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...

Yes, I could do without many of these analyst and goofball reporters, but then without them we wouldn't be able to enjoy these exchanges with Rummy.
The guy is inspiring!
Love you, love you, Rummy!

Tmeline never implied says Myers.

I'd put a bowl of suckers by the exit door for the reporters. It'll be months before they catch on.

argh
reporter throwing the "Why didn't shock and awe start and finish the war" question at Air Force important guy.

"If I looked out to the south and saw an army unit on the edge of BAG, I don't know if I'd be shocked, but I would definately be concerned"

quote of the day

My favorite moment....... was Rummy telling the reporters that the American people understand what is going on...take that press..

[Quilla]

Reporter on Sky News is certainly not a fan. She just introduced a clip of Bush's speech earlier by saying "The President who sold us a war is now dictating the war."

Somebody slap her.

[Dog]

Basra update....

Fox via Sky reporter on scene....

Dozens of building's on fire...

[Mo1]

was that the Rachel chick that is on now?

and a diaper genie (tm).

[Miss Marple]

I liked that answer about how "every day, the American public sees reports from your colleagues in the field about these young people who are doing their job with great skill and courage.."

Now the Pentagon press will be whining to their bosses that the embedded reporters get more air time. HA!

We will turn them against each other...President George W. Bush.

[Inspectorette]

I would love to see Rummy square off with Helen.

I'd love to see that too, but it ain't gonna happen. She's at the White House, he's at the Pentagon. Might be just as well.

[Dog]

Thank god those embedded reporters are there....

[epluribus_2]

found the one I used to use for my 5 year old while clearing out a storage spare room. God I hope it's empty.

[Quilla]

Yes, she also mentioned that the stock market had dove 300 points. Guess she didn't bother to check today's performance only wanting to repeat gloom and doom.

[Carolina]

Saying that opposition to war is rising here Stateside??? What poll is she referring to???

[The Wizard]

I missed Rummy's closing line, but it made the point..
