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...

Brit replaying some of the Powell interview. I was distracted, but caught the end of the discussion of WMD where Powell says they are intent on winning the war and then have plenty of time to investigate and analyse what WMD programs are found.

I think Tommy has been saving the REAL "Shackinaw" for this moment. We are witnessing the biggest ass-kicking in history.

ohhh ok

All that stuff was generic crap, pre-selected to try and fit current events. They've got dozens of different takes of Saddam talking about some city.

It's like Bush on TV saying, "We pray for the brave men and women defending (fill in the city - "Miami") against our enemies."

Sort of like TV stars that do "local promos"...take about 50 at a time (And don't miss Frazier on "WDOP" in "Cleaveland".

Bless your heart: if you spend as much time avoiding your "real work" as I do, refreshing this thread.

LOL. That's pretty much all I have been doing today. Not a whole lot of work getting done.

That was on earlier today. Nothing too exciting. *I won't do a spoiler though*

It was covered on this thread.

[Fledermaus]

don't worry, I was thinking it was bombs first time I heard it. I got my party pooped too! lol

[Poser]

How do I figure out what my Freeper number is?

[knak]

thanks! What about the thing called saddam? Any response from US on his tape last night?

[Miss Marple]

Thank you for the link to Victor David Hanson's article. I had not seen it.

Hey Howlin'

I doubt that I will have much to add, but as we all know, FR is a good place to be in tough times.

Memo to the Good Guys:

Keep the embedded reporters around for the WMD investigation.
