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...

Sadaam is dead...Sadaam is injured,,,Sadaam has given the order to use chemical weapons on our troops.

[SoldiersGirl]

I dream about all kinds of stuff from this war, and some of the reporters..it's weird.

It's like when you play Tetrus and end up dreaming about the patterns...
so my answer is yes, it's an addiction, lol, but admitting it is the first step in recovery.

[Mo1]

LOL .. that is what happen to be last night

[Fledermaus]

Yeah, I don't buy that. "Saddam" isn't giving orders

[Tree of Liberty]

I think alot of people in command were given authority to order use of CW, Chemical Ali and Qusey among them.

[Fledermaus]

Besides, the wind is blowing so much, chemicals would just blow and disperse

Is Texas the silicone/saline state? ;-)

Well, it wasn't during my generation. I always heard just enough to fill a champange glass was plenty. But I guess now they have gone to 10 gallon drums.

Now they have gone to 10 gallon drums HATS. It IS Texas, after all...

[Fledermaus]

That may be true, but Shep reported "Saddam" gave the order...I don't buy that

[Anomaly in Illinois]

Chemical Ali? Or maybe just more bull hockey for the talking heads.

[Carolina]

but admitting it is the first step in recovery.

Who me? Recovery? I'm in control at all times! ;P

[TexKat]

MSNBC reporting that Iraqi soldiers were told that if they get caught they would be in danger of chemical weapons attack.

[SoldiersGirl]

The more I watch that BAG cam, the more I think that building looks like a very recognizable male body part.
So maybe I do have a dirty mind.....

[Fledermaus]

OMG, you need sleep!

OMG, last night I dreamt that I was crawling along some ridge. I saw some spinning radar dishes. I was just about to cut the wires leading to it and an Iraqi (mustache and all) came walking by. He saw that the snow (in Iraqi no less) had been disturbed by me. He looked at me and started firing his AK. I ran and he missed. I can't share the rest for fear of sounding certifiable.

[Ramius]

...*wink*

I dunno. You tell me. :-P So how's your soldierdude doing? Well, I hope?

[Consort]

1. France said it might join the war if Iraq uses chemcal weapons.
2. Iraq is threatening to use chemical weapons.
3. Chirac must be crapping in his pants.

[cactusSharp]

and I hope as they vacation they are willing to say they were soldiers so the tab is on me

[Mo1]

IMO .. I think they are trying to scare us in not going into bagdad

I'm sure are troops are prepared for what might/could happen .. question is .. are the Republican Guards prepared for what will will do to them if they try it .. my guess is NO!

BTW .. I still think Saddam is dead

[Anomaly in Illinois]

My DH is convinced the same dozen cars are driving past the cam continually.
