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, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

By my math, Day 4 lasted more than 24 hours. Never hit 6,000 this time -- still an amazing feat -- unless Saddam gasses Baghdad or something. Good night to all.

From another thread:

I just saw an Iraqi man from the INC (my guess is Iraqi National Committee or something) on FOX. He said he has been in contact with people in Baghdad and they have absolutely NO CLUE we are coming to Baghdad. And they aren't aware of what's been going on in the south.

Talk about shock and awe. What will they do when our armored divisions show up on the doorstep?

[Tree of Liberty]

Our POW's or theirs?

[SoldiersGirl]

Where did you get that info from?
If you have a link or anything can you post it?

[rolling_stone]

Nice pic, the sign is a little low though...is that belly girl II?

[Poser]

Good night Starr.

It seems to me that yesterday's thread started just after midnight EST, but I could be wrong.

[MEG33]

Humiliation was the only thing I could think of when my daughter got upset by it. I'm boycotting the pictures.

[Mo1]

Wow... you should see this new piece on Sky News about a fire fight today .. not sure where it was though

[Poser]

Belly Girl II is cool, but Belly Girl I rules!

[Tree of Liberty]

What do they think those things were the other night? Party streamers?

[PRND21]

What will they do when our armored divisions show up on the doorstep?

Explode.

[Orlando]

Where is the U.S. 4th Army (Div) now ?.
We need them as soon as possible to Help our troops
nearing Baghdad, are they still on Ships?

[BulletBobCo]

There is only one Belly Girl.

[SoldiersGirl]

sorry..
Our POW's
the dead are compltely unbottoned and open, and the POW's (the one lying on the mat) has his belt done but pants unbuttoned.
Could it be so they can go to the bathroom with their hands tied?
not trying to sound stupid here...

[Cboldt]

No matter how the leftist handwringers spin it, we are kicking the sh*t out of them.

And they are next.

[rolling_stone]

I don't recall but will look for it...

OK....what I did was(for the SKY NEWS internet link).....highlighted the link by running my cursor over the link while holding down my left mouse button. After it is highlighted....right clicked my mouse on the link.... and 'copied' the url. Then.....in a new window, click in the address bar on the top, right click and 'paste' the streaming video url.....and then just hit your enter key.

Does that make sense? I don't know what your level of 'puter' knowledge is, so hope I didn't offend by making this sound too basic. ;-)

David Bloom just reported that the Big Dogs are about to dance.

Third ID has a "strategic target". In between them and the "strategic target" is a "formidable Iraqi presence". I'm thinking we may be rushing the Karbala Gap. I'm hoping that we're topped off on fuel.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

There can be only one.
