***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 5 - LIVE THREAD***
Everywhere! | 23 Mar 2003 | An.American.Expatriate

Posted on 03/23/2003 8:56:32 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, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Wish I knew the answer. My objectivity is gone re. the mainstream press. To quote a senior US postal inspector shortly after 9-11, "we should bomb the NY Times before bombing Baghdad."

My answer would have been when Helen can't leave the nursing home anymore.

He is only briefed about twice a day. Between those, he's out of the loop.

Tarqi Azziz just surface??

Just surfed around and CNN was showing Tariq Aziz and I am guessing this is a "new" clip but I did not follow what he was saying.

However, while he was speaking they listed "facts" about him and he was born "Michael Yuhanna" and changed his name to Tariq Aziz which means "Glorious Past".

-Ari earns every penny of his salary doesn't he?

That is so true. My husband was watching a news conference the other day with Ari and after a few minutes he said, "That guy is good!"

I don't know about you, but I'd already be serving my term in a federal prison for murder if I had his job.

I would hope you all would treat me kindly and get me news of the war inside "the big house."

You're just in time for Tariq's emergence. When our guys get to Baghdad, bye, bye Iraqi TV.

Regarding scenes of jubilation: We HAVE seen such scenes, but in some areas people are AFRAID because Saddam's people are skulking around the villages.

You didn't see too many scenes of jubilation in Nazi Germany, either, although once the war was over the people gradually came to be accepting of America.

Of course, Schroeder has managed to undo a portion of that, but for a LONG time Germans were a good ally.
