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...

They would still have us pulling 16 pound Napoleans behind a 4-hitch of Belgians.

Great way of putting it! Good thing the experts weren't in charge of this war.

Actually, I read in the Wall Street Journal today that the "Rumsfeld" technique is expected to become the new model for fighting forces. Nothing succeeds like success.

"Now that my age has caught up with me, I have to make too much of an effort to stay slim. "

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends. (^;

I'm worried I'm going to try refreshing my tv when the cable goes wonky
or refreshing my steering when the red light is taking too long
lol, I might even try to refresh the newspaper!

[retrokitten]

You know what is more evil? When you hit refresh and there's nothing new posted!

[SoldiersGirl]

it's a good thing my butt is behind me so I'm not forced to look at it all day!

[retrokitten]

Did you all collectivly decide not to post right then to make me refresh like crazy?

My wife tells the same, she was in Cairo as a child 1965 to 1967. Got kiacked out when the 6 Day war started. When they opened the door of the plane the stench nearly made her sick, then came the drive through the city of the dead to add a little spice. Border to border filth.

[SoldiersGirl]

couple days ago, I responded to a post in my comments...I sat and refreshed 20 times, started to panic thinking something was wrong...read FN a bit, came back and refreshed again...still nothing
about 10 panicked minutes later I realized I answered a post from day 19....and we were already on day 20.

[Nam Vet]

LOL

[retrokitten]

LOL!!

[umbagi]

*snicker*

None of the rest of us ever do anything like that...

*snicker*

;-)

[SoldiersGirl]

it wasn't funny! :-)

I thought there was some major FR crash or something...I was sitting here feeling all lost...like oh no, now what do I do???


that has to be a sign of something

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

[Air Force Born]

No, Never

*sheepish*

[longtermmemmory]

Fox reported a poll which said americans rate FRANCE as our number 3 enemy after two terrorist.

[retrokitten]

Since the thread is slow tonight, I'd like to post this 'cause it makes me laugh...

what's even more frustrating is when you've hit refresh several times, and decided to make a post to yourself, and by the time you've hit the post button, there are 10 new replies :o)

[TomGuy]

It seems the big loser, other than the obvious Saddam and thugs, of this is Al Jazeera TV. It seems the entire Arab world is p|ssed at them because they lied about the real situation--the actual events leading to fall of Saddam and the Republican Guard.

[SoldiersGirl]

yeah I saw that
N.Korea
Iraq
and FRANCE??

I thought it would be like china or russia..lol..I guess we're all collectively po'd at france

Hang on to your seat, Mo. It's the Spanish reporter, Senor Motor Mouth.

Is a Spanish "human shield" a wanquero?
