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...

LOL, I am in the same mess, should I stay or should I go:)

Hmmm... this probably means someone inside that tent got a shot off at him when he took off running. The person who did the shooting deserves a medal in my book.

damn...fnc needs to cut to sky news

is it just an alarm going off?

[texxie]

nite have a good one

OLeary says in the next 12 hours. Maybe you can grab a nap? You've been posting every time I've checked in :)

[austex]

man - I hope we find some of those chemical weapons - I'm a bit nervous we won't and then we'll look stupid. I can't handle my nazi/fascist acquaintances having the least little bit of ammunition

I'm attacking Kamchatka from Irkutsk

[BulletBobCo]

Anybody reload .223? I think I'm about to start. The Russian stuff is cheap, but shoots a 3" group at 100 yards. It's darn hard to hit a dime with this ammo. I'm just going to have to load my own.

If the dime had the face of Sodamn on it, you'd probably hit it.

If you can believe this, I have been on and off this computer since about 5:20 AM PST!!! I really need to get some sleep.

Don't know .. wasjust a quick -- Iraqi's Firing on Marines in Umm Qasr and a possible Gas/Chem warning also (I guess that means an alarm went off - I don't know)

I could lay on the couch with the tv on...but if I sleep through anything I'll be mad...
not like I won't be able to see reruns of it all day tomorrow on every station, but thats kind of like taping the superbowl and watching it after you already heard the final score.

sadly, I've been around pretty much from day 2 thread to day 4 thread, minus about 4 hours.

Don't waste your time with reloading it. Go buy a bunch of South African PMP ammo. J&G Sales (http://www.jgsales.com/) had it very cheap but is currently sold out. Should have it in stock again. I have personally shot off a few thousand rounds of it with zero problems. I know others who have gone through 10s of thousands with zero problems.

"If the dime had the face of Sodamn on it, you'd probably hit it."

In fact, we were shooting Saddam and Osama targets at 300 yards today. I love the net. I can print color targets for about 5 cents each.

Yeah but this one the Game isn't even to halftime and we already know the final score .. hehehehe

I've missed tons of stuff! My chem prof had the nerve to schedule a test for last Friday morning. And now my parents are arriving in a few days so I ought to be cleaning my house.
