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. 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 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!

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...

[Fledermaus]

Then you will be chapter ONE!

If you can't find fast news on a computer, that's not our fault.

And it says "SITUATION ROOM - LIVE THREAD"...exactly how does that imply live news?

And now to totally finish off this tired subject that some of you get stuck in between your cheeks: if you don't like it - DON'T READ IT! START YOUR OWN THREAD!

I can't believe we are freeing people in Iraq and people in America are clueless about the concept.

Mommayev looks like my wife. I try to avoid her when she has the sword out like that though.

Sean was trying to get McCain to make denigrating comments about the democrats, citing Nancy Pelosi's stupid statue comment. McCain wanted to talk about POW's and military tactics and the performance of the troops. It was like listening to two different converstations.

Thank you for describing the interchange...I'd be interested in what my senator (who has been redeeming himself slowly but surely) had to say on those subjects.

Pelosi's comments can sit there, as they speak volumes without piling on by public officials.

[Fledermaus]

It's not a "Sean" thing. I don't know of one reporter that didn't ask every Republican about Lott's comments. That was the first question out of the tube!

[strela]

If Greta is smart enough to take a Syrian ambassador apart, she is smart enough to repudiate that nut cult "religion" (Scientology) she practices, perhaps saving others from poverty, humiliation, brainwashing, physical abuse, and even death.

[TigersEye]

Like the joke about a guy and gal, "would you sleep with me for $1 million?" ...you probably know it.

I get the gist of your post but, no, I don't know the joke.

[Miss Marple]

I didn't catch all of the conversation, but Senator McCain did talk about how credit should go to President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld, and most especially to the troops. He is quite proud of them.

Talk about POW's focussed on ho we MUST find them and how knowing that people are looking for you can keep you going. He seemsed very reasonable, and perhaps has gotten some of the bitterness out of his system.

[Fledermaus]

check your mail (oops, sorry cyncooper)

Ollie Alert....coming up on Fox News

[Lauratealeaf]

I wonder where those vehicles went, and if the Predator followed them.

I rather like the idea of Hussein on the lam, chased from pillar to post by gunfire and bombs, living in constant fear.

It's a good thing.

Good....Saddam being chased by gunfire and bombs.

Better....Saddam being apprehended by the coalition forces.

Best....Saddam being turned over the Iraqi people for a short trial

and long, excruciating torture before he is killed.

Good. Better. Best.

Never rest

'til good be better

And better best!

[TigersEye]

ROTFLOL Yes I have heard it. Bad memory for jokes. Heh, that's exactly what a liberal is. Good analogy. ; )

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

That was more of a creed than a rant...and very moving, aloysius.

They may, because of their allegiance to the exercise of power, see all statements and acts as guided only by selfishness and self-interest. That is the critical difference. The Truth has nothing to fear from Freedom. Power has everything to fear from Truth unless it is the right-ordered exercise of power in the service of the Good, the Right, the Just, the Beautiful, the TRUTH.

Thank you.

On this note, I will say good night.

[pitinkie]

I think the Saudi spindoctor is the funniest looking!

[Daniel Ramsey]

Ollie brings tears to my eyes.

[Light Speed]

Yes....scantilly dressed women running around with swords,
Like Xena and Pamela Anderson.

"Don't worry about how your holding that sword hun...no ones looking at the sword anyway "!...Grin : )

Wasn't there something about scantilly dressed women statues and Congress?

Media never fails to find a good story .

[Socratic]

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts which express noble sentiments.

[overtaxed_canadian]

Did I hear Ollie correctly when he said that FIFTY Marines were injured yesterday? Yikes.

[Jackie-O]

Ignore...by the way you have frepmail! ;0)

[Aaron0617]

Did I hear Ollie correctly when he said that FIFTY Marines were injured yesterday? Yikes.

Yep, 50 casualties of that 1 KIA. Thanks to the body armour again. No thanks to the Syrians.
