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!

This is what I found funny

"IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei, clearly wary of any coalition claims, said this week that any alleged discoveries of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq would have to be verified by U.N. inspectors ''to generate the required credibility.''

[AppyPappy]

. I so wish that FR had a spell check.

Mea to

[crobnson]

Yah right, they are SO credible. So trustworthy. Ask the Iraqis.

[retrokitten]

You know I think it is! I left the list at work :-(
I'll have to add it on Friday. Someone else said wanquero and I about fell out of my chair laughing! I think that would make the list up to 65! LOL!

[Kadric]

"Actually, I read in the Wall Street Journal today that the "Rumsfeld" technique is expected to become the new model for fighting forces. Nothing succeeds like success."

This is what is heard every time we have a war. They (reporters) never seem to learn that each situation is different and requires a different approach, this is just another one to add to the books. This is one of the best qualities of the US service man. The ability to adapt to a rapidly changing situation.

[CaptainJustice]

I dont think we'll ever get even for 9/11 because America would never cause the senseless pain and chaos of murdering 3000 for no reason other than the place they live in. We'll never fill another people with a sense of despair in seeing their innocent compatriots jumping out of a building and Americans dancing in the streets at their calamity. Civilians died in 9/11 and in Gulf War 2. The difference is that 9/11 killed them on purpose, Gulf War 2 killed a few to liberate many. Gulf War 2 was a sacrifice, 9/11 was an underhanded slaughter. America wont even sink as low as Osama Bin Laden did on 9/11. We're not animals.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Oh, man, this stuff is great! Barring some major Watergate-like GOP scandal, these guys may not win a national election for thirty years!

[Air Force Born]

Gee, I cant even spell htmll, much yes use it.

[OXENinFLA]

So by ElBaradei's way of thinking the weapons wouldn't be effective unless the UN said they were.

[crobnson]

That is the part that really frustrates me about the reaction around the world. They obviously don't know us at all. We are a compassionate country. Look at how the soldiers have been treating the people in Iraq during wartime, even the soldiers get treated with nothing but human compassion. Not many countries could claim this. Our compassion is what sent us to Iraq, compassion for the people of Iraq and compassion for our own people. We feel deep pain for each and every one who dies.

[retrokitten]

In the old days (3 years ago) when someone forgot to close thier html tags it would effect the whole post until someone shut it off. It was real cute when someone would forget to shut off thier large size font and you would have to stand across the room to read it.

[Catspaw]

Scott Ritter & Bill Tierney are going after each other on (blech) Paula Zahn.

[GRRRRR]

CNN--Scott "The Stud" Ritter saying the BUSH admin needs to PROVE that Saddam has/had the WMDs...he says he's "tired" of the current inspectors saying there ARE WMD in Irak. He's now saying that he was the HEAD of the prior inspection group...? He says the US is on a "Wild goose chase...says BUSH has "Fabricated" evidence of WMD.
He's on with another former inspector Bill Tierney and
Clearly these two guys have a history, each knows something about what "else" the other guy was doing as inspectors..CIA and Military Intel etc.

Ritter says Hans Blix abrogated his responsiblity back to the UN...

GRRRRR

[Air Force Born]

LOLOLOL

Got to get away and watch some Survivor with my beloved. Check in later.

[retrokitten]

post=thread

[null and void]

New thread start me be a few minutes late this evening. Don't panic....

[Catspaw]

IF my broadband doesn't crash AGAIN, I'll post a link to the CNN transcript. The transcript should be up in a couple hours.

I did like Tierney saying, "sure you did...sure you were" dripping with sarcasm to Ritter.

[angelwings49]

This is cute...

You are the President of the United States. Scientists have discovered a meteor that is headed towards the earth. They have calculated that it will strike France in 2 days, at approximately 2:30 A.M. The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth forever.

France and the United Nations have requested that the United States send all available ships and aircraft to help evacuate the country. Among the ships and planes you could be sending are many that are being used to fight the war on terror overseas.

As the President, you must decide: Do you...

A) Stay up late on the night of the impact to watch the coverage live?
B) Tape it and watch it in the morning?

[SoldiersGirl]

oh my gosh

after about 3 days on FR, I had this dream about someone saying they were working on a spell check for the forum. I honestly didn't realize I had only dreamt it until I mentioned it on here. Talk about embarrassing

[Jackie-O]

Kit, since you have been so kind to volenteer to be the keeper of the Wankerisims when you post them, could you please include my name when you post as a ping to me? I've been having a great time with this..gives me an outlet for my frustration with the Lefty-antis!

A special THANKS goes out to Carolina!! You directed me to the first Wanker discussion that tickled my funnybone and got the ball rolling for me to give my dreaded Antis a new label!!!
