***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 3-LIVE THREAD***

FreeRepublic - Day 2 ^ | 212 March 2003 | An.American.Expatriate/null and void

[null and void]

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, thank you!

Did Franks slap any reporters yet?

Yea, big time. Rumsfeld Part II. He has learned well. :)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks, Republic. Contacting them makes a difference. There are hundreds of serious left-wing activist groups - NGOs who contact the pols and pundits full time...effecting policy and information.

Pro-America rallies are growing. Americans are fed up: Body shop has a message for anti-war protesters - ``Keep your big mouth shut'', Yonkers. AP!

Pfaw is NOT.

Today they have denied the 1,000 troops that was reported last night.

I was of course sad about the marines KIA and the brits as well of course. But the Army soldiers KIA just plain pisses me off. It says here they were recon soldiers. Those are some ballsy guys...God Bless them and their families, and God Bless the ass whooping Tommy releases with the next round of S&A

B-52's flew out of Britain(on TV) about 7 hours ago. Could be repositioning to Diego Garcia, or cound be about in position now...

here, here.

I think if such wording could be used each day until the end of the constant TV broadcasting this will make it easier for the other freepers to follow the threads.

Turkey is moving a few in, moving a few out. Ostensibly maintaining border integrity. Franks said matters were being handled with a combination of diplomatic and other means -- didn't seem concerned. I think the media is trying to drum up an issue to divert attention from other facts.

[steveegg]

Sounds familiar. That was Rita Cosby, and right after her report, Fox had that we visited a suspected WMD site with no word on whether they found any WMDs.

[The Wizard]

Turks removed their troops when the German advised them that they might pull their AWACS form Turkey because of their incursion into Irac.....the bet is the US called the Germans and told them to explain the facts of live to the Truks

"These are the same insecure people with tiny pee pees who always went running to the teacher "to tell" whenever you said or did anything that annoyed them!"

LOL! Or those who would provoke others to do something for which they could be told on while they pretend to be innocent bystanders. These types grew up to frequent positions in lower management.

Franks reminds of John Wayne minus the anger. He didn't take any bait and calmly bitch-slapped the commie (Chinese) reporters.

[B4Ranch]

Since you are a programmer I would be ashamed to admit anything different. LOL

How did the bedtime stories readings go last night?

[section9]

Sounds to me as if some recon troopers got a little ahead of themselves. Two humvees were ambushed by RPG's. This probably occured around Nasiriyah. There was said to be some fighting in the area before the bridghead had been taken. That's where they probably died.

Natch, their assailants are probably kissing up to 72 virgins now.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

FYI planes are continuing to take off for Baghdad

[gop212]

Any word on the best LIVE STREAMS yet?

[Cboldt]

(The French have removed 1 leg from the UN; it is now LN (League of Nations)

Take a "leg" off the "N", and you'll have UV, United Victims.

[VRWC_minion]

This just in another war victory...Daschle declared defeat on radio address. According to Daschle, it takes troops to disarm not resolutions. Then he wraps himself in the patriotism, pride, armed forces and flag. (Having trouble keeping breakfast down. )

Pelosi, basically doesn't suport war but supports troops.

Comment: Orginal intro said that Pelosi was to give rat rebuttle but Daschle was first to speak. Pelosi also wrapped self in troops, etc...Need Pepto

[steveegg]

lol

Looks like it's raining in bagdad
