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!

Rick reporting from the sacked and looted UN headquarters, good to see him in town and in a safer (?) environment. Poor Kent.

[Timeout]

Tell us about the interview with Cpl. Chin (even though I'm wincing at the thought of Chin with Pretty Chicken...if he only knew).
___________

BTW, I mentioned this earlier. Chicken Boy has reminded me of someone all along...the way he flips his hair around always struck a chord in my mind.

Then it hit me: William Hurt in Broadcast News! Remarkable resemblance in his mannerisms. Can you see it?

[Timeout]

Consider too, Hurt was playing an anchor who looked good but never understood the news he was reporting....apt, huh?

[oceanperch]

Fox was reporting the other day that Pres. Bush requested that he would not be shown "live" getting onto Air Force One.

Is that still in effect? And is there other shots he is requesting not be shown live?

[Timeout]

Cpl. Chin on Today Show

[dsmtoday]

Thanks for the link about the nuke site.

Marines hold nuclear site

Given that when someone finds a can of RAID, the media report it as a chemical weapons find, I can't believe I haven't heard anything else about that story. Any other backup to this story? What's the trust level on this story?

[Carolina]

William Hurt in Broadcast News! Remarkable resemblance in his mannerisms. Can you see it?

You're right. Could Liz be his Holly Hunter?

[Carolina]

Fox was reporting the other day that Pres. Bush requested that he would not be shown "live" getting onto Air Force One.

I hadn't heard that.

[dsmtoday]

Quick review of opinions... Who here thinks that France and the rest actually did us a giant favor with their obstinence?

Too many cooks spoil the broth - I'm glad they weren't part of the "coalition of the willing". We'd be getting second guessed by them constantly.

[AppyPappy]

They don't want terrorists to know when AF1 is within MANPAD distance.

[Carolina]

Woo hoo! Tony speaking to the Iraqis saying coalition won't stay a day longer than necessary. Iraq won't be run by Britain, or America, or the United Nations. It will be run by Iraqis.

Here's our President: Your nation will soon be free.

[Timeout]

Exactly! We witnessed him getting his "news" from Liz, then he would go on and report it as if he'd seen it for himself. Just like the movie.

Richard & Liz = Tom & Jane

[Carolina]

They don't want terrorists to know when AF1 is within MANPAD distance.

Did the networks oblige the President? I know that Sky News showed footage that I assumed were live.

[The Wizard]

New Vacation spot, Iraq

[oceanperch]

MANPAD?

[Carolina]

Exactly! We witnessed him getting his "news" from Liz, then he would go on and report it as if he'd seen it for himself. Just like the movie.

LMAO! Life imitating art.

[Timeout]

Didn't you say you missed the statue coming down yesterday?

MSNBC is showing live shots of Kirkuk main statue coming down right now.

[AppyPappy]

I think they did.

[mewzilla]

Sad news, guys, for anyone following the expolits of Kent the Pigeon, the bird who was with the troops that FOX's Rick Leventhal is embedded with. Apparently they set Kent out in his cage last night to get some air, and one of the local dogs, or mutts according to Leventhal, got to Kent and made a meal of him. RIP, Kent. You were a good and faithful bird.

[Carolina]

MANPAD?

Are we heading the wanker direction?
