Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

Guess Kelly's unit is done pausing. He said they are moving and he can't say where.

Can't be moving, Reuters reported a 4-6 day pause, could their info be wrong? /sarcasm..

[Green]

hey....they need to stop...they are supposed to be on a 4-6 day pause (/sarcasm )

Geraldo reported the other day that an Artesian well was found in western Iraq, and the military had already pumped several gazillion gallons out of it.

[Peach]

Wasn't much of a pause, was it? Dis-information campaigns are wonderful things.

[Henchster]

Greg Kelly saying they are on a "major movement."

They're either finally getting relief from the notorious MREs, or Reuters call of a 4-6 day pause were horsesh!t.

Later, Miss M.

[Sacajaweau]

When is the next moonless night??

[Tree of Liberty]

Reuters is fallible? Surely you jest.

[Green]

Well, if nothing else..it sure had the media in a tailspin last night! LOL

[starfish]

I agree about their egos.
It doesn't matter,the henchman are working away and carrying on the evil plans.
I'm finding this web is woven tighter than I thought.

April 1. There is significant darkness for several days around that date, too.

[Henchster]

"Reuters is fallible? Surely you jest. "

No REALYY! I heard it on a CNN report from a reporter from Al-Jazeera, who was commenting on a story in the Washington Post, so it must be true! {;^)

Nothing like a little "pause and starvation" to bring the RG out into the open. They'd have to have figured that our pausing would allow them to consolidate and reinforce. Now that we see where they're headed, we can move to cut them off.

[Green]

Actually, very early on when this first came out last night the report was referred to on Fox as coming from a Reuters reporter that was in Iraq. Now...that makes ya really wonder who the source was of this disinformation

[r9etb]

When is the next moonless night??

Tuesday, April 1st. Fitting, eh?

[Straight Vermonter]

Right. A Marston Mat. Its been in use since the beginning of aviation. It would seem to be just the thing for the Apaches. There is probably some bright boy who could even come up with a much lighter weight material that could do the same job since the mat's primary drawback is weight.

[muslims=borg]

Dont know if this is old news but Fox saying Allied choppers attacking RG near Bag

[Sacajaweau]

Praying the weather stays right for us.
