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!

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...
Mmmmmmm ... gravy!
With a chit-chat, wanky rant
Give a dog a bone
This ol'gal goes rolling home.
Hmmm. Now this brings up a very interesting thought. All of these warehouses of chemical drums, potential WMD warheads, mobile bio labs, and now the underground nuclear facility... NONE of them were bombed by us. We bombed the heck out of that country. We had something like 4000? 6000? 8000? targets before we started, not including targets of opportunity.
Sounds like we knew EXACTLY what was in those facilities, and we didn't want to blow them up (a) so we wouldn't disperse NBC into the atmosphere and cause a disaster, and (b) so we could document the AlJazeerus out of it so all the would would know the truth.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
Thread relevance index: maybe 1.2 (scale of 10).
In the interest of reducing the line-count of ESADMF replies, miscellaneous flames, and other personal attacks on the SitRoom thread, all hands are urged to consider using the unofficial Black Pony Codes* where appropriate, to avoid offending those who would prefer a leaner, meaner thread.
*"Black Ponies" were OV-10 "Broncos," really bad-a$$ dual-turboprop Navy CAS aircraft used in Vietnam, armed with guns and 8" Zuni rockets and dearly loved by PBR sailors!
Tragically as mankind moves forward..we have these ancient thought machinations which enammour masses of people to attack us ...like the Amalekites who fell upon the straglers and the infirm in Israels train as they left Egypt for a new land.
There is vision which leads to life...and then there is just death,
a reality which only understands taking.
that is the funniest thing I ever heard...may I borrow that one??
They've started pushing certain angles in the briefings. Showing videos of humanitarian aid. Telling stories of atrocities and such.
I was very gratified to see the two minute video production MSNBC came up with yesterday in honor of yesterday's events. They even titled it "Beautiful Day" and it was so well done. Rumsfeld gave an excellent statement yesterday to open the briefing. It was like a speech and included a quote from George Washington. Well, MSNBC incorporated his voice, as well as others like Dick Cheney, into this video piece.
I do think they are savvy in this area. I also think they'll gauge what points to push if they see it isn't getting attention or is being distorted (which happens all the time). So, I do not think they'll let facts get buried, and we have not heard the last of that.
