Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - 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 brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

Added. This list is getting long! FReepers are so creative!

3rd Infantry in firefight. I guess it occurred on Monday. I had not seen this and it was up close and personal.

[MEG33]

I saw footage of 48 returning wounded to hospitals in San Antonio. War wounds can be awful. 2 killed...30 wounded here.

[dfwgator]

The real inspectors are here.

[Howlin]

I agree with you about the hotel. And, curiously, the one picture that was on the internet showing the damage to the outside of the hotel has been pulled.

It sure didn't look like damage a tank would do -- to me anyway.

[Miss Marple]

Funny how armed US Marines can find things, isn't it?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

BUT I can't take another WMD 'discovery'.

AMEN. Helen to Marine in the middle of a firefight, "where's the WMDS?"

We could not protect these anti-Bush reporters inside of Iraq right now. The free Iraqis are not going to appreciate those UN weapons' inspectors, either.

What a shame.

Reserve a room for Terry M...

[golas1964]

Carter's too busy wanking the 'killer rabbit'!

[dfwgator]

Hey, Martin Sheen was right after all. Inspections really DO work.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

OK. I wasn't in a panic over it or anything.

But he's miles from the nearest airport, over an urban residential area, and I've never seen anyone do that around this part of town before (which is, of course, why I found it unusual). If he'd been near an airport, I would have thought nothing about it.

And I still think he was too low.

[TomGuy]

CNN reporting that Iraqi General in Mosul will capitulate and surrender within the next 35 minutes.

[epluribus_2]

didn't El Baradai go even farther than Blixhead and say that the Iraqi regime had "completed" its responsibilities and was free of all nuclear program material?

[AngryAmerican]

Capitulate? Is that anything liken Wanking?

[abnegation]

Yup and is yet another UN Wanker.

[ken5050]

we can sure scrounge

[MEG33]

That is how I remember it..Nuclear clear.

[dfwgator]

Of course then the DUmmies will say that the US knew about the site all along and didn't pass the information to the UN, so that Bush could get his war. Then when that is discredited, they'll just say, "So! The US has nukes, why can't Iraq?"

[golas1964]

This could be the beginning of a whole new wankabulary!
