This is a thread to collect all the breaking stories regarding the Libration of Iraq

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SCOTT RITTER?

LMFAO! Oh, my, what a blast from the past...

I'd hate to owe a Freeper any money. Memories like elephants...

Christianne Ammanhairypour confirms scuds landed in Kuwait.

Blix is a direct threat to our national security.

[RummyChick]

I need a nap...is shock and awe suppose to start tonight in US time or Baghdad time

How long does it take for these jets who just took off to reach baghdad

[knak]

Chris, I've got a 56K and it's not bothering mine at all.

[justshe]

Personally....I really enjoy reading your posts. And when I'm trying to skim read to stay caught up with the thread (dial-up sucks!).....your icon catches my eye and I slow down and read yours more slowly. For what it's worth!

[ican'tbelieveit]

It should be Umm Qasr LIBERATED. Just my personal feelings there.

[Dog]

Shep just said Kuwati forces attacked US troops then realized he screwed up.....and backpeddled.

Get the hook..

[Cboldt]

Yeah, our assassination attempt. But he can't admit the US got him, so he made up a story about some big bad bully. He also couldn't admit an internal coup attempt, I know.

Keep the pic, please. I like her spunk.

[steveegg]

I trust that those of you in the southeast are keeping an eye on the weather.

[glock rocks]

Every time Shep Smith of Fox says "embedded" you take a drink. Every time he says, "I'm not sure I'm pronouncing this correctly" you finish the beer.

LOL! many of us would be asleep by dinnertime

[Petronski]

Chris,

You reliably know what your talking about, on many different subjects. I have no comment on the toon. :)

[finnman69]

Big boom just went off o MSNBC..secondarys

[The Wizard]

I'm starting to wonder if we break it tonight......Pentagon: "so far, so very good"

[Cboldt]

Bad game. Shep will beat you every time. He's got experience at this sort of thing.

[goodnesswins]

Thanks, I've tried 2 stations and cannot get it...will listen to FOX NEWS TV

[The Wizard]

he used to be "troubled"

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Take a two hour nap -- at most, IMO.

[section9]

Thanks, but I did promise on a thread several weeks ago that I'd pull her from the Live Threads once the war got underway in earnest. I forgot about that in the heat of the outbreak of war.

Last night and early today don't count as "in earnest".

If all the carriers are launching strike packages, I have to assume a two hour ingress time to TOT.

Nice to hear that Umm Qasr has fallen. I would expect Basra to go within six hours.

I'm serious, if Saddam is goners, resistance could collapse by the weekend.

BTW, has anyone wondered what Tariq Aziz will do for a living from now on? Maybe he could become the new DiTech spokesman.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
