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!

... someone has to give those of us who missed being here yesterday a reference to what the heck "Belly Girl" means...

Or here is an example, lol ! . . .

JUAN GARCIA / DMN

Here is the source

I don't know if we're going to bother. The weapons we use target by GPS. Some oily smoke isn't going to deter those boom booms.

[steveegg]

Do we have the ability to extinguish the oil trench fires from the air?

Dunno, and probably doesn't matter (personally, I say, let 'em burn).

The CNN crew made it to Jordan.

Nita, they don't hide. They just turn away from the other guys a ways from the vehicle and let it rip.

Ask that the camera is turned off, dig a hole, and do their business.

You're trying to tell me that all these embedded journalists just dig a hole and squat in front of everyone?!  Egads.  It's a good thing I'm not along for the ride.  I would have the mother of all fecal impactions by now.

[B4Ranch]

Certainly. 22 hours is a long shift for anyone.

[Sacajaweau]

They showed some equipment that puts these out by sucking the oxygen out.

Anyone know the wind direction? It was west to east yesterday.

[Woodman]

Here you go, Weeeee (heh, heh)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Time to get ready to attend the Rally for America at the St. Paul, Mn State Capitol.

Bye all.......

[Carolina]

Had to drop off kid at 5 am!

Yikes! Soccer?

[steveegg]

Yep.

[Michael81Dus]

HOOORAY!!!! BASRA IS OCCUPIED!!!
:-)) I just came back and that was the first I read!!

[Timeout]

I'm trying to follow this, watch the TV for the Centcom brief and follow my nephew on the PGA tour all at the same time! This morning he's finishing yesterday's rained-out round at the Bay Hills Invitational...he's currently tied with Woods & Baddely or the lead! I'm on overload here. Don't know what I'll do when the tourney is on TV this afternoon.

Not only the embedded journalists, but our armed forces. Did you expect the advanced troops to be setting out portapottis?

[Michael81Dus]

HOORAY AGAIN!! NASIRJIA IS ALSO IN THE ALLIED HANDS!

[Gorilla44]

Thanks Woodman.

[Carolina]

BBC fixated on casualties now. Yesterday they kept showing that photo op at the hospital. They have no figures but they're conjecturing.

"Surely, with all those bombs that have fallen, there had to have been casualties."

Will Sky get their streaming in back up?

[TomGuy]

BBC reporting Iraqi sources say 200-300 injured, 2 killed in Bagdad. [Even BBC admits, considering that 300+ cruise missiles hit, the casualty rate is extremely low.]

[The Wizard]

young lady, and yes attractive, but still all very high school stuff....

[steveegg]

Dunno, but CNN sure picked a fine time to do some work on a conference above their New York studios.
