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 Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Combover - Peter Arnett?

No, Combover is the (former) Iraqi U.N. Ambassador.

[Warren_Piece]

Hope this works...

[Mo1]

Is that a confirmation...or what!!!!!

That will be their first question to Rummy ... how are you sure?

[RooRoobird14]

Okay, I haven't been able to monitor this thread for the last several hours What's the sichu re: the WMD's/non WMD's everyone is talking about today?

What's the latest??? Are the "WMD's" found actually the 'smoking gun'? I saw a thread about the sarin ending up being pesticide. What's the latest? Is this another false alarm?

[Cate]

Coalition forces have shown their respect for the Iraqi people. They are trying to protect the citizens and the holy sites. They are providing humanitarian aide and helping to rebuild schools. The Iraqi people are losing their fear of the regime. They are pondering life without Saddam. Coalition forces will not stop until Saddam is out of power and the people Of Iraq are in control of Iraq. A government that won't threaten Iraqi people or its neighbors.

[epluribus_2]

Combover is the Iraqi UN ambassador

[Poser]

Rummy:

(contrasting methods used by US vs. Iraqis)
Let me assure all Iraqi listening today that life without Saddam Hussein is not a distant dream.

New Iraqi government, chosen by the Iraqi people

You will be needed to build a new Iraq

[Consort]

NTV sound:

Gli Americani battono lo shit vivente fuori della Guardia Repubblicana ed il ha fatto esplodere Ali Chimico e la sua guardia di bady. Il locale uprising ed uccidono i sudditi fedeli di Saddam.

[Miss Marple]

Very cool! How did you do that?

[Timeout]

Did Rummy weep when the scroll was listing the KIAs? They took the camera off him on Fox and it sounded like he lost it.

[bvw]

That looks like a watercolor verison.

[steveegg]

Initial field tests through multiple sources (including the Pentagon) have identified sarin, talun (both nerve agents) and lewisite (blister agent related to mustard gas). It's Agency French Presse (yes, the government media of the Frogs) that's putting out the "it's just pesticide" spin.

[Orlando]

Amen !!! WE need to find our POWs !

[Warren_Piece]

Photoshop is my friend...

[Miss Marple]

I don't know...he sounded different, but I wasn't watching. (TV is in the other room.)

[Howlin]

125,000 troops inside Iraq.

Secured and using Baghdad Airport.

Of the 800 tanks they began with, they have a couple of dozen left.

[Mo1]

Got .. I added to my list

BTW .. what is Pretty Boy's real name .. Richard ???

[Poser]

Meyers:

85 brave US service members killed remind us of the heavy price of freedom (sic)

(he was at Walter Reed visiting casualties yesterday)

The battlefield has certainly shifted since the last time we were at this podium

Of the 800 plus tanks that they started with, all but a couple of dozen have been abandoned or destroyed

Iraqi people are assisting

[Cate]

Gen Meyers- the 85 people who have given their lives for the price of freedom will not be forgotten... also remember those who are missing or held prisoner... we will make every effort to find you and bring you home... more than 150 have been injured in battle. Gen Meyers has visited the wounded in the hosp also. He is amazed that their main goal is to get back with their units to continue the fight. He extends sympathy to the Fisher family, great supporters of military, Fisher Houses are donated to house the injured soldiers families, Fisher couple were killed in a plane wreck last week. ... Rep Guard has only been able to do sporatic attacks on our forces... we are restoring power to the cities in Iraq. Iraqi citizens are assisting the coalition in finding sites of WMD.

[E Rocc]

I'm keepin my post number sniping skills finely honed.

You get more "style points" when you get it in one, you know. >:)
