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...

I have a question- I would like to know if the US/satellite systems can detect where the missles in Iraqi are being launched from? It seems to me that when those missiles are launched toward Kuwait (every two hours or so), Kuwait's radar detects that a missile is incoming. I would think that our satellite system would be focused in the area to detect(see)in Iraq where their missiles are being launched from. The US really needs to take out those launch sites..

We had trouble in the GW with the mobile SCUD launchers. We can tell where it was launched from but by the time we get eyes on the coordinates they have already boogied and went into their hole. Lost of vast desert out there to hide in.

Even with our best hunter/killer teams (Delta, SAS) looking for the launchers we didn't have great success.

Actually, Saddam is with his 72 Rachel Corries.

He went from being done in by multiple strikes to an eternity with multiple shrikes.

[Fledermaus]

They jiggled some!

[Luis Gonzalez]

Not really.

Just a little cat scratch fever I think.

"Is Texas the silicone/saline state?"

I think the 2nd girl on the left had real boobs. I'm pretty sure all 14 others were fake. Texas was fake. No question.

She hates this stuff. Lives in Ithaca New York. Heavy liberal who calls herself a moderate.

Mo sent me some links for some great audio from ex-Iraqis. I have to figure out how to send them to her via e-mail.

Lord knows she won't listen to them!

[oceanview]

why then does it appear that we have stopped the scuds, especially in the western desert towards israel, completely so far in this one?

[Fledermaus]

Usually after the bikini is the talent..I'll pass that!

[TexKat]

Yes the Missile story is new, and the type of plant they were found in is not clear. A lot of people are getting confused and thinking in is the An Najaf Chem Facility
