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...

I have never heard of that class of mines.....but will research them later.

[babaloo]

Yeah, you'd think they would hide them under their civilian robes and in the baby buggies.

[Peach]

Is there a slightly different tone today among the press?

[mhking]

LOL.... He looked a little scared...

Q: You keep saying you're on timeline. What is your timeline?

Brooks: We've been planning for months, time, space and purpose. Weather impacting. Impossible to say when certain things will happen, where.

I just looked and sent a message to the Admin Guy - I did not request that anyone be banned or posts pulled so I am a bit confused. I felt that by appealing to common sense the situation would resolve itself, a few disagreed and left. I hope they return because I like a broad range of opinions and the "banter" is sometimes entertaining (to a point)...

"bearing the cost of humanitatrian aid"
not to mention the cost of the war! Koffi and his pals should have done their job to begin with!

Not if they stashes of weapons, ammo, chem suits, atropine in various safe places across Iraq (schools, hospitals). That, of course, is that the Iraqis know when the chem weapons are going to be used. We don't.

Wasn't it an interesting co-inkydink that there was a gas tanker truck parked at that market when the explosion occurred? Notice most of the press never mentioned that. I heard it on FOX this morning.

FOX- Iraqi Soldiers Now Shooting Civilians Who Refuse Conscription ^

Reporter are we there yet.......waaaaaaaaaaaaa I want you to tell me.......are we there yet??

:-)

[Peach]

That must be it - they've stashed chem suits in various locations and it doesn't mean the suits have been "left behind".

[oceanperch]

Thank You for your comments and Catspaw for the link.. Book marked.

[Carolina]

Koffi and his pals should have done their job to begin with!

Too hard!

[Dog]

Someone on the outskirts of BAG is getting pounded.....from the pictures on FOX...

[mewzilla]

Brig Den Brooks mentioned them, complete with a pic, this morning while discussing mine sweeping activities. Hope I spelled the name right. I want to know who the third country is. No-one's asked the general yet.

[Catspaw]

I swear these reporters won't be satisfied until they can print our war plans verbatim.

[The Wizard]

do these "journalists" get dumber everyday

[Carolina]

Reporter are we there yet.......waaaaaaaaaaaaa I want you to tell me.......are we there yet??

And it's not fair, he's not sharing!!!! Waaah.

[prairiebreeze]

So far, the press seems to be behaving themselves much better. WAtching....
