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...

Do you have any idea in which city this picture was taken?

one buff loaded with 500 lb gravity bombs can take out an area 1/2 mile wide and two miles long.

That'd be a 50 foot deep set of swimming holes, sir.

Listening to replay of Rummy kicking Russerts ass. The adults are in charge.

[Tree of Liberty]

Nope. No sign of him since the first bomb dropped.

There was something about her, maybe her wit given what she is doing, that I really liked. Maybe she will have a book worth reading after all of this.

[Poser]

Good night everyone. I'll see you at sunset tomorrow (in Baghdad).

I still think that many in the left are the pus that flowed from that sebacious cyst we had for a President for 8 years.

I just think we have a few more perscriptions to treat the bacteria then we did back then.

An old gentleman that I know, a retired attorney and AF pilot, likes to wink at me and say, "Don't you worry about it. You will never see another Democrat President in your lifetime. America is waking up."

I'm not old, but I am in the thick of life. My three children will understand life, and are replused by liberal ideology. They know love, and hard work, and God. All that being said, I agree with your old gentleman friend. Right is right, and tired of being passsive.

Good night poser

[BulletBobCo]

I can't believe that MSNBC cut to a commercial in mid sentence of someone talking about the discovered chemical factory possibly being the smoking gun that they have been talking about.

[knak]

goodnight

'nite poser

She was a treat compared to some of the reporting from sky news.

Bush Sr lost because of Ross Perot, no questions, if and or butts about it. Bush certainly DIDN'T lose because he was TOO conservative. Wasn't about the economy either. Bush SR picked a very bad Supreme, made a famous promise he broke about taxes, and Ross Perot took the margin from him. Without Ross Perot, Bush would have won about 53 to 47 over Clinton, in my opinion based on total vote counts.

Clinton won re election because the economy was flying, and the GOP had stole some thunder from the 96 race in 94. Some people felt comfortable with the idea of a mixed govt, the congress controlled by the GOP, but the WH run by a Dem.

The GOP has a very strong hold now, and should get stronger. Though it would help TREMENDOUSLY if Bush could pass the tax cuts and we see some strong signs of recovery going forward. Still, even with a bad economy, the Dems have only a bunch of lousy candidates to run.

I haven't seen him. Who was it that went, yesterday(?) to the visit the Arab countries to try and drum up support?

[Fledermaus]

Still, even with a bad economy, the Dems have only a bunch of lousy candidates to run.

That's what a lot of people said in 1992.

[Diver Dave]

Speaking of the Clinton years, have ya noticed that under this President, 0 aspirin factories have been bombed, the Chinese embassy is intact, and the shepards abiding with their flocks by night are going about their business and no camels have received a million dollar cruise missile in the butt?

Can it be that W doesn't need to Wag the Dog, Congress is not involved in the process of impeaching him, and their are no blue dress interns waiting in the inner offices?

[BulletBobCo]

Concur with that.
