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...

If they are still in their blankets this early and you can smell them, I'd say they might be French.

God's gift your job.

Reading some comments earlier about strategy to bomb behind the enemy to show them what we've got,...that crap has got to stop! No more of this PC garbage! Don't try to "shock and awe the enemy,...KILL THEM!!

[momofsixgirls]

yeah, he should get some. Actually, he's pretty great guy, he's a veteran. Stationed in Germany late 70s early 80's, never saw combat, but saw and had to do some pretty bad stuff just the same.

We can't keep allowing these Iraqis to get this close..

Take them prisoners and sort it out later..

[The Wizard]

Iraq is going to show the prisoners taht got lost and drove into a company of Iraq Soliders...THEY DID NOT CATCH them in a fire fight, or by THEIR OWN efforts, it waqs just an acccident....I pray to the Lord that they are smart enough to treatthem well

[cajungirl]

Gee, I never thought the surrenders would have GPS,,Saddam is really evil isn't he. But if we were defending our country, I think we would do the same thing, don't you think?

Dare I guess the religious affiliation?

Naaaahhhh!

[momofsixgirls]

you are so right...can't imagine being anything else!

[cajungirl]

Ditto,,my doc once asked how long I had been tired,,I answered 19 years! My oldest was 19. Having a baby was a treat in the olden days, we went to the hospital for five days and got to sleep and eat and lie around. These drive by deliveries are cruel and inhuman in my opinnion.

[oceanperch]

The scent of food or the scent of your guests?

[austex]

been asleep for 9 hours....whats the latest news...last I hear 120 soldiers were engaged in combat and a plane was missing...and a soldiew threw grenades into a tent...??

[MagnusMat]

[cajungirl]

You missed the Iraqis at the river and believe me they weren't singing shall we gather at the river,,one of my favorite hymns by the way. We need a thread on favorite hymns to calm our nerves this morning.
