[00:00.577]…Massive aerial bombardment…
[00:05.796]The more the merrier in terms of concentrated fire power so that the war will be shorter…
[00:09.670]Who gave him the chemical weapons, who gave him the AWAKS…
[00:10.734]The monstrous military machine that… THE WEST... built for Saddam Hussein…
[00:13.752]…There seems to be a divergence between what the UN appears to be saying on paper and what the allies are now saying in one form or another in reality once this war has begun…
[00:19.489]Peace and security can scarcely be restored to this area with anything like the Iraqi war machine in the condition we saw it in the last few days…
[00:26.515]…Except if he withdraws from Kuwait and then says "I've withdrawn, that's it, you've done what you've wanted, I'm out." I think that option has now virtually been exhausted…
[00:34.195]Our goal remains the same: to liberate Kuwait...
[00:36.412]This man has to comply with these resolutions without equivocation…
[00:41.690]MPs won't be able to vote for an amendment supporting a cease fire…
[00:45.197]…A direct hit on two blocks of flats in Baghdad…
[00:47.068]44,000 sorties…
[00:47.805]Schwarzkopf says most of the civilian damage has been caused by Iraq's own air defence missiles which went astray…
[00:49.153]…One F15 Eagle packs the military impact of an entire squadron of B24s…
[00:54.842]…Television has done a beautiful job of demonstration of the hi-tech the Arabs will be buying in the next few years…
[00:55.222]…The futuristic Stealth bomber, designed to be invisible to enemy radar… just one of the range of the world's most sophisticated weapons…
[01:00.252]As if incredibly accurate bombs and missiles don't do the same things to human beings as old fashioned ones…
[01:04.501]F1-11s, F-15s and F-16s taking off with full weapons loads…
[01:09.492]At the rate of one every ninety seconds…
[01:13.085]…We feel very good… so far, so good…
[01:15.626]I think it's really going well…
[01:16.991]Early indications are that it has been a very successful operation…
[01:19.714]If I had to say something bad I'd say I wish the weather would be a little bit nicer right now…
[01:23.184]…B52s have already begun to bomb well protected positions of the elite Republican Guard…
[01:26.772]…Operations against the Republican Guard are being stepped up… 3,000 allied sorties in the last 24 hours alone…
[01:29.729]…We'll try to hammer them just as hard as we can…
[01:32.323]…B52 bombers drop their bombs 30 tons at a time in a three mile long strip…
[01:37.520]The effect of this on the Iraqi army is difficult to determine…
[01:40.709]The allies are anxious no-one should be under the illusion that this will be an easy war to win…
[01:46.707]…They kept talking about the Elite Republican Guard in these hush tones, like these guys were the bogeymen or something:
[01:52.088]"…Yeah we're doing well now but we have yet to face the Elite Republican Guard…" like these guys were twelve feet tall desert warriors…
[01:59.637]Yeah, well, after two months of continuous carpet bombing and not one reaction at all from them they became simply the Republican Guard… not nearly as elite as we may have led you to believe…
[02:10.420]And after another month of bombing, they went from the Elite Republican Guard to the Republican Guard to the Republicans made this shit up about there being guards out there…
[02:18.912] 
[02:20.007]…Isn't it in some respects the right of people to demonstrate in this way the right which we're fighting for in the Gulf?
[02:25.837]Oh certainly not, and that's a very confused statement of people's rights…
[02:29.827]They take the time of the police, the so-called demonstrators… and I very much regret that people should feel the need to do this…
[02:38.093]Because it is not gaining any political advantage of any kind… it is causing a great deal of inconvenience… and it's a pointless act of selfishness…

[03:07.030]2600 sorties today…
[03:08.820]American B52s were targeting areas just 5 miles from the heart of the city… destroying the main power station…
[03:17.148]You're not seriously suggesting that such a building would have been targeted. I mean that really is quite absurd…
[03:22.113]The attacks are having a devastating effect… day by day more and more of Baghdad's infrastructure is being reduced to rubble…
[03:28.152]Last night the bombs found a new target…
[03:30.402]It was a petro-chemical plant… power stations and energy producing facilities are being steadily obliterated…
[03:36.557]…My CENTAF commander has now claimed air supremacy…
[03:40.694]…They are using er - high altitude bombing and most of the civilians are paying the price…
[03:44.994]They didn't show us pictures of maybe some of the bombs which hadn't hit their sites…
[03:47.654]We're not targeting innocent civilians… we're not going to go in there and kill a lot of innocent people…
[03:51.247]The officials in the Western governments are not telling the truth…
[03:53.903]Every night since the war began Baghdad has been attacked at least once and sometimes as many as four times…
[03:59.098]We also attack power plants. One fourth of Iraq's electrical generating facilities are completely inoperative and another 50% suffer degraded operations…
[04:07.031]Prime Minister John Major rejected calls for negotiations…
[04:09.743]…The Iraqis have been cut off from regular food and water supplies as the allied bombing began in mid January… (…We have deliberately set ourselves the aim of keeping casualties to a minimum among the civilian populations of Iraq…)
[04:16.165]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[04:18.545]A hydro-electric installation in Iraq being bombed by the Americans…
[04:21.973]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…

[04:29.281]The allies are including a number of food storage and processing plants in their strategic objectives…
[04:33.071]The present task for the marines is to kill the boredom…who can assemble the gun the fastest…

[04:41.169]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[04:43.975]…Allied strike planes have hit oil pumping stations…
[04:46.260]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[04:48.616]More than a third of Iraq's communications network has gone…
[04:51.835]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[04:53.904]The allied determination to destroy Iraq's refining capacity…

[05:01.047]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[05:03.326]The total oil spillage into the Gulf from attacks on offshore platforms could be eight times that spilled from the Exxon Valdez…
[05:10.985]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[05:13.476]In the city centre the sound was deafening. Two bridges across the Tigris took direct hits…
[05:18.783]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[05:21.139]The impact on civilians caught by the bombing is all too evident…
[05:25.094]I am annoyed at the propaganda coming out of Baghdad about targeting civilians. This has been fantastically accurate…
[05:32.752]Iraq's infrastructure has been bombed again and again…
[05:35.620]We're doing our best to abide by the Geneva Convention…
[05:37.547]57,000 sorties…

[05:44.973]…Absolute precision is impossible to achieve…
[05:46.994]…They can now move on to carpet bombing…
[05:49.536]Allied air sorties reaching 59,000…
[05:51.830]Without power and fuel life saving incubators are useless…
[05:55.176]Devastated homes are a reality…

[06:09.566]The allied strategy - to bombard and cripple the nation - is close to completion…
[06:14.719]…I'm now gonna show you a picture of the luckiest man in Iraq…
[06:17.863]Keep your eye on the crosshairs…
[06:21.576]Right there… right through the crosshairs…
[06:24.446]And now in his rear view mirror… (hahahaha)
[06:28.707]…This is the only human being to have been shown by the allies to the press…
[06:32.643]Government leaders around the world are following the course of the war on television…
[06:37.039]But where does the news come from?…
[06:38.433]The pool system here is being manipulated…
[06:40.324]They prefer not to use the word censorship…

[06:55.470]Operation Desert Storm continues on track…
[06:57.611]In the crowded air raid shelters people try to make sense of the conflicting reports…
