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!

" It's a great, descriptive word but makes me think of Jubilation T. Cornpone."

LOL! Now you've got me singing!!

[DaveManley]

What's everyone take on Bill Mahr? It seems to me he has some good points from time to time.

[maxamillion]

Just stopped in to check out belly girl & post a pic...

[umbagi]

oh crap, be right back, a skunk is at my back door.. truly.

If it's not too late: DON'T LET THE DOGS OUT!

[Fledermaus]

He's a pompous ass. He might, infrequently, make a good point but, as usual, it's hidden amongst his egotistical deliverance of that point.

Funny crap from a guy that made 2 B movies.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Here are a couple of good quotes from Fox during the war:

"Uday commands a group of people who are a cross between a goon squad and a kamakazi group."

"Iraqi t.v. is taking on a more professional look. Something like an MTV broadcast." (3-24-03)

[Fledermaus]

Uday, Quasy and Saddam make the Sopranos look like saints.

[Cate]

I think he's in the dog pen eating dog chow. Ugh. He sprayed out there as our dog was barking in the house and probably set him off. lovely... I'd rather have it out there instead of on the dog who sleeps in the house at night. We live by a lake and have been battling the ducks laying eggs by the back door. The momma ducks get really cranky when you walk by their nests. Its like animal kingdom here in the spring. My elderly neighbor always chases the boy ducks off the girl ducks, she uses a broom. She calls her back yard sex central cuz all the ducks hang out on her patio. Phew... I'm rambling..

[Cate]

Are you speaking from experience with skunks and dogs?

[Fledermaus]

ooh, duck porn! (ducking)

[Nam Vet]

You've GOT to see the thread about 72 VIRGINIANS ! It's a hoot. Osama-baby gets a real jolt of American reality.

[JLS]

I think the 4 ID probably felt cheated a bit and want Tikrit.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Chem. Ali looked like a mafia guy to me.

"My elderly neighbor always chases the boy ducks off the girl ducks, she uses a broom."

She needs to get a life! Sounds like you have your hands full there.

[GeorgiaYankee]

we're giving Tikrit to the 4th ID for target practice. Folks at the Pentagon want to know what a "digitized" heavy infantry unit can do. >>

I saw Tony Cordesman (ABC Military Analyst) saying that Tikrit is so flat and open that it's not defendable, not even Saddam's 2 palaces there. He said Saddam would only go there if he wanted to die.

One of Saddam's biographers said he may want to go down in history as a martyr. (Too late, even the Arab media calls him a tyrant.)

[Fledermaus]

I don't buy those Russian polls. I think they are polling the old elites.

I'd bet overall that most Russians support us.

[Cate]

where's the thread at, the one about the 72 Virginians?
