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.

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!

Turkey needs to be very careful....they lost there chance to have a say in matters when they told us to no. There is no way we will allow them to go after the Kurds.....that is why the 173rd Airborne was placed up there as a blocking force.

We've secured all of the southern oil fields.

Sky breaking: Coalition--Special Forces consolidating Mosul gains.

Question about where's Saddam and sons.

Gen. Renuart: do y'all draw straws to see who gets to ask?

I'm looking to the Bagcam. Where's the statue of Saddam? Is that a US tank in the square? (Sorry, I just felt like gloating)

I like how Vince stands in the background giving the evil eye while Renuart talks. How'd you like to have HIM staring down at you?

w/respect to psyops example:

Every day they announce how many leaflets they drop, etc. Reporters ask "do these leaflets really do any good?"

He said when they got to one of the oil fields, they found wellheads rigged with explosives, but the valves on the wellheads had been turned off. So even if the explosives had gone off (and most of them didn't), it wouldn't have done much serious damage. Then we captured some of the Iraqis who had actually rigged these explosives. We asked them why they turned the valves off and/or did a poor job of rigging the explosives. They replied "Because we read your leaflets. You told us that this oil belongs to the Iraqi people, and we would only be hurting ourselves. So we rigged them with explosives so we wouldn't get in trouble (aka get shot), but we fixed it so it would do the least amount of damage possible."

Way cool.

Question from George of Black Press: would you tell us if uniforms found match those from official list.

Gen. Renuart: No, I can't. It would be unfair to speculate.

Question from Rammesh lookalike: How are you changing military operations to [to fit situation in Baghdad]

Gen. Renuart: Good question. Natural transition from combat to peacekeeping ...need to have a secure environment for schools, markets to open.
