| Studio Host 1 | Just before dawn, Baghdad time, the air raid sirens went off as a series of explosions rocked the city. |
| Studio Host 2 | This initial strike was limited. The main attack is expected within 12 to 24 h. Here’s [[how the day developed]]. Within 90 min of the deadline [[passing]] [[for Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq]], American bombers attacked military targets around Baghdad. |
| Studio Host 1 | President George W. Bush promised a broad and concerted campaign [[to disarm Iraq]]. Prime Minister John Howard said Australian FA-18 Hornets were already operating over Iraq. And in a televised speech Saddam Hussein accused the United States of crimes against humanity. |
