***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 11 - LIVE THREAD***
Everywhere! | 30 Mar 2003 | An.American.Expatriate

Posted on 03/29/2003 9:01:35 PM PST by null and void

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 target ranges there are "Park-Like" especially the 1,000
meter range.

The Iraqi rep says they are following Geneva convention rules and says Red Cross will be able to visit POWs. The Iraqi rep is rocking as he talks...very uncomfortable.

I've never mentioned this before because of the loose lips policy, but the point's moot now. About 6 weeks ago our family had gone out for a late dinner. On our way home, we were stopped by a train. It was an incredible sight - hundreds of flat bed cars went by all carrying military vehicles. They were painted desert camoflauge and ranged from small humvee's up to huge pieces of equipment. My 15 year old son who is a military nut was in hog heaven watching this incredible array go by.

I have been told by several friends who are SF's that they have to wear *some* of their uniform at all times....has to do with how you are treated if captured...either spy or military.....

Of course in this war, the Iraqi's will make no distinction on their captured.

I liked the sound-byte that Fox just played from Gen. Franks. Somebody correct me if I heard this wrong, but did he say, "I don't know if he's alive or not. Somebody might know, but I don't personally know. But I can say that I haven't seen any evidence that this war is being run from the top."

Rummy on Fox News in response to a question about the New Yorker mag hit piece by Hersh..."Are you micro-managing?"

Paraphrased

The plan is a good one and was developed by the planners out of CENTCOM. I wish I could take credit for the plan, but it belongs to General Franks. The people who are commenting on the plan, are people who haven't seen it.

Something just isn't right with you.

vapatriot98 has not cleaned up the mess left on this thread: Thank you General Franks. I salute you.

Now Russert is asking about using human shields and suicide bombers. Denial, denial, denial.
