Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - 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 breif description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, and, of course, Belly Girl...

What a nightmare! For the DOD, for Franks, for the unit, for the military in general! Methinks, some re-thinking of many things needs to occur. Politically correct be damned!!

[killjoy]

well unless you are welsh you are probably not he

Not me. I started using it after watching 'The Young Ones' on MTV. pRick said to Niel something to the effect of "Stop being such a killjoy" and it stuck.

If not a firing squad then let him rot on Gitmo. On that note I'm signing off....I need some sack time....

[ztiworoh]

Well, i guess we could argue semantics

Ill amend it, he was one who they though was one of their own

[RummyChick]

how much does all this satellite time and video uplinks etc cost for these reports from the middle east?

[Jackie-O]

I have to go lay down for a while now, that was hard work! Do me a favor? If I nod out, and it starts to boom-boom in Bagdad, please holler: JACKIE!!!!!WAAAAKKKKEEE UUUUPPPP!

[texxie]

night have a good one

[killjoy]

One (or two) US soldier has done more harm to US soldiers than all of Iraq has so far....that makes me physically ill.

What is we start testing that 'alleged' anthrax on him and wait and see the results?

[SoldiersGirl]

Can you be a Muslim and a good US soldier? If so, then things don't neccessarily need to change because that would be against all America stands for, if not, then why are they in our military at all?

>As the U.S. geared up for military action in Afghanistan, Army Chaplain Capt. Abd Al-Rasheed Muhammad began questioning the permissibility of a fight against fellow Muslims.

Here's one chaplain who thought that way.

[gop212]

Good night to all. Let's all hope DAY 4 is victorious, and Kiran Chetry makes an AM FOXNEWS appearance.

[glock rocks]

g'nite.

appreciated your posts today.

[Robert A Cook PE]

But, as with the immediate reaction during the 9-11 hijackings, the next "fragging" incident won't stop with "arrest" and detention:

Think pistols and M-16's and live ammo, preceded by hand grenades in the bunker where the next guy is found hiding.

[SoldiersGirl]

Would be a shame if he got in the way of a Moab....not.

Logic 101 By Dennis Miller

* Between Saddam Hussein and George Bush, Hussein is the bad guy.
* If you happen to have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind: They have Lybia heading the committee on Human Rights and Iraq is heading the global disarmament committee.
* If you use Google search and type in ''French Military Victories'' your reply will be ''did you mean French Military Defeats?''
* If your only anti-war slogan is ''No War For Oil'' sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserved.
* Saddam Hussein and bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.
* Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the President; He plays one on TV.
* Even if you are anti-war, you are still an infidel and bin Laden wants you dead too.
* If you believe in a vast right wing conspiracy but not in the dangers that Hussein possesses, quit hanging out with the Dell Computer dude.
* Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.

Me too. I'll see you guys tomorrow after I get back from the shooting range. I'm going to readjust my scope and give it a try. Frankly, I think the cheap Russian Ammo isn't very accurate.

My gun looks just like the one on the tv right now.

[demnomo]

Awful. Prayers for the families of those Marines. It is so frustrating to hear how this incident is being reported. Most of the major news outlets are ommitting an important fact--the murderer is a Muslim!!!

The news anchors are just saying that he was disgruntled. Yeah, right. I will say that he was disgruntled and disturbed like all treacherous Islamofascist SOBs tend to be towards the hated infidel. If he was so concerned about killing fellow Muslims, why didnt he just shoot himself in the foot and get out of duty the old fashioned way?

I hope that this horrific attack tempers the PC attitude of some military planners just as profiling has been tempered due to the events of 9/11/01.

[US_Pride]

I've heard that what scares the hell out of muslims is to be buried with a pig (or pig parts)... supposedly they can't go to heaven if that happens.... (something to do after the execution)
