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.

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 and keep it running, thank you!

He's dead, Jim.

leftist says: "Baghdad's hard-pressed surgeons, flooded with war-wounded, are amputating the limbs of children and adults with too few anesthetics to block the pain and too few antibiotics to protect the patients, a Greek doctor newly arrived from Iraq reported Saturday."

a brit commander in southern iraq says: they found a very large cache of medicines and supplies in warehouse.

Blast at McDonald's
News 24 (South Africa), by AFX Staff - 4/5/2003 2:30:46

Beirut - Three people were wounded Saturday when a stick of dynamite was set off in a crowded McDonald's restaurant on the outskirts of Beirut, police said.

Terrorists....or militant epicurians?

[brydic1]

It is shamefully transparent. You are so correct.

[ken5050]

Actually, Kerry was heard once yelling at Teresa that Hillary changed her last name so Bill could get elected president, and he expected the same support from her..

[heckler]

I'd be more inclined to a "knee to the groin/head butt" combo myself.

[Catspaw]

I don't know if anyone would connect the two (Heinz corp. with Kerry). In fact, I didn't until someone here brought it up. If Kerry's smart, he won't issue a press release about it.

[Dog]

Did you all see the piece on CNN or MSNBC from an ITV woman reporter on a bus getting a tour of Baghdad with Bob. They stopped at a burned out Iraqi tank and Iraqi's celebrated their victory replusing the Americans.....she said they are turning defeat into victory.....hehehe!

[ken5050]

THink it was on MSNBC early this morning..

[Carolina]

Hey, just got back. That reporter was a total mediot!!

You know, I seriously hope Jessica and her family turn down all movie and book deals.

[ztiworoh]

BUT, when he goes to campaign, he can bring it up, he'll keep it low for now and in a year or so, leading up to the primaries, add it to his "military credentials"

[BagCamAddict]

Don't these reporters have to pass any tests before getting their press passes?

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which of the following is the best question to ask a Prisoner Of War?
...(A) Which one of your captors did you like the best?
...(B) Was the concrete comfortable?
...(C) Did the torture hurt?
...(D) How did you feel when your Mother killed herself because she couldn't live without you any longer?
...(E) Do you have any advice or words of comfort for the families of the remaining POWs?

TRUE / FALSE

2. My job as a reporter is to ask questions that cut the heart out of the person I am interviewing.
... TRUE --- FALSE

I bet the results would fall on a Bell Curve - 90% of them choosing A, B, C, or D and TRUE... and only 10% choosing E and FALSE.

[MEG33]

Thanks.

[prairiebreeze]

LOL you bad

[mewzilla]

I heard it was six, too. If the Saddamites have any sense of self-preservation left, they'll turn themselves over to us before their countrymen and women got their hands on them.

[Green]

OH, just remembered something. You all know how Rita Cosby is always mentioning all her speecciiaalll soourrcceessss...

Well, the other morning during the dr's press conference re: Jessica, he said that despite numberous reports about Jessica having multiple gun shot wounds and stabbing, that was not correct.

Then once press conference over, FN went live to Rita standing in dark (was 5am ) in the Lynch's front yard. She brought up the other networks mentioning gun shot wounds and said that she hadn't been reporting that because HER sources had told her that wasn't true, so therefore now that the dr had confirmed it, she was thankful for her source so she hadn't been reporting inaccurate infor.

Wonder how she feels today about her sources that she is always so quick to brag about. (I like Rita but she really gets on my last nerve about her sources)

[ken5050]

Let me tewll you..the media SO FAR is giving Kerry a pass on Teresa.....she's a whack job...and if he does manage to win the nomination she'll develope acute laryngitis during the campaign.....

[ken5050]

Do you have a source?

[Poser]

Rita's "sources" are the producers talking into her earpiece.
