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...

Where did he say this?

[muslims=borg]

Belly Girl coloring books, comics, action figures, maybe a movie....potential is unlimited.

[gop212]

Yeah, you're right...these guys are good. Analysis should be great.

the reporters in the field going silent since early this morning.

Same thing happened just before shock and awe night. I know the DoD puts blackouts on the live satellite transmssions, and I would suspect that the possibility of triangulating their position is now a problem.

They say we are "within 50 miles of Baghdad." Now is the critical time, and reporters giving up positions could be disasterous.

Anyone else sick and tired of watching retired general officers pointing to maps and telling us things we already know?

[Tree of Liberty]

I got dibs on the action figure.

[ztiworoh]

Haha, Nice to hear O;Rielly call Al-Jazeera "Idiots"

[DonnerT]

Don't think the storm will give them much rest. After all, we are the ones camped out in the barren open while they are sleeping in their own beds.

I pray that I am wrong but I fear I'm not.

[Tree of Liberty]

Bah! YOu already mentioned it. Sorry, still hopped up on cough medicine.

[oceanview]

he said this, point blank, on the Batchelor & Alexander wabc radio show Friday or Saturday of last week. Vallely has been a regular on B&A since 9/11. based on "his sources".

[thedugal]

She is the new woman's heroine.

What the heck is a "new woman" and is it true that they have 3 boobs?

[newbie 10-21-00]

[gop212]

I like Vallely. You can tell he's one of the big dogs.

[RummyChick]

I never dreamed that Belly girl would become a poster girl of the situation room thread when I posted her days ago...

amazing how legends are born

[cyncooper]

Col. Hunt was on Brit's program earlier too and said the mission is going exceedingly well and while deaths are always tragic, must be kept in perspective.

[cajungirl]

That would be sweet wouldn't it,,I thought of that myself,,a bunch of our guys just come on the air.

[muslims=borg]

Is that like battling nausea and diarrhea simultaneously ?

[cajungirl]

Well Ann Coulter, Barbara Olsen, Laura Ingram are examples,,ladies who take no crap and kick A@@ if needed. Belly Girl just looks so cool and sure of herself,,I think we like that.
