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...

nah...but you all should write protest warrior and tell them she has become a legend

[spodefly]

ABC news running its nightly hit piece on the President. (What Washington is really saying "behind the President's back.")

bevelacqua now saying he has seen some defense department video (shown to him by the woman who gives the pentagon briefings) of the human rights abuses of the regime. he says that are unreal, and has cemented his feelings that the "inner circle" guys need to die.

now tell me, why can't they release some of that video?

Good on that Padre. The Pope's pronouncements on this are NOT binding on the Catholic faithful.

[Tree of Liberty]

ROFL!

"talking heads"

I actually heard a supposed military strategist on NBC say that nothing is going right and that it is all going very badly for our side. Wishful thinking on his part, I suppose.

But the worst thing that for this war is when we hear them say, "In other news..." (Or maybe that will be our signal that things are going swimmingly for us!)

I think all three apply in your case

Go shopping now

bu-bye

I'm really getting tired of the media telling us stuff that we know or can surmise.

Well, I think we better get use to it, because I think that is all we're going to get with the exception of clips from a previous battle. I don't think we will witness any more of the shock and awe. They probably decided its too much for us to handle.

abc = asinine broadcasting corp

[ztiworoh]

Because, like Bevelacqua said before, we're too PC, don;t want to offend anyone, it's a big problem IMO in America, everytihng is sugarcoated

[justshe]

So YOU'RE the one to blame every time there is this deviation into hormone overload on the LIVE threads? I swear your can hear the drool dripping onto MANY keyboards.

Hmmmmmm.........

[TomGuy]

Bursts and flashes on Bagdad webcams (CNN and MSNBC)

[pitinkie]

I saw that too..disgusting.

[mystery-ak]

I love Col Hunt....I betcha when he barked orders it scared the s--- out of everyone!

[cibco]

"I got dibs on the action figure."

How about the inflateable doll...?

[muslims=borg]

Good idea...she should get an appearance on Fox news too.

[ztiworoh]

Yeah, I could definately see him doing a good Full Metal Jacket impersonation

[TexKat]

O'reilly making fun of the reporters with an accent...he will probably get flamed

O'reilly is used to getting flamed. Thats the best part of his show anyway, when he reads his e-mail.

My favorite are the 100 lb women who knock out 200 lb men on tv.. yeah.. that's reality! Isn't Ann Coulter the one who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote? [hehehe] I don't think there is anything "new" about what you describe. Terms like "nag" and "hen pecked" go way back :p
