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...

[Not A Snowbird]

It was on our radio news station, KOMO AM 1000. I think it's either ABC or CNN radio news (go figure.) If it's not, I'll correct myself. Moroons.

[glock rocks]

top of this page... right below "click here to read article"

[RooRoobird14]

Didn't recognize the reporter - male (IMO a definite candidate for Saddam's shower!).

Musta been a Frog reporter for LeMonde. LOL

[Cate]

..Egyptian television... Who are the governments giving aid to Saddam? Rumsfeld- there are two things that happened, one is where countries that have supplied Iraq w/military capabilities that we wish he didn't have, Such as Syria, that was one .... second is a little more nebulous, our goal was not to have a war, that is why Pres Bush went out of his way to give warnings...we would be all better off the sooner it was over the better. .. other countries were giving encouragement for cease fire... discouraging the people from rising up against Saddam...

[steveegg]

I wonder if the guy with the car alarm's getting faster. It took 2 seconds for him to kill it this time.

[Miss Marple]

Now Rummy is saying that the stories (fromour press, although he doesn't say) about cease-fires, exile, etc. KEPT PEOPLE FROM RISING UP!!

ANOTHER SMACKDOWN OF THE PRESS!!!

[Howlin]

WOW.......CNN leaves Rumsfeld to go thte WMD site!

[Miss Marple]

HA!!!! Friendly fire incident question!!

I now have predicted two of them!!

[Consort]

The Boston Globe:

Rumsfeld has prodded the military for decades to be quicker and smarter, and the battle plan for Iraq is more than just a tactical blueprint: It's the fulfillment of his vision for the balancing of troops and high-tech weapons.

Rumsfeld has nurtured them for decades, from his tenure as the nation's youngest defense secretary in 1975 and 1976, through years on advisory panels, to his return engagement as the oldest defense secretary.

[Catspaw]

I agree--we could tape the Big Snap, then run it & rerun it on an endless loop.

[Fracas]

LOL. I know....I was answering the question about Helen's attendance. I don't see her...do you?

Reporters have moved on to Friendly Fire. Sigh.

[Howlin]

CNN switched to LIVE photos of the WMD.

[Not A Snowbird]

"I now have predicted two of them!! "

You're on fire today!

[Cate]

Gen Meyers... no evidence that WMDs have been moved to another country....

Is anyone in US gov being held accountable for bombs being dropped in error, Gen Meyers, central command is taking care of this... if they determine that it was done accidentally.... we are waiting for all the facts.. every circumstance is different, we have to go through the investigation, we will find out if someone needs to be held accountable.... they are ongoing, unaware of any decisions being made at this time...

[Howlin]

They drag her out for Ari at the White House!

[RooRoobird14]

LOL, sounds like Rummy is leaving death, destruction and mayhem on the battlefield (the briefing room)today.

Just outstanding!!!!

[Mrs.Liberty]

DOH! Thanks! I never pay attention to the top links!

[steveegg]

CNN - There are 2 bunkers. One was tested with the Fox chemical recon vehicle and came back negative. The other, tested with the Fox, came back positive for both blister and nerve agents. More tests will be undertaken.

[epluribus_2]

I think the excitement and anti-climax of all these WMD reports are kind of like the first reports of exit polls in November when you started to get the feeling that - whoa - that's great - but are tense ... after hours of such reports eventually a graceful realization descends on you that this much bigger and better than you had hoped for and that history is being written in stone before your eyes - and it's not the kind of history the NYT, CNN, or the Democrats are going to like living with.

[Miss Marple]

Darn, the last question is "when do you declare victory?"

Of course, the democrats want to declare victory so they can get on their talking points of why this war wasn't necessary but Bush screwed up the diplomacy. (Also, they desperately want to whine about the economy.)
