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.

I liked "We have them surrounded and are dropping statues on their rotten heads!"

[Boundless]

> Some underground areas were reported "too hot" to enter.

This is credible.

> There was a report that they found plutonium, too.

This is not. I'm willing to be mistaken, but I wouldn't have
bet that field equipment can distinguish between radioactive
isotopes. The "weapons grade" also causes my BS meter to
increment.

[tentmaker]

I don't think Iraq ever had plutonium. All of their attempts were at enriching uranium.

[BagCamAddict]

Believe they've found a portable bio-weapons lab.

There was a story a few days ago... didn't get much press... about two Ultralight Airplanes that flew over US Troop positions. By the time our troops got permission to shoot it down, it was gone.

I hope he didn't have any of those little vials of white powder with him...

'lotta talk about Chem., and now Nuclear, but not much talk about Bio. Those Ultralight flyovers scared me when they happened.

[tentmaker]

That is... they would probably have had to get plutonium from some other nuclear power, since it is made in reactors. They were developing their own ability to enrich uranium. And right - field units would probably not know the difference, just that their counters were "hot".

[BagCamAddict]

I'm exhausted from all the wanking going on here!!!

There's a whole lotta wankin' goin' on.

[Dog]

You all see this rolling Bio-Lab on Fox???

[two23]

Truck appears to have some gun shot holes in it which you can't see in this cap.

[ztiworoh]

Ewww Shelia Jackson Lee will be on Cavuto today!

[pitinkie]

Dr. Bob on CBS cam

[two23]

This is a close up of the side of the truck (I wouldn't go NEAR it)

[DonnerT]

Looks more like a weapon loader than lab. Might even have been to load the rocket that went with it.

[BagCamAddict]

I know I didn't hear this right... what did Dr. Bob Arnot just say?

I thought it was something like, "Oh yeah, for the Bleeding Hearts, about the looting, it's ETHNIC looting... Shia / Sunni."

But he must not have said "bleeding hearts" - right? I know he said "Bleeding" - but not sure of the word after that.

[two23]

It appears to be refridgerated (see AC unit)

[pitinkie]

I couldn't make that part out.

[retrokitten]

I was kind of suprised that we haven't heard from Major Bob lately.

[pitinkie]

he is singing the song "Gloria"

[BagCamAddict]

Hey, I think we should start a campaign to get "Baghdad Bob" his own talk show when the war is over. Anybody have any ideas how we can do this?

I vote for Game Show Host... The Weakest Link.

He can say to people "You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye!"

[retrokitten]

This one cracked me up:

5. "Wolf Blitzer and I are engaged"

[two23]

He did alot of middle-of-the-night segments and maybe like some of us, is running on a major sleep-deficit!
Zzzzzzzzz
