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...

I DO KNOW THESE B-52'S HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO FLY A MISSION 16 HOURS!!!
Pray for strength and SHARP endurance for those pilots.

[Capitalism2003]

I hope she is one of the pilots... :)

Oscar update: JLo is presenting an award and her butt is back to the size it was on In Living Color. All I can say is, Tai-bo Tai-bo

ABC Radio: chemical factory, correcting that there is no proof it was wmd. Premature.... laughing a bit "interesting guy" comments about gues that believed this was smoking gun...bringss up Reagan as admin that gave toxins to Saddam in the 80's,.... we'd rather be wrong than qqquick on this story.....Do find it odd that there was a general there....Bush would LOVE this and we'll probably hear A LOT more about it from the administration.... "suspected chemical plant" extreme caution on this story. How did UN and US intelligence miss this?...

[prairiebreeze]

Why?? MSNBC had old combover on earlier and he did nothing but rant and spew about how Iraq always wanted to be friends with the US, yada yada yada. obnoxious

Haven't you heard? Or, maybe I've been misinformed. I'll wait for Wolf Blitzer to set me straight.

[Petronski]

The FRIGGIN' facility is 100 ACRES !!!!!!!

CNN would simply say thiz proves Iraq needs a lot of fertilizer.

Yeah, Saddam is famous for making the desert bloom!

[golas1964]

Another #$&*@ apologist/excusemaker for Iraq!

[slimer]

Greta is going to pick up on the story.

[AppyPappy]

I think that is an Apache pilot

[Wyatt's Torch]

No clue but these threads have included all kinds of news. Anyone seen Torrie's jacket today?

[Robert A Cook PE]

You bracketed 5000 ....

Wasn't that what Celine sang recently,

"Near, far, whereeeeeeeeeeeever it are...."

[Wormwood]

How did UN and US intelligence miss this?...

I'm guessing US intel didn't miss it. Why bolster Blix's credibility during the buildup?

Boom sound in Baghdad

I'm glad the Brits are getting some of this info. Maybe public opinion of Blair will start up in the UK after this.

Freepers are the greatest people to get through this with. The discussions are fantastic, and the info is so condensed it's unbelieveable. My thanks to each and every one of you for being part of this. AND.....

Thanks JimRob!!

Greta is going to pick up on the story.

Of the CBC's biased coverage?

[Carolina]

ABC

I hate ABC. If I wanted to be bulemic or anorexic, all I'd have to do was watch ABC or Petah Jennings to get the desired effect.

[Straight Vermonter]

Reagan gave vaccines to Iraq NOT biotoxins as the left would have you believe.

[muslims=borg]

Oh man ...I'd forgotten all about that. I need the belly girl antidote !!!!!

FOX: Former UN weapons inspector Terrance Taylor. "I see nothing; I hear nothing; I know nothing". Completely minimized all aspects of the reported chem-weap facility.
