***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 4 - LIVE THREAD***
Everywhere! | 23 Mar 2003 | An.American.Expatriate

Posted on 03/22/2003 8:59:41 PM PST by null and void

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...

One thing to keep in mind here.. that location is not in the strategic line of sight for Baghdad.

The adults are in charge. Plus, if this was a target, that bodes strongly that the factory is capable of making WMD, and has been used to make WMD.

I got this in an email

BUSH AGREES TO MORE INSPECTIONS

(AP) Washington DC Friday, March 7, 2003 8:00 AM
President George Bush has made an announcement that we will not attack Iraq.

The President has announced that as of today he is agreeing to additional inspectors to be deployed throughout the country of Iraq.

We will be sending 100,000 additional inspectors into Iraq. The additional inspectors will include:
24,000 members of the 1st Infantry Division
15,000 members of the 101st Airborne Division
5,000 members of the 4th armored division with their "M1-A1 all terrain vehicles"

Special air deliveries to aid the inspections will be made by aircraft from the USS Constellation, USS George Washington, USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Enterprise.

The President stated: "with these additional inspectors the inspections should be completed in a few weeks."

Linda Vestor is asking the right questions, without being ugly about it. Very professional.

You are so right! These guys try to shape the news instead of just telling the facts. Hence a lie!

Walter Cronkite told the biggest lie of the Viet Nam War when he told the American people the Tet offensive by NV was a big defeat for the US. It was all down hill for public support from then on. In fact, it was a major and strategic victory for us!

Was it decided ya'll wanted Oscar "news" on this thread? Or just their political comments?

(For my fellow Hobbit fans: LOTR 2 won visual effects.)

I wonder if the B-52s have alternating crews (like subs do) or if the same crews are doing ALL of these runs.

Report that 30 Tomahawks have been vire through Turkish airspace. Geeze we don't much word about what's going on in the north. As it should be.

Watching the Prez say that we have made it "very clear" to the Turks that we expect them not to go into northern Iraq. Supposedly no more than 12 miles into Iraq says the commentator. MSNBC source

Is it a coincidence how fast the UN threw someone out to defend them?

They not only have multiple crews, but there are at least 2 crews on the aircraft.

Invitiation to see media bias in action

The other night we had a lot of fun watching the CBC's flagship nightly newscast, "The National," which is being simulcast live on C-SPAN ever night during the war.

If you think the US mainstream media is biased ... if five minutes of NPR makes you ill ... well, friend, let me tell you, you ain't seen NOTHING yet until you've seen "The National." The CBC does not even make any pretense to objectivity. It is hard, HARD left; it is MASSIVELY anti-American; it is MASSIVELY anti-war. Your jaw will drop if you watch this show with us, I promise you.

The show will air live on C-SPAN1 at 9pm EST/6pm PST. Won't you join us and vomit? CBC's "The National" LIVE THREAD March 23, 2003 (See REAL media bias in action! C-SPAN 9pm ET!) Starting one minute from now!
