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...

Byrd was probably muttering pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty...

[AppyPappy]

Byrd saw Rummy speaking to a black woman.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Got an e-mail back from their editor asking what they should do...

Tell him to listen to SOD Rumsfeld's suggestions - verify any questionable stories w/ our own honorable experts at CENTCOM and the Pentagon (we do NOT purposely shoot civilians or block humanitarian aid, duh!), and then preface reports from people known to willfully misinform, with "Joe the village liar said,..."

I think they don't care that using chemcial weapons will hurt them more; they're dead men anyway.

[Dog]

Well looks like our geeks are kicking butt in cyber space also.....

Let Freedom Ring!!

[BulletBobCo]

CENTCOM is calling Blix a freaking liar.

[mewzilla]

I say we make with the wooden stake and garlic now.

[steveegg]

US ambassador to the LN II on now (CNN, possibly others).

[Trust but Verify]

Oooh. This oughta be good.

[Howlin]

CNN also reporting that the "new" helicopter pictures from today appear to the be same one that was down before, just from a different angle.

[GOPyouth]

I'm deeply saddened.

[waspguy]

How exactly is Syria planning on getting these materials to the Iraqi army I wonder?

They can't fly them in, they can't drive them in, and the ports are all closed.

Sounds like noise meant to soothe the savage Arab street to me.

[The Wizard]

My guess is Nutcase Byrd was abusing his office by attacking GWB's Secretary Of Defense for purly nutcase reasons....

[osires13]

Iraq accused US of trying to exterminate Iraqi people...

[Mo1]

Cnn is reporting on the UN Briefing of the UN Ambas.

Apparently Jesse Jackson showed up at the UN today

[mewzilla]

If that ticks you off, you don't want to know what retired Gen. Michael Short said on MSNBC this morning. Short basically said that Gen. Brooks was not being accurate (called Brooks a liar to my mind) when Gen. Brooks said this morning that we'd accounted for our ordnance, and that none of that ordnance had hit the market in Baghdad. Short was saying there was no way we could tell. Brooks said we'd accounted for our ordnance. Three guesses who I believe.

[retrokitten]

CNN mentioned that Bryd and Rummy had a few words up on the hill

I'm sure that would have been sweet to see!

[Grenada]

US anbassador to to UN on discussing why they walked out---Iraqi proposturous suggestions.

He is also discussing the "road map."

[Dog]

Jesse Jackson.....wants to have a pause in the war so we can feed the Iraqi people...

Awwwww Jesse wants some face time....all this worldwide media coverage and he isn't involved...
