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 on the weekend, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Q: Why did you want to get to Baghdad so quickly?

Myers: Because we could.

WTG!!!!

[null and void]

These protestors don't really seem to be helping their cause by their choice of attire.

That depends ENTIRELY on what their cause REALLY is...

[pitinkie]

And get that Disinformation Minister during his briefings!

[bigcheese]

the french embassy would be nice too

[r9etb]

We have predators over the captiol of the enemy and shot up their Info Min. We can hit any leadership target at will...

I agree that this is huge news. It means we can spot all kinds of targets for big bombs, and we can also use the Predators to take out the Information Minister after he leaves his next news conference.

BTW: If we've got Predators over B-dad, we've also got Global Hawks there -- and they can see a whole bunch of stuff.

Oh Gosh more stupid reporter questions!!!! But Rummy shoots him down!!

[azGOPgal]

I wish Rummy was my grandpa!

[pitinkie]

10-4 to that!

[rumrunner]

BBC reporting that the thirld world Araba media is reporting that 50 people were killed in a marktet bombing.

[pitinkie]

A new one????

[Mo1]

Are we there yet!

[gop212]

CNN reported getting lit up by RUMSFELD.

[Carolina]

Q: Did you miscalculate the desire of Iraqis to be liberated?

Rummy: Don't you think that this question is premature? Answer is self-evident. Iraqis will have spectrum of feelings. We don't need to try and answer those questions.

[Dog]

I wonder if the Predator fired a laser guided bomb....if so...we had someone putting a beam on that dish.......boots in BAG.

[null and void]

Ahh, now you bring in the Chemical Drums!

I'm suspicious of the accuracy of this report. I just can'r wrap my mind around a MARINE seeing this and not taking them out!

[gop212]

CNN reported = CNN reporter.

[rumrunner]

A new one???? Yes. Had scenes of the people rushing around.

[mwl1]

quickly becoming clear from the Pentagon that it doesn't matter what Arab tv is saying. No way Rummy would have said what he did about Syria without explicit approval from the President of the United States.

[TonyInOhio]

Jamie McIntyre from CNN now has two arseholes. :-)

[knak]
