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)!

Oh yes, that is her nic! Thank you so much for remembering it and the follow through.
With her husband home, no wonder she hasn't posted in while. :-)

Thanks for the pings

We were all amazed. We were all praying very hard. There were few losses.
We expected many more as we neared Baghdad.
The truth of the matter is, one never knows which of our expectations would surface.
War presents surprises. It's what it is. We have a hell of a group fighting for Freedom....for the safety of Our future AND the future of the world.
The one thing we know about terrorists is that roots don't matter...they will pick up and move to any area to disrupt peace and murder innocents. "Murder is their motto, money is their driver, stupidity is their end".

GLAD YOU BOTH HAVE SURIVED THE JOB "TERRORS"...hope that your current work is keeping the bills paid & you both satisfied with what you are doing...
and I do thank you both for the work you did initially & follow up with keeping the threads going. I read through a couple of the LONG threads today from last year & I guess we must have had lots of raunchy comments deleted.. not sure there were disruptors as much as some perhaps making "offensive to some" comments???

I've got to start freeping during non-working hours! LOL! I was thinking for the last few weeks, "I hope there is a sitution room reunion thread." I swear.
These threads were just so great. We all got to know each other and even though we were miles and miles apart it felt like we were all together experiencing the same things. I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want to miss a thing. I still perk up when I see someones screen name I recognize from the situation room threads on another thread. I really miss those threads.

My dad refers to FR as the "back yard fence.....It's just a very large back yard."
He doesn't have a computer and is always asking what I've heard in the neighborhood!

Nully,thanks for the ping. I remember the day the statue fell. I was so excited to see our guys in that square we had been watching for what seemed like a lifetime. Everyone knew the world had changed then.

Oh my yes. I do recall those pix, and they were fine LOL. Never too old to appreciate God's blessings on our soldiers or airmen.

Thanks...I used to have him and the Cigar guy as screesavers on my phone...I need to put them on my new one.
To: Mo1; melodie
I love your list!! The memories just came rushing back! As I was reading thru, I was thinking, "what about the wanker list??" I know someone had a long one...I think it was melodie?

I knew someone had a list! If you ever get a chance, please freepmail it to me?? I've told so many people of our times in the Situation Room...I don't think any other threads can compare to the joy, sorrow, patriotism, and love we shared there!
