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...

[Jaded]

Who will bring legitimacy to Koffi and his band of ne'er do wells?

The battle plan:
The problem with the Iraqi army is that they were using Russian defense tactics:

1. Engage the enemy.
2. Draw him into your territory.
3. Wait until winter sets in.


The Iraqi verions of the classic army regulations can be summarized as:

1. If it doesn't move, hide behind it.
2. If it does move, surrender to it.

Iraqi Air Force motto:

I came, I saw, Iran

[Anomaly in Illinois]

They just showed Sadaam's gold plated faucet bathroom on FNC, LOL!

[Nam Vet]

The co-hosts and keggers have had a pretty hectic week. They're 'Bushed'. (Along with the rest of Baghdad.)

Nam Vet

[glock rocks]

Noooooooo.

major bob is a spec ops retired wildman on FOX

[Timeout]

Never mind...Major Bob...Fox News military analyst, turtlenecks and goatee, right?

[maica]

I do not believe this. The news just came on and the lead story is speculation that some people may believe we "planted" the WMD because we were "desperate" to find something. I have nothing in my cubicle to throw. I think I'll go to lunch. Grrr!



***

Hope you had a refreshing lunch! FYI, regarding the findings of WMD, a reporter asked R if they had planned for anything comparable to 'evidence chain of custody' as it is known in police work. R assured the reporters that , in so far as possible on a battlefield, of course they had established chain of custody procedures.

It seems like there is an IQ test for Pentagon reporters with a (not very high) maximum point level cutoff!

[null and void]

Sic Semper Tyrannis!!!

An odd phrase coming from a YANKEE...

[epluribus_2]

I finally caught up! Just saw a scroll on the bottom of Fox about Koffi. He said that the UN would bring legitimacy to a interm government and reconstruction in Iraq...........LEGITIMACY! hahahaha" ...in a way that a government of free, democratic iraqi's (who love the U.S.) would not.

[Howlin]

So is this stuff they found the real deal?

[Carolina]

What's this about a redirected missile?

At the Pentagon briefing, Gen. Myers showed a video of a strike that was aborted along a bridge. A civilian showed up behind a military target. The missile was redirected to hit the river.

The press talking point is that this was propaganda since bombs are falling on private homes.

[mhking]

Is Major Bob the same as Baghdad Bob?

No, Major Bob is FNC's "map guy" who talks tactics with the host dujour. Bagdad Bob is....well, let's point to this newly located picture of Baghdad Bob...

[EllaMinnow]

What news was that?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the SkyNews e-mail addee. My letter's on the way as well. We have a long battle ahead outside of Iraq. GRRR.

[glock rocks]

affirm.

[AppyPappy]

They just showed Sadaam's gold plated faucet bathroom on FNC,

I'm surprised that haven't come across Tammie Faye.

[Sabertooth]

FYI...

WMDs, Nerve Agents, and Organophosphates
(about those Iraqi "pesticides"...)

[retrokitten]

Is Major Bob the same as Baghdad Bob?

ROTFLMAO!! NO!!

Major Bob- Major Bob Bevelacqua, Former Green Beret, Fox News Analyst
Baghdad Bob- Iraqi Minister of (Dis)Iinformation

[dfwgator]

I expect to see Saddam's palace on the next installment of MTV Cribs.

[Anomaly in Illinois]

I did hear she was a decorating consultant......(lol)

[Mo1]

Jed Babbin's Warblog

The French and Russians are quite desperate to regain control of the Iraqi oil fields they had under contract with Saddam. We should do everything we can to prevent that. Iraqi oil should pay for rebuilding Iraq, and also for some of the costs we incurred in the campaign. This will, I hope, be the desire of the new Iraqi government. The U.N. has proved its irrelevance. It is now up to us to enforce it.

Yep, keep the UN out of it ... with the oil alone, the Iraqi people will have more then enough money to rebuild their country

The UN kind of reminds of the Dems last year when we all got out tax rebates .. telling us to mail our rebates to their org. and they will distribute the money for us.

Like we don't know how to write a check to charities on our on
