***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 17

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 An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

LOL, no kidding. Friends have asked me why I have to stay at the most expensive hotel in town, I don't dare admit it due to FNC being available there. Surely I can't tell them I need a new laptop to stay connected to all of you because they would do some kind of intervention and leave me with the rehab bill:)

harhar, an hour ago i ordered 2 weeks work of groceries online...will be delivered tomorrow right to the kitchen counter.

several sirened vehicles have already gone by... even over the wind there were reports, then car alarms, then a whole bunch of sirens..

all the cars seem to be going to the right.

I cannot believe the UN and a lot of the world did not want to help these people! Horrific!

Neither can I; nor can I understand how the Rats in our country, who have been privy to these atrocities (i.e., Daschole & Ilk), and the WMD secret info.....yet they have the gall to stand against and condemn our President.....I cannot help but think that God will hold these people almost as accountable as Hussein....honestly. Daschole and all the Rats who have been saying the most vitriolic things about Bush are to be condemned.

I'm babysitting an 11-month old and had forgotten about the BagCam...it's become just background noise for me. I felt terrible when the HUGH explosions scared her and made her cry.

I had to turn off the webcam.

Until then, it hadn't occurred to me how many mothers with little babies haven't had that option for the last two weeks. I hope this is over very soon!
