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.

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!

[Jackie-O]

Anyone who serves his/her country, whether in combat, or on a supply mission, and is captured by the enemy and more than likely tortured by tis savage enemy, is a hero in any book.
How's that? ;0)

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Now we'll know the full story of all that happened at the capture and later. Here's hoping that when they were rescued, that their captors were captured or killed. I'm specfically refering to the Iraqi who was shown on TV grinning over the dead bodies of our soldiers. He won't be grinning with a rope around his neck.

[melodie]

BTW...i called someone a wanker in front of my teenagers yesterday so the word has been passed onto the general public...lol

[Timeout]

Oops, you're right. Rick's with the 1st Marine Division.

[Green]

Didn't Rick recently switch to a different unit? I don't think he is with the same unit he was travelling with earlier in the war.

[najida]

I heard they were found due to a tip from a civlian.

[Catspaw]

Their captors took off--the command officers with the unit. The ones that were left took the POWs and sought out a Marine unit (it was probably the first US unit they found) and turned them over. I doubt if we'd treat those who turned them over badly--in fact, those Iraqis would be a great source of intel for us.

Can you imagine the elation of those Marines when they realized who they had?

[Jackie-O]

Good, let them think it's a bad swear...I remember when my oldest son used to think "pantyhose" was a bad word, so he ran around using it for a long time before I clued him in!

[Jackie-O]

I head the same on FNC, they said Franks said that.

[Catspaw]

Wolf Blitzer asking Franks what his hunch is regarding Hussein.

Franks: My boss doesn't allow me to have hunches.

Blitzer is the King of the Pinheads.

[TomGuy]

Per what CNN was reporting, the Iraqi "leaders" fled, leaving the Americans in the "custody" of low-level Iraqi soldiers--who apparently didn't want the responsibility for "retaining" them.

Wouldn't it be ironic if those remaining Iraqi soldiers surrendered to their American POW's?

[Jackie-O]

head=heard
Need more coffee!

[Timeout]

The Washington Post has an excellent recap article on the entire military operation of the war:

HOW THE WAR WAS WON

[Sparky760]

No word from Leventhal. I'm just very thankful that Bob Franken was on the ground at the air base and could eyeball them for us.

This is a case where these imbedded reporters is a problem. I mean this is wonderful news no matter if these Americans were MIA or POW, but just imagine the poor families right now. Until they get confirmed status from the military they are going to be a wreck. I wish they would hold off on this kind of news till the families are notified. Right now the news agencies are tripping over each other trying to scoop this.

That said let's pray we get them all back alive and healthy. God bless our troops.

[MEG33]

I am with you..they are my heroes!Praise God!

[Consort]

First CNN (Franken)said they were Marines, now a CNN graphic says the are soldiers. Now Franken again says they are Marines.

[MEG33]

Amen

[Green]

Sounds like Franken needs to take a break and figure out the story them get back to CNN sheesh

[POGIFFMOO]

CNN can't seem to stay on my TV.....channel keeps changing.

[GOPyouth]

Night, all.
