Just forwarded that to everyone in my email list. Thanks MM

A sleepy good morning to the Situation Room! I was reading last nights thread and saw that everyone got a good tounge lashing for straying from the war....LMAO!!

I think I saw Saddam at the 7-11 eatin' a jelly donut...
With Elvis.

[retrokitten]

Have you guys checked out your profile pages?? They are so cool looking!!

[Miss Marple]

I can accept that they didn't say anything about the atrocities to protect Iraqi employees. What I cannot accept is their obvious anti-war stance when it was obvious we were going in...and that they have continued it KNOWING that President Bush was right all along.

Oh no.... we're not going to start seeing Velvet Saddam paintings at garage sales, are we?

[LauraJean]

Fox news is going to be talking to a former Iraqui soldier after the break

Yeah, it surprised me. But they look really nice. I wonder if we can do backgrounds again...

Oh, and the food fight last night was hysterical.

[Carolina]

Gotta run some errands. Be back in a little while.

When Tikrit falls is that the end of the live thread? Pro'lly not; the war itself ain't over - I'd guess that the live thread will stick around in some form for awhile. Once other news begins to overshadown the war, I'd figure the live thread will begin to dwindle somewhat in terms of size and "importance". Live threads tend to pop up for all sorts of breaking events. If you've become addicted to FR, there's plenty to occupy your time once things on the war front die down.

I think there will be some MOP UP AREAS.. like maybe Syria & Iran..

Our first two cleveland young men will be buried tomorrow.. A rather liberal jouranalist made the great (shock, shock) suggestion of support by lining streets around church & cemet. with Flag waving supporters.

I will do that. Please do the same in your area

Both are at same time .. I will go to the funeral of the young black man. Both were found in grave where Jessica Lynch was rescued

[BagCamAddict]

Wow - the CBS cam just had a neat scene of Iraqis actually playing music / singing / dancing in the streets... drums, whistles.... Happy Iraqis. Check it out now... they might show it again.

I read thru the thrashing too Kittn.. I was pretty out of it.. sinus, super bad news.... did't post . but did read ALL of sevral threads. Still a bit out of it but some much med inside that I can semi-function

I think when peole are at this too long they do need to get out & take a hike, do something physical, etc & return with more open/considerate attitude.

I was proud of you all holding your ground - Boston RS undies & all !

[Air Force Born]

I like to think that the Good Lord has a very special place for those men. Very close to Him.

[retrokitten]

I have sinus problems, too, so I really can sympathize. They are not fun. I hit the hay kind of early so I missed it, but the red sox undies was really funny!

BTW, I kept my word. I said Friday I would make a donation to FR and I just did! I'm not a FReeloader anymore.

[MEG33]

Bless you Dolly and God comfort the mourning.

[MEG33]

Amen

[BagCamAddict]

I hope there is a tremendous show of support for both services... the entire country mourns with you and the famiies of those Fallen Heroes.

[BagCamAddict]

CBS CAM QUICK !!

Iraqis celebrating:

"We love you BUSH"
"Viva America"
"Thank you BUSH"
"No more Saddam"

I started with a radio shack tsr II with the cassette radio for memory, no lower case. Thought I went to heaven when the floppy came out.
