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...

CNN reporter.... Iraqi's dressed as civilians and walking by the Americans under white flags have combat observers enbedded with the civilians and are calling in artillery on our forces as they walk by..

House guests today?

This morning I woke up to the unmistakable scent of pigs in a blanket. That's the price you pay for letting the relatives stay over.

Lacey is interesting, he says the resentment theory is nothing that's going around at the site. The men he attacked weren't even his superiors. Not a chain of command problem. He said it was about his religious beliefs.

Thought I'd repeat it...

Night Night I am gonna hit it by 8am myself.

They all use our compassion and goodness against us. It's quite a Catch-22.
