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!

Leave it to the ComPost to put an anti-military spin on it:

"The rapid breakdown of Hussein's forces left U.S. commanders confused as to what to do next. War planners mapping out a final assault on Baghdad on Wednesday morning abandoned their work that night after crowds took to the streets and the government collapsed. They turned their attention to Kirkuk Thursday, only to find themselves again behind events. Today they had little left to think about but Tikrit, and now that, too, may prove moot."

If they fight us, the plan failed. If they don't, we're "confused as to what to do."

[GOPyouth]

It's going good. Break started today. I'm waiting on some friends to get ready so we can go out. I got hooked on SoCo down in N'awlins. :)

[ztiworoh]

My grandmother has a Maine Coon, she sisnt know it though till the Vet told her, she just though ti was fat


Someone else I know found a kitten on the road, brought it home, fed it, etc... fast forward a year and kitten is now 45 pounds, turned out it was a bobcat. They had to give it away as it could have hurt their kids.

[Lauratealeaf]

My celebration for spring break is on a short hold. heh heh I thought I heard Shep say a minute ago that Jazeera was reporting now that troops are tearing down walls??? Did I hear that wrong?

Speaking of drinks, can't go wrong with some Southern Comfort and Coke. I'll be consuming my share of that tonight

Yes, Shep says that in Basra they are hearing voices underground and can't find a door in. Could be a prison. Don't know who is in it.

[CurlyBill]

I'd buy some!

[Fledermaus]

Now that I am several years removed from that, I cannot for the life of me figure out how I did that night after night! LOL!!

It's called YOUTH!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Saddam had 3 half brothers.
Barzan Al Tikriti- who left this earth in pieces yesterday.
Watban Al-Tikriti - former Minister of Interior.
Sabawi Al-Tikriti

I think it may have been Sabawi who was captured.


Here's a listing for some of his family;

LOL I can't drink it straight yet. Not much I can drink straight. I used to slam Jager all the time, but it's gotten to the point where I about ralph when I shoot that. Only thing straight I can shoot now is probably Cabo Wabo.

[Sacajaweau]

Coke and 151 proof rum....Put your pajamas on before downing this!! Drinking Lessons 101.

[Jackie-O]

She's just like one of my kids..we call her baby-dog too but her name is Gina. Mom says it means little Princess.

[The Wizard]

Frank Luntz said tonight that the demonrats were going to keep themselves in the minority for the next few elections if they don't change their ways....

good, and then get rid of the RINO's like snowe....she betrayed us today

[retrokitten]

That would be a riot! We all ready have Wankel, Barney Wrank, Minority Wanker, many names for Bill Clinton, a couple for hillary, can't forget the Senate Democrats: Wankers of Mass Obstruction.

[SPC Milam]

i happen to be at Fort McCoy WI and waiting deployment for SW Asia and the only news channel available for us is CNN kinda funny

[pollyg107]

Poor Shep. Every night he says nobody is watching him. I'm suffering from major sleep deprivation from staying up way past my bedtime every night to watch the Shep-Rick-Greg-Ollie show.

[GOPyouth]

151 made me do stoooopid things back in college. lol. We used to go to Sonic and get a Route 44 coke or limeade, fill that sucker full of 151 and be lit for the night.

[Lauratealeaf]

He's a Maine Coon Cat....

Goliath...when he is sweet...

Dumba$$ when he bites my toes through the covers.

LOL! Put on more covers! Our cats are tabbies. Captain weighs about 15 pounds and Sabby is about 12 pounds. We got them while we were living at Fort Drum, New York. Great cats! Sleep on my legs though.

[Jackie-O]

Yeah that family too!

[tutstar]

OHhhhhh, thanks for your tagline. My dh is from Philly and with keeping up with the war we totally haven't kept up with sports. Go Flyers!!

[cyncooper]

What gives? Linda Vester just said the truck with the false paneling Rick found yesterday turned out to be nothing. Anyone have details on this?

Aaron, I went back to find your post because I had never heard a word about this except for what you said Linda Vester said.

Just wanted to say that Rick Leventhal did just say to Shep the truck did turn out NOT to be a bio weapons lab. So you did hear Linda correctly.

[stripes1776]

Don't put Putin in the insignicant category yet.

I think Putin played the politics of the war in Iraq about as good as he could. Politically, Putin had to oppose the war in Iraq due to the overwhelming opposition in his country. He let Chiraq go out on a limb and threaten to veto a UN resolution to go to war, while he stayed in the background. France and Germany come out of this with lower prestige. It's a wash for Russia.
