***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 6 - LIVE THREAD***
Multiple ^ | 25 March 2003 | Various

Posted on 03/24/2003 8:59:27 PM PST by An.American.Expatriate

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:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running over the weekend and Monday, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Beeb--loud explosions in Basra. Some kind of informants on the ground. The Brits are moving. They will supply all the water, etc. they need once they secure the town.

The Beeb is showing tanks tossing in rounds, but they're daylight photos so it may be stock footage/footage shot earlier (but it's cool footage nonetheless). Beeb reporter is on the outskirts of town.

Major Bob says uprising will help secure the roads.

Major Bob talking about the mechanized advance...historic. Has to explain that we will see rotary aircraft, apologizes for only having a picture of Blackhawk and not an Apache, talks about thinning the opposition.

The market is very stable today

Have you been drinking or are you perhaps over-medicated?

There would be a MASSIVE civil war amongst them if that happened. Originally, there were several versions of the Koran (some much "softer" than others), but some iman had all but the current version destroyed.

Really? Source please!

There is probably no source ... but look at the 30 Years War in the 17th century as an example of what happens when protestants and catholics get into it. Now imagine that same with war with modern weapons over two flavors of islam.

This is tribal like Afghanistan. You want a general government. The object is to unite Iraq not break it into pieces and get rid of some of the hate. We want them all on the same page.

"STRING OF CURSES & PROFANITIES!!! I'm at work. No Fox until the lunch hour. I'm stuck with the Beeb."

I sympathize... also stuck at work, cubicle bound and reception challenged. Thank you, Freepers, for keeping me in the loop!
