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...

I'm taping MTP, watching Rummy on Fox. Please give us an idea of what to watch for later.

[Green]

I don't have Meet the Press or FN Sunday until 9am CST and they both are on at the same time...dang it I want to watch both.

[Catspaw]

We don't get Fox for another hour.

Myers is implying that Combover is desparate.

[The Wizard]

I want to say that I'm sure Julian is a very good person and everyone seems to like him, Just on a different show

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

That's incorrect....In respect of the Geneva Convention, any soldier caught concealing his uniform under civilian clothes may be executed immediately. It is a standing rule well known by all S.F.

Any one telling you something different is probably blowing smoke up your leg.

"vapatriot98 has not cleaned up the mess left on this thread:"

He ain't done much to clean up the mess he's made here.

I believe too much Pravda and cheap vodka is to blame.

[Green]

he denied suicide bombers? I guess he hasn't spoken with Iraq VP lately....

[DollyCali]

iT MUST BE VERY HARD THERE TO TELL THE GOOD GUYS FROM THE BAD GUYS.

MISTAKES WILL BE MADE.

A BAD GUY SHOOTING AT YOU WITH A GOOD GUY SHIELDING IN FRONT.. MAYBE BOTH WILL BE GONE.

RIGHT CHOICE ? WRONG CHOICE ?

i AM NOT THE ONE THERE.

I WONT SECOND GUESS OUR MILITARY DECISIONS BE THEY IN UNIFORM OR OUT.

[Quilla]

That's no patriot, looks more like a hit and run poster.

[Catspaw]

Russert is now repeating the WP article about "timelines," "drawn-out fight," etc. Russert has not yet said "quagmire."

[muslims=borg]

No doubt...I can't wait to see the regime bosses abandon ship...especially the Iraqi vp that keeps talking about terrorist attacks. I'l like to see his head on a pike.

[Catspaw]

He didn't deny the suicide bomber, but said that it was (and I'm paraphrasing) it's a legit battlefield tactic.

Tony Snow:
There are rumors that members of Saddam's family have fled to Syria. Is that true?

Rummy:
It's true that there are rumors.

LOL!

[Catspaw]

Ah, the Rummy verbal leg whip :-))

[Green]

here! here!

This rep is getting feisty. He said the Iraqi government can use any weapon they have. Said the old gassing of the Kurds was by CIA agents. This is the Ambassador to the UN. He's practically screaming at Russert and still rocking. He says that everything "bad" (Kurd gassing, citizens as shields etc)is USA propaganda. Says the homicide bombers are simply defending the Iraqi people. This was one of the most interesting Iraqi rantings you will see in recent days. I hope someone pulls a transcript. General Myers now on noted that the Iraqi Rep hesitated for a long time before making a statement on whether Saddam was alive. The Iraqi Rep kept saying this is not about Saddam, thatt is, one or two or three people. He sure seems to have doubts by watching him.

[GOPyouth]

Chalk one up for him. That was clever.

[mystery-ak]

Thanks for correcting me....I don't think I misheard them...but, then maybe I did!

[leadpenny]

That's no patriot, looks more like a hit and run poster.

I think you're right, Quilla.

I believe too much Pravda and cheap vodka is to blame.

LOL, vc.

All we needed was a shortie--he has a .22 rifle (on which the iron sights SUCK.) Also 'park-like,' right off some road on the western edge of the installation.

Gave him a bunch of time on my slightly-modified 10/22 and he was happy to push 10 rounds through .50 inch hole at 25 yards.
