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...

Exactly. FNC is showing the war as an American Network. No Well what if the Iraqi's are telling the truth cr.p.

[smokeyjon]

"Has CNN reported about the chemical weapons factory capture?"

They'll probably ignore the wire and hope it goes away.

[Trust but Verify]

I heard the report. I just think there is too much information being given out. Unless it's disinformation, I'd like to hear a lot less of who's where. Are the Iraqi's broadcasting where their troops are?

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

It had chemical weapons inside, that's why Blix didn't inspect it.

Make it crispy, MOAB it.

He wanted it crispy, not vaporized!

Is Daschle saddened?

ABC Radio: If this is true, a very big dea. Let's be clear, nothing confirmed found, or CURRENTLY found, IF true. Plant Believed to produce at ONE time. Have the General and could have info. Wondering if UN had ever been there. This coudl be what we find out later, how to confirm if it is banned weapons. Army likely to send in experts, where are they located now, good record of what they find is needed. UN asked to come in for independent confirmation... "checking" the story out, originally coming from Jerrusalem post. Sorry for typo's typing as they speak...

In case you missed it Fox News Brett Bair just cleared it up. The story about the chemicle plant was broken by the Jerusalem Post. Apparently they decided that this wasn't a very good PR move so the JP later said that the story was unconfirmed.

However, the Pentegon has now confirmed that the story is true. They are saying it is a huge facility.

Just adored David Asman last night. He has so much pride in his son, the Marine. They are more in touch with the 76% of Americans that see the necessity of this war.

[tort_feasor]

I think that today has been escpecially bad on the news front. The thought we are getting close certainly helped buck me up.

[SW6906]

I just can't do anything right today...LOL!

[mware]

We have that special task force with scientist. Send 'em in to investigate with photographers.

[Otta B Sleepin]

He's extremely skeptical of this report.

Confirmation enough for me!

"It had chemical weapons inside, that's why Blix didn't inspect it."

LOL!

The guy FNC has on right now brought up a great point, which the RATs don't seem to be able to understand. I remember Mansoor trying to tell Colmes to stuff it, when Alan was like, why doesn't Bush just tell us if he knows so much! They can't understand the sinple concept of "blowing sources".

[Peach]

I can't bear to watch CNN tonight so I don't know if they've reported it; sorry.

[RightWingMama]

It had chemical weapons inside, that's why Blix didn't inspect it.

He had his head up his a$$. That's why he didn't inspect it.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Really?

All I heard was how he knows the Iraqi's will try to pull the wool over our eyes. HUH.

[Trust but Verify]

Great point. Why go to such lengths to camoflage something if it's so benign.

[Peach]

Not necessary but gratefully accepted!
