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:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

...those downrange can put their head between their legs and kiss their @$$ goodbye.

Oh, good, now I am going to have to stay up late!

[Green]

Evening all....am I the only one that got absolutely nothing done today and was very put out when someone wanted me to do something (like cook supper?)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Take a step back and put this War in a historical perspective...

I think that "first night's strike" will go down in History as one of the best quick adapting strategic moves, ever !!

What do you think...?

[Consort]

Saddam is taxidermy fodder.

[Dog]

Ping me to any breaking news....I have to get some sleep ......back to work in the am.

See you all tomorrow.

Nice, very nice story.
A fella I know in the spook transport business met a few of these SAS blokes in 91. My impression from books and reports is that they give recruits a psych test and if you fail you're in. Guys in trucks with guns on the attack. YeeeHaaa.

Hi Green...

It's "theory of Saddam's fate" night in the Situation room.......

[Green]

So I see...Miss Marple summarized the various scenarios quite nicely

[Dog]

Another theory before I go...

What if the bodyguard is the power now....and the Info dude is a front..

[stlnative]

It takes about 6 to 8 hours for them to get there from England.

It is truly interesting why Saddam's No. 1 TRUSTED Bodyguard is showing up behind the Defense Minister. (I truly believe that Saddam is dead)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

"What if the bodyguard is the power now....and the Info dude is a front.. "

Facinating.

[not-alone]

The sons part is strange, if alive would they be protecting their power more? I think you make sense as usual.

[Straight Vermonter]

I thought that night that if true it would be the intelligence coup of the century.

[Green]

My 14 yr old son (will be 15 next month) asked me today what I thought about whether the monster man was a live or dead. (yes that is what he called him ) I told him I have no idea but if he is alive and in good health, I have a hard time believing he would be able to stay away from the camera giving a live broadcast to the world. The man's ego is too big to stay hidden from the camera.
