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!

Done. Belly Girl thread

There's also a Battle Beauties thread.

*Sniff* Any offerings for my estrogen sensibilities?

[justshe]

At the risk of drawing the collective wrath of all.....thank you for starting a different thread for 'belly girl'.

No offense folks, but when you have to slog thru a bunch of posts re: innies and outies...on the Live War thread, it was starting to get on my nerves too.

[sweetliberty]

LOL! The way these guys are surrendering kinda makes you wonder just how close they really are to the French.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Looks like they are hitting the outer rings of Baghdad. Republican Guard?

[Republic]

Apparently one of the scuds that landed not too far from Kuwait City, has had some of its parts retrived and verified for future claims against Saddam and his illegal weaponry under the UN resolutions.

[glock rocks]

affirm.

in my question to dog, i was referring to the photo of the mobile launcher on the bridge that fox showed a few minutes ago.

Exactly. Belly Girl is why we fight these wars! I mean, would you want to see her have to be covered up in a burqa? NO!

Watching the CBS webcam into Baghdad. Right now, seeing nothing but a lonely streetcorner and Iraqis running the red light. Nice camera placement, SeeBS! Are you guys a news organization or are you contracted out to the Baghdad police to issue traffic tickets?

CNN running headline says 4 US soldiers killed in central Iraq. Can anyone confirm?

[Carolina]

Per FOX, the President had a briefing this morning. Imagine that, he's in touch after all. Someone tell Campbell Brown.

[justshe]

Has anyone heard if the Republic Guard, which is reported to be surrounding Baghdad, is INSIDE or OUTSIDE the moats of oil???

[acnielsen guy]

I too have seen and heard the sirens going off in other situations; in fact several times. But this was not one of those times, from the piece I saw. Someone suggested that the all clear had sounded and the reporter did not understand that it was over. That could be, but any reporter would like to make his report more dramatic by keeping his mask on.

The point is that it is no big deal but one has to beware of taking everything you see or hear with out the usual dose of conservative scepticism. More so in a wartime environment and that goes for both sides.

The satellite picture of "frantically" digging people removing Saddam from the rubble is a case in point. As one poster suggested they have trouble telling if a video tape of Saddam is him but no trouble identifying him from a satellite photo.

This car horn that just went off in baghdad sounded like the General Lee.

[Republic]

Glad your all better, joe. What a concept for a national health care plan....get rid of deceptive, chicken little reporting. Slap a warning label on the left-wing media, lol!

Gotta second these sentiments, Joe and nominate your national health care plan for FR honors!

[goodnesswins]

VERY good.

[Poser]

I believe the oil is closer to Baghdad than the main concentrations of Republican Guard. The oil is being used to make smoke to obstruct battle damage photos. I wouldn't want to be in the outer ring today.

[The Wizard]

just announced that a lot of tonight's air work will be Tank killing A-10 for ground support

"they send one of your's to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue"

You kill 4 of our guys in 2 Humvees we kill a hundred of yours in tanks, armored carriers, on foot or ox cart....

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Iraq has asked the UN to stop us. Heh. UN is an ally of Saddam's.
