Good Morning.

This is the continuation Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Day 1- 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.

To all who helped this get started yesterday, thank you!

If our military knows they are leaving, I gotta think someone with them is yelling INCOMING!

[ztiworoh]

I heard that

I like it

Also, Brit Hume's Nebyucchaneeeeezer, really held out the eeeeee sounds

[Cboldt]

You're probably hearing it now, as I am, FoxNews reporting recently received images of digging. Digging was on Wednesday.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I dunno. If it is continuing, then I wonder if it is just to try and reactivate some C&C, or perhaps uncover an arsenal(chem weapons?) Just a guess.

[SW6906]

Iraq is about the size of California

California

"If you heard about the digging on FNC you are probably confused like I am. When they first reported it they sounded like it was going on now, but when they went to their Pentagon reporter he made it sound like it happened after the site was hit."

Yup. It was confusing. I believe they are talking about the panic digging right after the strike.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Understand.

Again, like OBL - it might not be obvious from the Iraqi press that he's out-of-action though; even though there's NEVER been a specific picture or TV image of OBL alive since Nov '91, there's no story that confirms he dead.

No proof he's dead, but nothing showing he's alive (or in control) either. Nothing showing he (OBL) is in command of anything.

Oh yeah, I am looking forward to that...I love mind games. I wish they would show us those pictures! Would be another great psy ops!

[ztiworoh]

Size of California approximately

[SW6906]

Beat you by || that much!

[Mo1]

Very possibile .. if so, expect more S&A to get their attention

[Otta B Sleepin]

FNC saying US has photos of Saddam being placed on stretcher and carried out of bunker to ambulance......when was this - right after the first attack or today?

[RummyChick]

I think it was the way it was initially presented by fox..and you and I and the people with me heard that it was now...which is where the confusion comes in

[Diddle E. Squat]

3rd army 7th calvary now stopped in s. central Iraq, some fields of green, with rain and mud. Expect that an Iraqi detachment of unknown size lays ahead, hence the temporary stop and battle-ready stance.

[austex]

so, if its the relative size of CA - and then have been moving for 10 hours then they should be well within range of baghdad right?

[momofsixgirls]

I keep hearing about the size of california...

[gop212]

I looked better doing it though.
