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 and keep it running, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

It also looks like the report filed by the military reporter that was posted on the defense web site was correct also. It said she had gun shot wounds, but then the father said in an interview that she wasn't and the dr at the hospital said in press briefing that she had no gun shot wounds.

Surely she told the drs she had been shot. I don't understand how there could have been so much confusion about this with drs initially saying no gun shots then now saying there is.

Look at pmsnbc with that "msnbc exclusive video" image up top. hmmmm Did they have any images in the corner when they were using the fnc feed of our guys in downtown baghdad (which they aired 10 hours after FNC did?) hmmmmm?

[Air Force Born]

Guess all he heard was "FIRE!" It really is sad that that SOB will murdere his people by throwing them at our troops. These are the men and women thst Iraq will need to rebuild that country.

[Catspaw]

Kay said PLEASE DON'T BLOW ANYTHING UP.

it's a treasure trove.

[White Mountain]

Have we heard from Ollie North since last night on Hannity?

[AppyPappy]

MSNBC showing chemical dispersal munitions at the 120 bunkers found earlier

[spectre]

They have just made an extraordinary find of ammunition with filler plugs to disperse chemical or biological weapons. MSNBC showing tape.

We don't know if they are "filled" or not yet.

Fantasy: After things settle down,the UN, the frogs, the krauts, and the bolsheviks try to get back in and the Iraqi people say "We dont want you! STFU and get the hell out of here. You helped keep us in bondage."

Could happen... like the "not well brought up" countries of EasternNew Europe.

[cgbg]

dumbest question

The media is always ready to remind us of their First Amendment rights.

But their reporting is the equivalent of a guest in your house pooping on the living room carpet.

It is certainly not a violation of the constitution but it is just grotesque.

That is how I view the major media (except Fox) reporting of this war.

They have pooped in our living room and we should not invite them back so they can do it again.

[Timeout]

I'm going to repeat my earlier post of one of Renuart's answers. I think it was BIG NEWS...but what?

AP TV News: Can you tell us what "favorable" means with regard to the first strike on the leadership on the 21st of March".

Col. Renuart: "Favorable" means really good! (laughs all around). We hit exactly where we wanted to go and (smiling broadly) we're pretty sure that one of the targets we were aiming at, we got. I'm gonna leave it there".

[Catspaw]

Some idiot tried to attack an Abrams with a FIRE TRUCK!

You're kidding! I guess the white Toyota trucks weren't lethal enough, huh?

[The Wizard]

I'm a US soldier, too

[debg]

repeating this in case you all missed it. it was statement from baghdad bob just moments ago:

"destroy them with the written instructions you have been given"

arghh

and something about shave their knees.

[The Wizard]

first class, thank you so much

[Catspaw]

It might have been Judge Napolitano on Fox yesterday, but according to the Geneva Convention, the victors--in this case, it'd be the coalition forces--have an obligation to rebuild the defeated country. Given that France, Germany, Russia and China weren't part of the coalition, they're s--- out of luck.

[Green]

so...more propoganda or a real instruction? who can hear him anyway that is out in the field?

[najida]

Shave their knees? How personal ;)

[johnb838]

You forgot his closing line: "Nice try, though!"
