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...

"Daschle regrets timing of comments". Notice, he doesn't regret the comments, just the timing.

What a worthless piece of human scum.

[Otta B Sleepin]

Bill said that??

He did. He was talking about the LA Times quoting on the front page a Saddam employee about the conditions inside Baghdad, esp. the so-called errant missile that hit the residential area. Bill said the LAT might as well quote Saddam himself.

Heard on CNN Radio this afternoon that CENTCOM has denied that the MOAB was used today, even though there was an earth-shattering Ka-BOOM. in Baghdad earlier.

I think the Mother is being saved for a "special" occasion.

[MEG33]

BBC's own embedded reporter complained to the head office about biased coverage.

[Fledermaus]

Isn't that in a Pink Floyd lyric? "Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?" he he

[GOPyouth]

The MOAB will not be used in the center of Baghdad. If we were going to do that, we would have already been leveling that place.

[Fledermaus]

You mean they found someone with a spine? Amazing!

[Otta B Sleepin]

I regret Daschle.

[GOPyouth]

Mother do you think they'll try and break my balls? :)

[Fledermaus]

I'm sure he's saddened and disappointed with you!

[Sir_Ed]

If our bunker busters penetrate 20 feet of concrete at a time, and Sadomy's bunker is 180 feet deep...doesn't that mean we'll NEVER be able to hit him?

[GOPyouth]

I deeply regret Dashle.

Bill mentioned this last night, too. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it later in his show.

[Dog]

Listen to this ......a 5,000 lb Bunker Buster was dropped overnite in BAG......sources are telling NBC..

[strela]

O'Reilly, you twit ... "decimated" means that only 10 percent of something is destroyed. Learn some freaking history.

[Grenada]

People, I am deeply saddend by your remarks...I never tire of it! ;')

[Otta B Sleepin]

I'm sure he's saddened and disappointed with you!

Heh heh - you just made my day!
