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...

RE Clinton....does he still receive intelligence briefings as per former presidential priviledge/courtesy? Does Carter?

[Spunky]

What happened to the Baghdad live cam on MSNBC?

Now it just shows Kuwaitt

[ztiworoh]

The building it was on, or the neighboring building (not quite sure) went BOOM, then no cam

[Fledermaus]

From what I saw on tv, the MSNBC cam at the safest intersection in the world got shook up!

[The Wizard]

how can clinton dissapoint you.....if you expect anything other than the worst you are expecting to much

[Miss Marple]

So now we have what...6 quotes? We need to assemble these into one post. Poor Ken Adelman only wrote one column, for heaven's sake. Clinton mouthed off all over the world!

Help! I just got in and am about to leave. Haven't heard any news since this a.m. Anyone have a quick synopsis for me? Good day, bad day? From the headlines on the threads it looks like a good day.

Clinton: "He is a threat. He's a murderer and a thug.

I think I said that about him in Sept. 2000. But then so did a few thousand other people.

fox showing live at the mall in Kuwait right now.

[Consort]

Was that an Alec Baldwin moment?

[dogbyte12]

If you read that quote from Clinton, looks like he was talking 3 weeks then.

2 weeks of bombing, followed by 1 week of ground fighting. Once we hit the three week mark, we shall see. I think everybody including Clinton, assumed we would do the long term air thing for a while first before deploying our troops. The irony of course is, that if we just bombed for the first 9 days, before we sent the troops in, I bet the reporters wouldn't be bitching so much about us being bogged down 50 miles from Bagdad, because we would still be in Kuwait now.

it was a play on words about what Tom Dasshole is always saying

[Consort]

Check out Drudge's Madonna headline.

[Spunky]

Geeez! Now I won't be able to see that guy cleaning the balcony or the cars go by anymore.

That was my entertainment after getting bored watching the bug zapper.:-)

[TigersEye]

Was that an Alec Baldwin moment?

Yes, I'm afraid so. Do I have to move to France now?

[cyncooper]

Since he's a minister, you might say he experience a "conversion on the road to Baghdad".

Yes. See my tagline? It comes from the first article written about this minister. Then he wrote the piece you posted.

You have been a FONT of information tonight and it is appreciated.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I agree, I think ALL the quotes ought to be assembled into one post.

[Fledermaus]

well, it survived the blast it looked like...it showed sparks coming down over the lens though

[mitchbert]

For you, my FRiend...
