Everywhere! | 30 Mar 2003 | An.American.Expatriate

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...

The Predator cost is wrong. I think it is more like $7M each. Still expensive, but nowhere like $40M. I think they purchase them in lots of 6 with controller or something like that, so that could account for the $40M cost.

...is how the military trains their people to react automatically...

Truly. My dad was a corpsman in the 50's and he told me a story about a helicopter accident which their training anticipated to the extent that corpsmen were laying within feet of the man who was injured and his life was saved.

Good morning,

Just finished reading this thread - thank you all for helping me keep up to date. Several posts back, there was discussion about the request from Saudi Arabia to stop cruise missle flights. Apparently a malfunction has caused several to land within their borders. I watched a Pentagon briefing yesterday (Torie and a general - can't recall his name). The general explained that 1% of cruise missles flights experienced malfuncions and this problem was being investigated. Obviously, 99% were peforming as designed - an excellent statistic.

Prolly snoozing. I've been up since 4:30 (as usual) however, it took me an hour and two cups of coffee to read the thread. Fortunately I only had 500 posts to go through - normally at this hour it's above 1000. Could the Situation Room be taking a Reuter's pause? LOL
