Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day.

Fox via Reuters: 4-6 day pause in ground advance.

[Cate]

4-6 delay in the advancement by our troops on Baghdad. Bombing will continue, but we won't inch closer. Time to regroup big time.

Reuters, 4 to 6 day pause in Iraq Advance to ground troops ordered

[dogbyte12]

Is that 4-6 days from now... or.. have we already paused 4 days already? We were 50 miles from Bagdad 72 hours ago as you may recall.

[ztiworoh]

Im assuming they are going to get to a 15-20 mile ring arounf baghdad, group together, get some rest, bring in some more troops; all while bombing the RG to make the battle easier

[Dolphy]

What is this 4-6 day pause in Iraq advance? Why would this be published?

[two23]

Ahhhh--Airborne Guy!

[Grenada]

FNC, commanders have predered a 4-6 pause on forward action??? Why would they do that? Are our guys going to sit in the freaking desert for SIX days?!?!?!?

[CWW]

Smart Move. Allows more troops to get in theatre and solidify supply lines and get the 4th ID in country. Still get to bomb the crap out of RG and Baghdad.

[Ramius]

4-6 delay in the advancement by our troops on Baghdad.

riiiiiigght. nudge nudge, wink wink.

[AlextheWise1]

disinformation maybe,,,,

[BulletBobCo]

Possible disinformation.

[Green]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[Cate]

I bet this will give all the people in Baghdad time to get out, time for us to get all the huge wazoo weapons lined up and then Saddam is a dustball.
