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!

[Fitzcarraldo]

The msnbc baghcam is melting down...is that morning fog?

[TigersEye]

The ALT key plus the numeric keys on the right produce special characters:

So that's where those are. Cool!

[Air Force Born]

With a little superglue one could really mess up a touch typist. Thats why us 'hunters' have an advantage.

[Consort]

Hold down the ALT key and type 0163 on the numeric keyboard to get £.

[Fledermaus]

What balderdash.

The Patriot Act does none of that.

Another liberal canard they peddle on NPR.

You can't talk to people like that, it's impossible. They aren't capable of independent thought.

[cyncooper]

Sean Hannity has lost it. He is pursuing a line of questioning with John McCain that makes no sense.

I'm trying to catch up reading and hope this gets explained as I continue reading. I would love to know what Hannity was asking.

Ok, I'll resume reading to see if further explanation is provided somewhere along the line...

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Jed Babbin sez:

"The news that the Marines discovered Saddam's nuclear weapons--including weapons grade plutonium--under the old nuke site at al-Tuwaitha seems too good to be true. Like most things that do, it probably is. Dr. Khidir Hamza was the head of Saddam's nuclear weapons program for nearly two decades. He told me today that he's very skeptical. If he is, so am I."

[Fledermaus]

I don't think it was replied to or expanded.

[ztiworoh]

We wathced the most biased report on the Patriot Act in my AP gov class, of course it was a Bill Moyers Report, so it was left slanted, sad thing is, the teacher didnt challenge the claims in the video and most of the class bought it

[SoldiersGirl]

balderdash! have you been sneaking reads on the new dirty word dictionary?
lol..
I know, he's been driving me nuts
he's one of the.."The iraqi's are only cheering because they're afraid the soldiers will shoot if they don't"

[Krodg]

Well said brother/sister!

Well said????

I have been here from Day 1 and have prayed for every solider, sometimes you saw my response and other times I was silent, but I prayed.

Michael Savage MSNBC

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I probably shouldn't encourage you, but..LOL!

Neil Cavuto was talking about Greta "what's the worst scase scenario" Van Susteran today. Not by name, but by actions. Greta rubs off on guests. Upbeat Generals begin to grumble and find fault.

 

"Pessimism
"Wankerism  never  won  any  battles.” ~ Dwight  Eisenhower

 

Closely paraphrased. (^;

[Fledermaus]

I've purged myself of those so-called friends. It's more gratifying to talk to my wife's cat. Oh wait, it died 4 years ago.

Still more gratifying though.

[Consort]

ALT + 0161 = ¡
ALT + 0165 = ¥
ALT + 0167 = §
ALT + 0191 = ¿
etc

[Miss Marple]

Cool! o163 works for me as well.

Why do nicmarlo and I have to use the super-secret code number?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I agree. I think Gen. Franks does, too. MOAB awaits, in case.

[crobnson]

Wow, you mean there are others!! I thought I was the only one who loves mac&cheese&tuna.

[SoldiersGirl]

dang
6 jdams of saddams bro in laws
we REALLY must not like him

[ztiworoh]

Honestly, that sounds repulsive, but to each his own...
