Families anxious for news on President Bush as pages 5A carry updates. The brief item notes ongoing support efforts and public interest in timely information.
Early today Aiken residents found a special eight page extra edition of the Aiken Standard in newspaper racks. The extra was produced by the news, production and circulation staffs to inform readers about the crisis in the Persian Gulf. Those without a copy were urged to call the Circulation Department at 649-5316.
United States and allies opened with dawn air strikes to cripple Saddam Hussein’s forces in Iraq. Bush hailed progress while reports of casualties emerged from Britain and France, and Baghdad claimed anti aircraft success amid continued bombardment.
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney called the Persian Gulf fighting “so far so good” at a Pentagon briefing while warning against premature victory claims and acknowledging casualties. President Bush praised air strikes as successful and prepared for a prayer service with Billy Graham as military targets continued.
Americans react as U S forces attack Baghdad with mixed emotions. Shirley Anderson of Washington cries for her Army sergeant son in Saudi Arabia while others pray for peace and support troops. At a Milwaukee counseling event, families seek connection as protests and prayers fill churches and storefronts nationwide.
Residents in Aiken reacted with fear and concern after White House confirmation of air strikes on Iraq. Interviews show people supportive of the president’s action while anxious about consequences. Quotes reflect faith, worry, and hopes for a swift conflict, with varied personal stakes.
