Good Morning.

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

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

I don't remember..and I deleted the email, too :o(

Major Bob is singing Gloria? What?

[MEG33]

He called it selective looting.Dr Bob

[two23]

you mean like GEE-ELL-OH-ARE-EYE-A-AAAAAAA?

[tentmaker]

Hey, I think we should start a campaign to get "Baghdad Bob" his own talk show when the war is over. Anybody have any ideas how we can do this?

I vote for Game Show Host... The Weakest Link.
He can say to people "You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye!"

Or... he could take over as guest host on Survivor.

[retrokitten]

Is that the U2 version? Or the Laura Branigan verison? Or even the Van Morrison version? I'm very confused.

[angelwings49]

Or, guest host on the new version of "To Tell the Truth!"

[retrokitten]

Thousands Rally at Ground Zero in Support of War

[BagCamAddict]

I was kind of suprised that we haven't heard from Major Bob lately.

Ok, I've got a conspircy theory:

Does anyone besides me think that our SpecOps guys grabbed up Baghdad Bob and The Minders in the middle of the night yesterday?

It was awfully coincidental that the minders didn't show up on the day that we just happened to circle the wagons around the statue and pull it down... so those journalists could get down into the circle and film that historic event up close.

All your Minders are belong to us.

"This is not. I'm willing to be mistaken, but I wouldn't have
bet that field equipment can distinguish between radioactive
isotopes. The "weapons grade" also causes my BS meter to
increment. "

Virtually any combination of plutonium isotopes -- the different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei -- can be used to make a nuclear weapon. Not all combinations, however, are equally convenient or efficient.

The most common isotope, plutonium-239, is produced when the most common isotope of uranium, uranium-238, absorbs a neutron and then quickly decays to plutonium. It is this plutonium isotope that is most useful in making nuclear weapons, and it is produced in varying quantities in virtually all operating nuclear reactors.

Desert Shower.

[retrokitten]

Baghdad Bob= Iraqi Minister of information
Major Bob= Major Bob Bevelacqua, former Green Beret, Fox News Military Analyst

Other then that, I think your theory is plausible.

[pitinkie]

No Dr. Bob off camera.

[pitinkie]

YES! He said "Thats a great song"

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Koffee = UN Wanketary General

(^:

I called Tom Daschle Minority Wanker, but of course he's the Majority Wanker of the Wankers of Mass Obstruction.

Jesse Jackson would be the Minority Wanker.

Smoking Gun = SoreWankerman Talking Point, part of the larger Vast Wanker Conspiracy.

I'm back. (^;

[pitinkie]

Its old..like 70's?

[retrokitten]

LOL! Majob Bob doesn't seem like the singin' type!

[pitinkie]

Gunshot!
