Various | 3/27/2003 | Me

Posted on 03/26/2003 9:04:14 PM PST by Centurion2000

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...

And talk about idiots. Who gave the command to drive tank columns south of BAG and out of Bassra? Talk about fish in a barrel.

Well, I just checked at snopes.com, debunker of all urban legends, and it the status of this one is TRUE

Sears is one of many companies who go above and beyond what is required by law for their reservists. Snopes has a list of all the companies on their website. Go to www.snopes.com, and search on Sears

They get my vote (and shopping dollars)!

Watching the NCAA tournament, CBS had a "War Headlines" where they showed video of the paratrooper jump last night. After seeing the D-Day jumps portrayed in Band of Brothers, I can't imagine how scary that must be. God bless them for serving our country.

Saw a report from one of the carriers saying that the coalition planes were "dropping bombs as fast as we can load them."

Can someone summerize the list of succesful Iraqi air force manuvers of the day?

Iraqi Air Force roundel and fin flash.

No Iraqi planes lost today.
Maybe no planes left to lose.

UPS has also done this. The president of their company was on and he said they could possibly lose 4000 employees if all were called up. He said their jobs would be held open for them anad they would not hire extras, but rather go with overtime, etc. I was very impressed. (This was on Neil Cavuto's show yesterday, I believe.)

She (lady reporter ) said some kind of plane starting with a C. Lot of help I am. Sorry. I was just passing by the channel and they were talking about the paratroopers. I couldn't believe she was talking about regular flights.

Regarding the paratroopers from yesterday, what does "ten on a stick" mean?

Here's a link of those companies that really do support our reservists. We need to let them know we support them also!
