air defense systems and other air defense facilities ashore."

The first missile struck at 1900 GMT following air strikes carried out earlier by French warplanes, said Gortney, director of the US joint staff.

"It's a first phase of a multi-phase operation," he said.

One British submarine joined with other US warships in the missile attack, he added.

"Because it is night over there, it will be some time before we have a complete picture of the success of these strikes," the admiral said.

This is a picture of a 1000-pound conventional warhead detonating--as programmed--above a target on San Clemente Island, Cali 1986. The warhead was delivered by a Tomahawk cruise missile picture

Libya May Give The F-22 Its First Wartime Test

The Air Force’s most beloved fighter jet missed out on the last ten years’ worth of warfare. Now that the United Nations has approved a no-fly zone in Libya, the service is indicating the F-22 Raptor will get its first taste of combat.

Speaking at a Senate budget hearing yesterday, Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force’s chief of staff, said that the first phase of a campaign against Moammar Gadhafi’s aircraft would attack Libyan radar sites. That’s just as airmen with no-fly experience predicted to Danger Room. Taking down the radar sites, which direct Libyan air defenses, will require the use of radar-evading stealth jets. Enter the F-22 Raptor, Norton said, according to The Hill’s John Bennett.

Last week, retired Maj. Gen. Irv Halter, who once ran the U.S. no-fly zone over northern Iraq, told Danger Room he doubted the “high-end” Raptors would be necessary for a Libya campaign, largely due to the unsophistication of Libyan air defenses. “I wouldn’t deploy F-22s unless there was a political reason,” Halter said. “They’d be absolutely great at it, but their stealth capability isn’t really part of the issue. This airspace you’re gonna be able to get into easily.”

Donno what a terror attack would do to help them the American people could care less honestly. There is no anti-war movement anymore, theres no one standing in their way on Libya except Ron Paul. Honestly I just don't like paying for this expensive attack Unit Cost: Approximately $569000 so $62,590,000 + gas and what ever months on end of a no-fly zone will cost.

 

Even so the general response I get from people is eh why not, almost like its a forgone conclusion that we would bomb Libya. I'm not even that upset about it really as long as the asshat in chief doesn't put boots on the ground.

Now, we can expect, within a short time, a false-flag response from the terrorists (that's Al-CIAda by the way) in this country.  Any one care to guess which cities will get hit?

The NWO-created disasters in New Zealand, then Japan and now [what looks like] WWIII starting in Libya, I would have to say that the bad guys are on one Helluva' roll and they are now doing a flat-out 'full court press' against humanity.

It is time to head for the hills, folks.

So Obama just declaired war on Libya illegally just like Bush did... What a surprise, didn't Obama get the Nobel peace prize lol 

 

So technically World War 3 just started right? Two fronts on two different continents is the definition.

It's going to cost us much in more ways than one.
