Operation Infinite Freedom

Link to the previous thread

Good Morning.

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

It is designed for general conversation about the ongoing war on terror, and the related 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.

But wait -- I heard last night that Jayson Blair was also responsible for yet another "lie" that was published in the NYT......something about the war -- right this minute I can't remember what it was, but it was something reported that the Pentagon denied.....perhaps it will come to me in a while.

Morning, Dog. The Red Cross blathers on:

ICRC calls for protection of Iraq’s dead

“Our concern is what happened as a result of the latest war,” said Nada Doumani, chief ICRC spokeswoman in Baghdad, “and to ensure that there will be a process to identify these bodies.”

“It’s urgent to protect what can still be identified,” she told swissinfo.

According to Doumani, hundreds of people have been pouring into the ICRC’s offices in Baghdad each day to share various kinds of information, including details of mass graves.

“It’s hard for us to give a number but we think there are at least a dozen mass graves inside Baghdad… and maybe there are even more outside the city due to the latest hostilities,” she said.

An ICRC spokesman in Geneva, Florian Westphal, said the sites contained the bodies of both civilian and military victims of the Iraq war.

“During the worst of the fighting, some of the hospitals in Baghdad had no choice but to bury the dead in the their own graveyards,” he told swissinfo.

That's right, blame the coalition. Never mind that the bodies being unearthed dated back to the Iran-Iraq War. No, don't let facts confuse you.

Old Friend said on another thread that she heard Sam Donaldson carping this morning about how President Bush DIDN'T CONSIDER THE DIGNITY OF THE OFFICE!!! Or something like that...I hope she will elaborate here!

I am telling you, we all need multiple copies of that photo, laminated and mounted on posters. We can wave it at democrats, who apparently react to it like werewolves to garlic!!!

Hi, Dog!

[Dog]

Jane it is the flight suit....your right again.

[Howlin]

Maybe somebody can find Sam's quote about the "dignity of the office" when Clinton was being "done" by Monica.

Anybody?

Somebody?

[Miss Marple]

You know what this reminds me of? Remember during the primaries how the anti-Bush people would go NUTS when we posted that picture of George Bush with his new-born twins? It absolutely drove them maniacal!!

This is the same thing! I am thinking we need to get a sign company to make a GIANT flight suit photo and drive it right by Congress on a truck as Daschle et al begin an outdoor press conference.

I bet Daschle would fall on the ground in a foaming-mouthed frenzy.

[retrokitten]

I, for one, am extremely glad clinton didn't put on a flight suit. Whew (wipes brow)

If you want, I'm sure I can find a picture of clinton in his shorty jogging shorts hi-lighting his pasty white legs hanging out. ;-)

I bet Daschle would fall on the ground in a foaming-mouthed frenzy.

I'd pay to watch that...

Freep Mail Jane..

President Bush has restored dignity to the White House. It was that white trash POS predecessor of his that demeaned the office of the President of the US.

Bush on the carrier is so powerful the leftist medias' eyeballs are bulging out.

Fox on The Photo op controversy Eleanor clift Michael Barone.

[Lauratealeaf]

Now Eleanor Clift is griping about the landing. Kerin Chetry is not taking her guff. Eleanor calls President Bush a "poser". And, she reveals that the dems are really afraid that President Bush will use the footage in the upcoming Presidential election of 2004.

[retrokitten]

Maybe somebody can find Sam's quote about the "dignity of the office" when Clinton was being "done" by Monica.

I was trying to find some kind of Sam quote about Clinton and stumbled on to this site Celebrity Rants.Com. It is so funny! There are 2 by Clinton and one by Tom Brokaw, among other celebs ranting. They have these really funny animations going along with the recordings.

[fml]

Be afraid, be very afraid.

[MEG33]

Clift has the dem talking points..lame. Barone is saying the dems and Byrd are making a bad move.Clift says it may offend swing voters..(wishes it is so!)

[retrokitten]

Eleanor calls President Bush a "poser".

She actually said "poser"? We need to find that little clip of Clinton wiping the fake tear away from his eye when he noticed the cameras at Ron Browns funeral.
