Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.

John......did you start a thread??

[texasbluebell]

This is so great.

Charles Krauthammer saying: "I rise in defense of the looters."

Saying the Shi'ite are mainly looting those who have oppressed them for 30 years, the govt, the Hussein residences, etc.

He's right too. They deserve a few days to work their anger out and to get back a little of the billions that were stolen from them.

[Carolina]

To counter the Pelosi thesis that the Clinton military is responsible for the victory in Iraq:

The Clinton Army: [Rebuttal to] Left Claims Clinton Helped Military [NewsMax]

[Aaron0617]

Its still 3 hours before daylight in Iraq, But I think this will be one of those rare 24 hrs where not a single Brit/US soldier has been injured.

Marines stopping that suicide bomber attempt, earlier this morning, obviously helped.

Good job by catching that. Of course the guy was walking towards them with a black briefcase.

[Timeout]

The evening news story was in the Washington Post today:

U.S. Uses Iraqi TV to Send Its Message:

The efforts in Iraq are the most urgent part of a long-range administration plan to blanket the Arab world with programming promoting American ideals, including a future 24-hour satellite station, the Middle East Television Network

This a such a smart idea!

_____________

What is that view on our BagCam....I'm on NTV.

Oo-o-oh say can you seeeeeee?

Is there still a palm treeeeeee?

[Timeout]

Please tell me about stopping the suicide homicide bomber!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Wasn't that great!!?

FN: Charles Krauthammer w/ Fox All Stars:

 

"I rise in defense of the looters."

 

"I would not risk a single hair of a single American soldier in defense of the home of Tariq Aziz."

 

(^;

 

 

[hoosiermama]

"Oo-o-oh say can you seeeeeee?
Is there still a palm treeeeeee?"

FUNNY! Needed that laugh!

[null and void]

What else have I missed?

We're going to round up all bag cam addicts and put them in forced detox.

24/7 CNN until they don't ever want to see news again...

[texasbluebell]

So great! Glad you got the rest of his quote too. I couldn't get it all down!

[BagCamAddict]

Furthermore... Here in Oregon, when the war started, we had about 5 days of nasty anti-war protesting, where they blocked streets, bridges, even Interstate-5... broke windows, painted graffiti, various other minor damage... they blocked one bridge for over 8 hours... and there was even one police officer was injured. The protesting is ONGOING with some people involved in sleep-ins in downtown Portland.

Are there reporters asking when the city of Portland will get this under control? When will it stop? What was your plan to handle this? And why have you let it go on so long? Don't you have a responsibility to protect everyone else?

Heck no they don't ask those questions!! Apparently it's ok for hippies to disrupt the lives of the rest of us, but it's not ok for Iraqis to "celebrate" (with some looting and vandalism) freedom after decades of oppression.

Are transcripts available of the Pentagon Briefings? This one is a classic.

[null and void]

People are now asking what CNN is covering up for Castro.

What did CNN know?
And when did they know it?

[OldFriend]

There are factions in Russia too. I suspect Putin could be toppled at any time. Not suggesting that is imminent now,but that it is always a possibility.

[null and void]

Please tell me about stopping the suicide homicide bomber not-so-smart bombs!

[OldFriend]

Thanks for making the sacrifice for us........

Seriously tho, it is so complicated and needs lots of explaining before I understand it all.

[Timeout]

MSNBC just showed a hugh poster of Saddam Hussein, smoking a cigar, hugh grin, posed in front of a large mural of the planes hitting the World Trade Center.

I hadn't seen that. It made me very sad.

[Carolina]

Hey, how about this for freeper research:

U.K. “Human Shield” Who Insulted USMC Liberators At Palestine Hotel Exposed (My Research!) by AmericanInTokyo

Her name is: Uzma Bashir (32) from Yorkshire, England.

Among the interesting things uncovered about her:

--She is a rabid anti-American who is active on the internet sending messages of anti-American propaganda during the prosecution of the war, based in Baghdad.

--She was a so-called 'human shield', which US officials, Senator Lindsey Graham and others consider as possible 'war criminals'.

--Uzma Bashir was a contestant on the British version of "Survivor" two years ago, in South Asia, and even has a PR agent listed on the web as a result of that and subsequent appearances.

--Uzma Bashir is a millionairess, according to UK press reports, and runs a nursery school in Northern England.

[OldFriend]

KKK's doing what? How come?

[null and void]

On the bright side, he's really smoking now...

[OldFriend]

SadDAM Hussein was dead on the first day. If that had been announced the world media would be demanding we stop the war......at that very first moment.
