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!

I believe this is going to be a common occurence. The terrorists are going to try to exploit this every way the can.

CNN - "Grenade attack on 101st airborne unit military command tent in Northern Kuwait",
"At least 6 seriously injured in apparent terrorist attack"
"They knew exactly where to hit - They hit the command centre - they had good intelligence"
"Have now formed a heavily armed perimeter"
"Soldiers reacting very well"

The liberals will never learn until their backs and hopes are fully broken by a real communism/totalitarianism.

Well said, theo. Glad your family escaped Castro to help educate Americans. Free Romanians and Iraqis may change a few lib. minds.

not sure

[Carolina]

CHRIS PATTEN supports the war?!?

No. For him, it's a moot point. He's more interested in how we move forward from this debate, creating a way of disarming rogue states through diplomacy rather than military intervention.

"I had to do a light speed run to the grocery store"

I had to do that myself. I'm cooking a roast and veggies that will last for a 2 or 3 days. Works for me.

Back to the live thread!

So, have you heard, the B-52's are getting ready to take off from Fairford. If we go by yesterday as a yardstick then we can expect "Shock and Awe II" about 7 hours after take off, it will be morning in Iraq.
