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 Freda wre alive, she'd be on the right side, against war.

Which deserves this response, deadpan: Maybe, but Frida is DEAD.

How to cook a frozen pizza:

1. Get a pizza stone (or any flat stone for that matter, clay is best).
2. Heat it to 425 degrees f
3. Put the frozen pizza on it until done.

Voila... Crispy crust and unburnt top. There is no other way to do it right.

Quick oscar update: Michael Moore was resoundingly BOOED.

[raybo]

It's not the oill fires it's that Exxon and shell have pulled out of Nigeria(i think) due to the up comming elections. this will effect prices. we get 8-9% weekly supply from there.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

You think Banfield has potential and Savage is a loose-cannon...you're saying some pretty silly things.

MICHAEL MOORE just won.

Huge rant against Bush and the war.

f$$$ing ahole.

[SoldiersGirl]

Micheal Moore is a fat satan asswad.

"Shame on you mr. bush, shame on you" screaming it...oscars cut on the music and hurried him off stage.

[Wphile]

He was booed?

[Mo1]

he was booed???

[ztiworoh]

But he wwas summarily booed off!!!!

[prairiebreeze]

No, I'm not seeing it. I was clarifying that Bob was looking east from where he is.

Prairie

[Consort]

...Moore bashed Bush.

[Petronski]

And he was booed? This is true? I wish I'd seen it if true.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I don't think Basra's reaction is necessarily indicative. The CNN reporter with the 101st said that he encountered 2 towns that celebrated the troops arrival, and one that did not. Said 1 of the 2 positive towns was reserved until they were assured that we were there to stay, were not going to let them down. Also some of these areas have been treated better than others by Saddam, so it makes sense that some might be loyal and others not.

There were a few people clapping but more of the audience had a "you are an idiot" look on their face.

[gop212]

SOME BOOS. Some scattered applause.

[Wormwood]

Yes, clearly and distinctly booed. It was inspiring.

[Amelia]

You mean you're actually watching that crap?
