<Eyal> Ely: no masks needed yet, 'till sirens be heard again.
<NPR:+report> DO NOT SAY WHERE MISSLES LANDED!!!! 
<NPR:+report> EVEN ON IRC
> nbc is showing cnn
<NPR:+report> ELY EYAL: ok?
<Ely:+report> Israeli TV says foreign news may not be accurate..
<Eyal> again, there is no sign of missles or chimical missles landing anywhere.

<Ely:+report> and soon official report
<SteelRat:+report> Eyal, you gotta big back yard remember
<NPR:+report> IF ITS BEENB ON THE NEWS.. MENTION IT....

<Robert:+report> NPR where do you think this is coming from?
<Calvin:+report> fighter bombers are going after the rest of the missiles right now
*Rhemus* do you get this?
<mikeg:+report> test -- acknowledge if you hear it
<scruffy> why not report missile info?
<elfie> boom heard over allied base maybe scud warhead separation.  Boom is typical of scud missls.
> pentagon states allied launch against stationary scuds
<leviathan> allied forces airborne for striking mobile missile sites
<Arkie:+report> Air raid alert in Dahran...
<Eyal> Ely: heard anything about our airforce?
<elfie> source is abc

<Ely:+report> Eyal: nothing, except i hear sometimes jets flying over jlm
<Nautilus> Dhahran or Bahrain? Big difference.
<CAPJisCNN:+report> CNN does not mention confused state - Pentagon's official report says that they are unsure.
<Eyal> Ely: same here.
<Calvin:+report> MOST of the hard sites were destroyed previously, not ALL, according to CNN.
<cos> scruffy (and anyone else): concern is that if exact locations of hits are known, Iraqis will know better how to correct for better accuracy.
-> *capjiscnn* same diff... they are the FIRST to state conflicting reports.
<Arkie:+report> Dhahran.
<Calvin:+report> missile sites that is.
<dodo1> CNN retracts Pentagon statement that all missiles had been destroyed

<dodo1> Tom Fenton says that Israeli jets are underway, CBS finally confirms that 8 missiles touched down in Israeli territory
<spam> Saddam has been monitoring CNN. That's one of the reasons it's been allowed to stay up. A great deal of information may be intentionally false. Don't give away tactical information as no one knows where all of Saddam's info sources are
<mikeg:+report> can anyone in Saudi or Israel give us a current situation report?
<mikeg> .
<CAPJisCNN:+report> F125E ??  Perhaps F15E?
> cnn denied chem weapons!
<NPR:+report> Israel rejected US appeal not to retalliate
<Calvin:+report> israeli retaliation is anticipated any time now

<Calvin:+report> F15E I'm sure, no such thing as F125E  :)

<CNNtv> Israel has not decided if it will retaliate.
<dodo1> pete: israel has decided not to attack at this point (CNN, CBS, etc. quoting Israeli ambassador to UN)
<cos> Pete: Israel has probably decided not to retaliate at all.  Otherwise, they would not announce to the world that they have only 7 injuries, 5 of which are minor.

Usage: MODE <channel> [+|-]<modechars> <parameters>
  Mode command is quite complicated and it allows channel
  operators to change channel mode.  <modechars> is one of 
  the following:
    m           - channel is moderated (moderated)
    s           - channel is secret
    p           - channel is private
    l <number>  - channel is limited, where <number> is the
                  maximum number of users allowed
    t           - topic limits, only the channel operators may 
                  change it
    a           - channel is anonymous
    o <nick>    - Makes <nick> a channel operator
    i           - channel is invite only
    n           - No MSGs to the channel are allowed
  A + or - sign determines whether the specifies mode should be
  added or deleted.
