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...

Pentagon briefing 3:30 p.m. EST.

LOL! I knew it! Recently one of my cats walked on the keyboard as I was writing a post. I just left it there as his comment. I was trying to appease him but it just makes that bad behavior worse. Shame that the UN couldn't figure that out.

If you don't appease them, they will pee on your shoes. That's kitty terrorism.

I was explaining how he could be both a secularist (fighting them) and use fundamentalist rhetoric (having ties to them).

Ok here is another question...

Why not attack the Medina with A-10's??

Well, the French continue to make trouble:

Chirac pledges cooperation with Vatican on Iraq war in letter to Pope

I didn't hear if Major Garrett said that Rummy would be there or not. So I'm left hanging........

[GraniteStateConservative]

He's not really hooking up with them. He's hooking up with anti-American groups in general. He's not picky.

[prairiebreeze]

The suspect building has been found to have nothing in it of chemical nature at least according to posts on main forum. Will be interesting to hear if anything definitive comes from DOD. Also it's Torie Clark today and not Rummy I heard,

Speaking of chemical weapons -

When the gas cylinder explosion was first reported as huge explosion near 5th fleet, I freaked. All I could think about was chemical weapons and almost made myself ill thinking about it. I couldn't imagine ever being strong enough to be fighting this insanity.

Did you run out of chill pills?

[abnegation]

Thanks, I won't hold my breath for Rummy then. (g)

[sissyjane]

Perhaps you should head over to DU where you will be more comfortable with your own kind. Go away.

[Miss Marple]

Boy, I hope Torie doesn't wear a distracting jacket today! (End of fashion comment so as not to annoy those who want pure news).

[Carolinamom]

RE Chirac.....words fail me.

[clouda]

Yes!!

[Lauratealeaf]

Re Chirac ... censors would flail me.
