Everywhere! | 23 Mar 2003 | An.American.Expatriate

Posted on 03/23/2003 8:56:32 PM PST by null and void

Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - 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.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A breif description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Guess which site this is from: (Thread) Tariq Aziz is on now...... (comment) The guy is great He speaks well and always seems sincere. Never seen him backtrack or get flustered. He seems like a teller of the truth

I don't know why it still surprises me what those traitors say.

My reaction to Aziz was: Anything that comes out of that man's mouth has got to be a lie.

He just said that he is not going to question Rummy, Franks, and Bush when he isn't privy to the info that they have.

Good news. He's now reading that great article from the human shields who had their eyes opened.

I bet that was Iraqi disinformation. We should start a rumor in Baghdad that the Iranians have crossed the border.

Rush has seemed to backtrack quite a bit as this day has gone on.

Yes, he did seem to temper his statements.

I am now listening to Powell speak with Brit.

Powell says Saddam has WMD. Brit asking about the facility found: Powell says they found the facility that needs more looking into.

Is this taped or live? I don't see the "live" logo so tend to think taped. Still Powell did not say the facility has been "cleared".

Had the soldiers been killed in action, they would have worn their helmets. They all had bullets holes in the center of their foreheads. Hence, no helmets on at the time of the shots and exact placement of bullet holes = execution. Logical deduction?

Powell on Chirac: We don't need a resolution. We have 1441- We don't need further legitimacy. We will get UN support for re-building.

There is a WORLD of difference between the POWs videos being shown on American TV -- and that video which was aired on arabic TV from Iraq TV around 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time yesterday, which I not only witnessed, but taped since I could not believe my eyes and they kept graphically running it over and over, head wounds from different angles, zooming, Iraqi personnel mishandling the soldiers' remains, etc.

There is a great gap between these two videos, for sure.

Regarding what? Military action?
