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...

Roger that.

"Saddam Hussein, your days are numbered." per Adam on FNC

[GOPyouth]

He attacked Kuwait before any military actions were taken against him from Kuwait. Each time he's been lobbing them off into civilian areas....... but that's ok according to the press.

[mware]

They are chanting, Saddam Hussain your days are numbered.

[Dog]

I'll send you something to cheer you up.....want some Peep's??

[Miss Marple]

That's what I think, too, Otta. She KNOWS because she probably read the article or heard one of the speeches, or he told her at a cocktail party.

Maybe Brit is going to let her twist all weekend.

Meanwhile, I think I will send Fred Barnes an e-mail.

[glock rocks]

What is that chanting in the background on Fox??

per FOX: "saddam hussein, your days are numbered."

Remote Control Car bomb maybe, there is now way that hole in baghdad is from one of our bombs. Looks like a pothole here after a good snow storm.

Digits mean essentially nothing; we got our numeral system from the Arabs (who got them from the Indians).

[pitinkie]

Okey Dokey.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Would like to know more on the Turkish hijacking.

Sorry, but I missed the news during the day. ~~ A Turkish hijacking???? More info, please---if you have it. (Thanks)

[Otta B Sleepin]

Still the aftermath of the missile that came down about 90 minutes ago. No injuries, and they're not sure if it was intercepted or what. No crater, but they've found pieces of the missile with Arabic writing.

[mware]

You are a sweetie, yes I would love some peeps. You know the yellow ones are my favorite.

[glock rocks]

the 4 digits are "5420"

[pitinkie]

Will Daschle be deeply saddened by the "market strike" or the KC missle????

[merrin]

One of the missiles had "PROTRACT" on it. It seemed to be the beginning of a word.

[pitinkie]

Yes!

[GOPyouth]

The lettering appears to say, "It's Reagan's fault."

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks, bvw. Very reasonable. I'd see the mainstream press as something other than an army of darkness if they didn't promote those who work to undermine the foundations of our country.

They're biggest excuse lie, "We don't make the news, we just report the news." The last AP reporter who said that to me was taken aback at my response, "Bunk." (etc.)
