US Launches Cruise Missile Against Iraq
CNN reports a cruise missile has launched against "a target of opportunity" in Iraq. Broadly, that means something just became available that wasn't available yesterday, according to Jamie McIntyre. The President will address the nation at 10:15 E.S.T. It's 6 a.m. in Bagdad.
Update: The target was a "leadership target"--not one that just became available but one they just decided to hit. CNN
Update: The President decided to launch an isolated strike because otherwise it would be an "opportunity lost."
Update: There was more than one target, one South of Baghdad, one elsewhere (CNN)
