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!

Special thanks to Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

[Trust but Verify]

This has been explained and makes sense. we do not want to take a hard line against people for non-violent crimes. We do not want them to fear us as they did Saddam. After a few days, things will settle down and the Iraqis will get themselves under control. Who cares if they clear out the bombed-out buildings? They're just going to be demolished, anyway.

[mewzilla]

The Russian Embassy is going to make like a roach motel: Iraqis we want come in, but they don't come out.

[Lauratealeaf]

Whaht? You think a Texan president would set up a California? I think this could be the way to sell a federal state, because I bet you cash money that the Kurds have heard of Texas!!

LOL! No. I know President Bush wouldn't set up a California. Just knocking California.

Great Cartoon

Problem is those fools still think they are right. They will just back off a bit and look for the next opportunity to grab back power. They are nothing but dictator wannabe's.

[TomGuy]

Am watching the AbuDhabi TV webcam. They are showing more and more images and statues of Saddam being torn down. Showing looting. Some minor skirmishes amongst the locals. [I have no idea what they might be verbalizing, but they are showing seeming uncensored video.]

[Carolina]

I love that cartoon! And there's Benedict Arnett skulking outside the cafe.

I agree. I believe that what you posted is verifiably true.

Watching CNN, Baghdad Bob's not so funny anymore. This journalist has been in Baghdad for years and is only now able to tell his story.

Seems Baghdad Bob told this journalist just last December that he was going to assasinate their jouranlists in their compound. The next day a plot was foiled with a truck full of explosives headed for their camp.

Henceforth he shall be known as Bad Baghdad Bob.

[Carolina]

If they want to send out their reporters to fight it out with the pockets of resistance in Baghdad, the remaining Iraqi forces in Tikrit, the terrorist stronghold on the Syria-Iraqi border, and the suicide bombers looking for their next target they should feel free to do so.

Then they'll whine about their guarantee of safety.

[Carolina]

Well, he's in Gen. Brooks' deck of cards. Maybe he's the Jack of Spades.

[TomGuy]

Cute cartoon, except that Gephardt has been on the administration's side in the war effort. Pelosi would be a more appropriate replacement at the table.

[Lauratealeaf]

The Russian Embassy is going to make like a roach motel: Iraqis we want come in, but they don't come out.

LOL! Wonder if Baghdad Bob has a taste for Borscht.

[BagCamAddict]

Thanks Jackie! I couldn't agree more! :-)

[MEG33]

I love to see our guys in front of that hotel on cam.

[Lauratealeaf]

I love to see our guys in front of that hotel on cam.

What cam are you watching?

After his speech to a Union Conference last week, I don't think Dickie G. is on any side other than his own. He knows his constituency is strongly behind Bush, so he goes along looking to the '04 elections. I guess coming along reluctantly is better than standing and whining though.

Daschle? Daschle? Tommy Daschle?

[Carolina]

Here's a great letter to Saranwrap:

AN OPEN LETTER TO SUSAN SARANDON Et Al (GO GET EM BARBARA!!!!!)

FoxNews showed a clip of a marine with a chisel and hammer. He was chipping off pieces of one of Saddam's downed statues and handed a piece to one of the other marines standing there. Looks like they are collecting souvenirs.
