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...

the B&A source says chem attack likely, the Republican Guard got new chem suits. Other info: Saddam and sons dead, Tariq Aziz is in Cairo (can anyone confirm that?)

[don-o]

B & A - WHoever they are interviewing just breathlessly announced the old news that a call has gone out for a Russian surgeon

by the way the shells are handled, the chem shells are handled differently.

more B&A information: some elements of the 3rd ID are making a flanking maneuver to the west, source says the chemical weapons may be used against the marines, since the predator overflights show the unit they are facing has them. chem weapons must be used in the next 24 hours given our distance from Baghdad. Wouldn't the wind possibly blow it back on them? - I dont know much about these

"Believe me, what the public sees of our intel gethering sattilites is probably 10 years out of date, i wouldnt be surprised if it is MUCH more advanced"

I'm pretty sure that I'm still not manly enough to be noticed from space, no matter how advanced they are.

[oceanview]

yes, that is old news. but what did you make of that information that Aziz is in Cairo? Where did his press conference appearance come from today?

[Fledermaus]

I'm not manly enough to be noticed by satellite either, think more microscope

[Mo1]

Tommy Franks is a Democrat

Naaaaaaaaaaaa .. it can't be true .. can it?

[oceanview]

B&A = Batchelor and Alexander wabc radio show.

[Jackie-O]

Oh you did it now! None of these guys will ever look at Belly Shirt Girl the same now that you've mentioned the "C" word. You might have well suggested the "H" word. ;0)

[spectr17]

Think a little grub worm with a turtle neck on

I'll go to my room now

[Mo1]

more B&A information

OK .. stupid question .. what is B&A information

[Diddle E. Squat]

Rick Leaventhal says they are engaging light arms fire 10 clicks ahead of them.

How much distance is a click?

[knak]

I read somewhere that we could see a dime on a sidewalk with something, planes, satellites?

"Don't stand naked in your window after a shower unless you want a tech to get a smile" I saw a piece on satellite technology the other day. It said that they were good enough to discern two different objects if the objects were at least 30" apart. I guess I can safely stand naked in my window until the technology gets about 3 times better.

I wouldn't be too sure Poser. I saw a show on the Science Channel that zoomed in from out in space all the way down to a licence plate on a car - I could read all of it, including the little sticker with the year on it up in the corner !

So unless you have "Insy-Teenie-Weenie" ones, I'd be real CAREFUL ! LOL
