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:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running over the weekend and Monday, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Also, Hans lied again. I hit the mute button - sorry, reflex - but our guy - from CENTCOM - pretty much called Hans a liar...said we already witnessed 3 Iraqi missiles traveling farther than the UN-mandated range. FN will replay it...our guy's clearly happy to volunteer this info. Heh.

Pardon if this is a stupid question.

Is that one big ring encompassing both cities?

Or is it 2 rings, one around each city.

One ring to rule them all...

[ken5050]

Very eloquent.....kudos.....

[Howlin]

And he can be a analyst at the same time? Good grief.

[Solson]

Let me know when Hans stops lying! :)

I just had this vision of Saddam calling on Kofi Annan to fly to Bagdad and accept the surrender of Iraqi forces, asking that the country and its people be placed under UN protection...

If they plan on acting like a pile of shit, they might as well join a pile of shit.

Hehehehehehe. That would clear them out.

An S-3B Viking assigned to the 'Dragonfires' of Sea Control Squadron Twenty-Nine (VS-29) flies over the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the South Pacific Ocean March 26, 2003.

Hmm, I don't see a single S-3B in that photo. The caption writer needs a quick remedial lesson.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.

Article and reference sent to Milwaukee talkshow host who is quite influential. I am sure this will become ammo tomorrow.

[Howlin]

That you did!

[Neets]

Unbelievable, I know...

[ninenot]

Are companies still hiring behindlickers these days?

Only as Vice-Presidents.

Reality-based personnel don't make high office.

[Howlin]

Just saw it again: two guards, no guards, one guard.

[Howlin]

OMG.

[Poser]

Congratulations on your milestone post.
