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!

Okay, I will, but fair warning, I try to avoid my husbands family at all costs. I could write a book about those people.

People tell me the things my weird in-laws do are funny, but I guess because I am living them I don't see it.

Well, the one time she showed my brother in-law a picture of Jesus and said in a really loud voice (like he was very hard of hearing and didn't speak english very well), "IT'S A PICTURE OF JESUS. DO YOU KNOW WHO JESUS IS?" That was really funny.

[Jackie-O]

I guess this is a good time to get my shower and cut my little man's hair.
Be back in a few!

[retrokitten]

(Add tuna, it helps)

Are you serious???? I'm sorry if you like that, but cheesy tuna sounds so gross to me!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Lt. Colonel's very enthusiastic tonight!

I like this special edition of FoxNews...the three hour primetime FoxNews line-up is unhelpful during wartime. Is there anything sillier than armchair opiners lecturing the winning generals?

Lt. Col. Tom McInerney: "We're in the culmination phase of the whole campaign...we've got the Global Hawk and Predators looking at the ground 24 hours a day...we're going to be attacking 75,000 troops in the north...we have the overmatch because we have the surveillance and the precision....Mosul...when we wake up (Mosul will be fallen)...Tikrit...could be a big fight...and to the west...El Qa'im...important...most of SCUDS to Israel in Gulf War (came from there) ... and (it's an) easy escape route to Syria.  

[retrokitten]

This is not a joke..

I have some very dear Brit friends. My best friend's mother (very Queen Eliz-like) used to allways tell us "No Swearing!!" in the cutest little Proper English Lady voice! I used to call her weekly after Kurt moved to CA just to hear say "Hallew!" She's been gone about 2 years now and I really miss her! (made the most heavenly beef pie too! No kidney...)

[retrokitten]

I don't think this is supposed to be funny, either, but it is...

oh man


lol

you reap what you sow Tim

[Jackie-O]

My former in-laws are the in-laws from hell...I've had lots of practice and have full body armour. ;0)

[retrokitten]

How did that work? Did you smack them with it or encourage them to hit you so they would hurt themselves or what?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" CNN--Scott "The Stud" Ritter saying the BUSH admin needs to PROVE that Saddam has/had the WMDs..."

Did you hear Paula Zahn, the rocket scientist, say " that even the Pentagon admits a lot of this was pesticides". Last I heard, Sec Rumsfeld said it would take days to verify the nature of any of the suspect materials. Guess Ms Werner von Braun has better sources than Donald Rumsfeld. Earlier,Alcee Hastings( Crook-Fla) was on Crossfire with Dana Rohrabacher and Alcee was spitting mad,popping a vein furious,that the war has gone so well.

[Jackie-O]

Problem with them is that the are still in a GW1 state of mind...21st Century war Fellas!!

[Fledermaus]

More idiocy from the so-called educated Left....pesticides ARE chemical weapons. Morons.

But then again, it's Paula Zahn.

[cyncooper]

So, Nancy Pelosi said, in part:

WE COULD HAVE PROBABLY BROUGHT DOWN THAT STATUE FOR A LOT LESS'...


How sad and pathetic to so willfully ignore the reality of life in Iraq just a few days ago. And when the WMD are found----and I think some have been----and documented, she will look worse than a fool. I hesitate to say the word that springs to mind.

[BillM]

You just demoted a three star general to Lt Col.

[cyncooper]

Unbelievable. What a total idiot.

Worse than idiocy, IMO.

[SoldiersGirl]

lol
we're women, to us all men are just little boys with bigger toys.
3 star, Lt. Col...they both probably pee on the seat and can't get their drawers into the hamper :-)

My former in-laws are the in-laws from hell...I've had lots of practice and have full body armour. ;0)

That's too bad.

Mine are pretty cool.

When I first met mine and had to introduce them to a friend of mine, I called them my "outlaws" to their face instead of the inlaws. Was a good icebreaker and made for a real comedy night at the house.

What are those bumps on the 'F' and 'J' keys for, anyway?

They're where your index fingers should rest when your hands are positioned to type.
