THE SITUATION ROOM (Operation Iraq Freedom) 1 YR AGO

9/19/04 | Timeout

[Timeout]

Tonight is the one-year anniversary of the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Where are all the Sit Room regulars?! I thought it might be a good idea to resurrect the Situation Room for a "reunion". Does anyone still have a ping list?

I just walked by the TV and they were showing that camera on ACHMED's PARKING GARAGE! (Alas, no Achmed). No hammering could be heard at the time. I haven't seen any "traffic circle" shots yet, but they'll have to show them eventually.

But PRETTY CHICKEN was one of the correspondents recalling where he was that night (under his bed)!

Your card reminded me of Fl Engineer and his list of the killed or captured most wanted.I think we need a link the progress,Fl engineer.

Thanks Meg33, If we really have caught or killed the 'King of Pigs' I'll put out an update soon. Otherwise the list hasn't changed since last posted here

Latest Iraq 55 10 MOST WANTED Scoreboard ...(Rev: 02/17pm) ...Dirty Dozen(-2)

Mo1: On the list was the name of an Iraqi intelligence officer, Abid Al-Karim Muhamed Aswood, who was based in Pakistan and "responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama bin Laden group."

Thanks Mo1, I had not hear that of Aswood before! I'll keep him in mind and watch for his name.

[MEG33]

Thank you for the link and for keeping it up for us.

Remember Farik Sinatra?

[Mo1]

He was the prayer guy right?

Remember the dude that was reporting for ABC the first night the bombs dropped?

He sounded like he was gonna to wet his pants

Can't blame him though .. Having bombs dropping near me would have my nerves a bit on edge also

Present,but can't spend the time on the computer I could then.

Who was the female freeper whose husband was over there, and she saw phallic symbols in all the war coverage? She was a hoot, even though I felt for her. I miss her now...

That would be SoldiersGirl. I don't think we've heard from her since he got back ;-). Nice lady, and funny. u

Just for fun, here is a link to Day 5 of thread/war ~~about a year ago..

I am noting lots of "removed by moderator" don't recall many disruptor's.. perhaps that is the graphics now gone?

I did save much of graphics to hard drive.. If anyone wants a reunion / graphics thread I can put them on the server & post many. I know many people do NOT like graphics & so won't over do here (although, I may post a couple more over weekend)
