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!

I have a friend who corrects me for pronouncing it 'cash' grrrr

Give your friend a dictionary and tell him to look up "cache" and "cachet." They'll probably both be on the same page, so he won't strain himself too much.

[DaveManley]

You think its all downhill from here?

[umbagi]

When Larry died, my fear was that he might have willed us the snake.

There was talk of trading in Iraqi souveniers tonight...

At about 13yoa, I went to a Boy Scout Jamboree in Colorado Springs (1960, I think -- I got to shake President Eisenhower's hand!), and for my main "trading stash" I took about 40 rattlesnake skins, from 3' to 6' in length, with the rattles still attached. I got lots of good loot for them!

In Missoula its pretty liberal due to the University being there, but as you come up the Bitterroot Valley, its gets more conservative. Our most liberal person lives next door to me, an old hippy who is now a science teacher. He learned the first week in the house not to get into any big discussions with me. Since he and his wife have had children, he's become more conservative which in my opinion, is a good thing! Or maybe the nightmare of me becoming more liberal and smoking dope naked in his front yard scared him.

"Do the ducks duck? "

No, the ducks f***....er....do something else. All she knows is there are a LOT of feathers around when they're done.

I would like it to be downhill, but the snake is still struggling...They could be preparing a last stand or running for the hills...time will tell...

If you ever want to snake hunt in Montana, head for the Helena valley. Sorry, but I won't take you there. I'd fix you dinner and offer you a glass of wine, but no snake hunting for me.

These guys on Fox:

The plan was what hurt the chem/bio attempt of Saddam.

1. No bombing first.

2. Troops moving immediately.

3. Decapitation strikes.

"Or maybe the nightmare of me becoming more liberal and smoking dope naked in his front yard scared him."

Hmmm....."scared" didn't come to mind"..lol!

[Cate]

You're right about the feathers, I should save them for a pillow or something-- oh wait, they're all stuck together with goopy stuff...hhahaha.

[Mo1]

BTW, to all I am not sure MOAB is worth the unbelieveable leftist whining that is would bring forth if we used it. It would need to be a target that was well suited for MOAB to be worth it.

The Looney Left has been against this all from day one, so it doesn't matter what they think

As for having it over there .. Shock & Awe .. maybe we will use it .. maybe we won't .. but I'm guessing a few neighboring countries don't want to find out

[JLS]

Yep the internet is a wonderful and scarey thing.

[TheLion]

Anybody got any good Iraq map links or one they could post here that is sharp, not to big and has all the cities we keep refering to? I haven't yet found one I like on the net yet.
