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!

People are so tired of the specific leftist agenda spewed by the alphabetsoupchannels, they are turning away. Most now have the alternative, and they are turning to it. It happens to be Fox. The numbers speak volumes.

You need to freep from work.

First I need a job...

Anyone looking for a sharp semiconductor wafer process engineer? I've got lots of experience in MEMS, LED, flat pannel display, and IC processing...

[Cate]

I just got done reading the thread about the history of FR. My screen name should be Mrs. Ignorance and Bliss as I had no idea the hardships that Jim and his family have gone through. Its an ideal example of how we should all count our own blessings in our lives.

[null and void]

Ministry of Planning is the building currently burning. [Ministry of Finance was burned a couple of days ago.]

I wonder who set the fires? france? Germany? Russia?

Can't have that pesky paper trail...

[ken5050]

Must read.....#744 on the CNN article thread....it'll warm the cockles of your heart..

[Lauratealeaf]

The good Barbaras...are you keeping the list? Can you post it?

I've been out and about for a while this morning so am just getting back to the needle. I don't have the list, just remember seeing it a while back on one of our threads.

But, there are at least three good Barbaras that I know of.....Barbara Bush, Barbara Olsen, Barbara Stanley.....

Wonder if the name Barabas has anything to do with the bad Barbaras?

[Carolina]

Hey, nully. Just got back in. Anything new? My Fox alert said there are fires in Baghdad and the BeebDweebs are whining about anarchy and power vacuum. They'll whine about this just like quagmire and bogged down and stiff resistance and humanitarian crisis and....

OT, but have noticed that the mouseover showing freeper number has disappeared?

[cyncooper]

Listening to Ari and the circus. What does Lott have to do with this? What comment? What is she talking about? I'm kornfuzed.

I tuned back in briefly to the end of Ari's briefing and heard the tail end of the reporterette's question that referenced Lott.

The other day evidently some Republican congresswoman made remarks that some alleged were racist in some way. I read freeper references but never did hear or read what the exact comment was. So I'm going to guess this question was meant to take this comment and see if she can somehow make a linkage between the congresswoman and the president. You know, she's a racist, so he's a racist, too.

Just when you think they haven't gone as low as they can...

[Jackie-O]

Thanks, CBS radio said the Palastine...I find them to be a little off at times. I usually ask here when I hear reports while I'm at work because I know you are all on the ball!

[null and void]

OT, but have noticed that the mouseover showing freeper number has disappeared?

New profile pages happened a little after midnight.

We're still in a quagmire anarchy/looting.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Why reward so many of these Clymers with a press pass? Terry Moran? Sorry, your name is not on the list. John Poderitz, Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, Byron York, Thomas Sowell, David Limbaugh, Peggy Noonan, Mark Steyn, Marvin Olasky, Jim Angle and Bill Sammon, of course,...take a seat.

Replacing corrupt leftist whiners with ethical adults when a Republican President is elected would teach America (and the world) about this press, too...and we'd be spared Wanker Room for 4, 8...who knows how many years. (^:

[Mrs.Liberty]

The coalition did not take into consideration that there would be looting, thus, the war plan is a failure. </sarcasm>

[Orlando]

We need to protect these key sites in Baghdad. Museums MUST be Protected, and I pray it's not been looted!

[null and void]

Finally caught up. Back to job hunting. BBL...

[Lauratealeaf]

Working in the media made me cynical; watching it makes me sick.

Great post! You expressed what I think so well.

[johnb838]

CLEARLY the warplan has failed. CLEARLY they're trying to make up a new war plan"

the traitor arnett

[retrokitten]

I agree that would be wonderful, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

[ken5050]

FYI....it's rumored that soon the Fox network...NOt the FNC, but the broadcast network, will start showing the first 30 minutes of Brit's show as an evening news program...that should quintuple the audience...they've wanted to do this for a while...but the individual stations in the network have there own local news shows, and they're very profitable...and Murdock doesn't want to upset his affiliates...OTOH..he'll look silly if most local stations don't take the feed....

[Timeout]

Hey, y'all!

Sorry I've been AWOL the last 2 days, but I've got taxes to get done and haven't had a moment to catch up.

Would someone Please, please, please give me a short update: WMD credible reports, has Tikrit fallen, Baghdad update, etc. Has Dubya made any appearances?

Thanks in advance.....this is KILLING ME!!!!!!!!

[Carolina]

Since we're on the subject of failed war plans, here's Victor Davis Hanson's view:

The Ironies of War

--snip--

Thus it is nearly impossible to recall a similar advance that has traveled so far, so fast, with so few losses, without major shortages of fuel, ammunition, and food — and without being parasitic on the surrounding countryside. What happened the last three weeks is unprecedented in military history.

--snip--

We have no idea of the nature of eventual peace settlements, but already the roll into Baghdad as an act of liberation and a military masterpiece will rank along with Epaminondas’s trek to free the helots, Sherman’s March, and Patton’s long race to the German border. Meanwhile, everyone seems either to have criticized or belatedly praised “the plan”; but so far no one seems to quite know how 250,000 brave American, British, and Australian young men and women in the field are actually pulling it off.

Victor Davis Hanson rocks!!
