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. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A breif description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Major Garrett was rubbing it in earlier that the Pentagon folks looked at the POW video at the Fox desk.

CNN now reporting again on the attack against the Medina division of the republican guard. mission started at midnight, 3 hours in duration, apache helicopters against the armor, AAA fired against the apaches, some minor hits, no damage reports yet.

[Cboldt]

Surely we can divert some grunts back to that area to take care of those sorry bastards. We ought to burn that town to the ground.

Count on it. Show of force is not convincing if it is a "one punch" victory. Follow-up is part of shock and awe.

OH good...Linda Vester. REally glad she is back.

We're all glad. Linda isn't a newsreader like Dari Alexander or Laurie Dhue.

I got some cold pizza in the fridge...I might go nuke it..

The article says "chemical weapons" not just chemicals.

[Otta B Sleepin]

Chem factory was booby-trapped.

Camouflaged, too, so it would be difficult to see from the air (per FNC) with sand cast walls to look like the surrounding desert.

[Straight Vermonter]

So why would they camo a regular chemical factory? Why would there be a General in command of it?

[abnegation]

If you were Rummy which network would you pick?

GET THAT PEDOPHILE OFF THE TV!!!

He's extremely skeptical of this report. Remember, he spent 7 years there. Iraq is a big country. He's irritated that his country that we've gone to war. He's irritated that his country has invaded without UN approval. Iraqis aren't welcoming the liberation.

[POGIFFMOO]

From the air it looked like a giant pirogi, that's why Blix didn't inspect it.

[RightWingMama]

They know he is a professional.
It took him all day to confirm. GO FOX!!

[GraniteStateConservative]

The RG know that they have no position post-Hussein. They have nothing to lose.

[abnegation]

Can't someone tell him that we're irritated that he is in this country?

[tort_feasor]

I forced myself to watch a little MSNBC today. Forrest Sawyer was an A..Hole

[Poser]

Ugh!!! Don't nuke the Pizza. Heat up a stone in the oven and warm it on the stone. It will be crispy and tasty, not hot, tough and mushy.

[Peach]

There are two articles: one states they found banned weapons and one states they found a chemical weapons factory.

[Carolina]

GET THAT PEDOPHILE OFF THE TV!!!

Anyone have a decontamination kit for me after listening to that perv?

[oceanview]
