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...

OOOOhhhh nice,,I like the one on the lower left standing on the rocks,,but we need more clarity in the pic. I still think if we could get our boy hooked up with BG the children would be something. That girl needs a husband. Then her pants will be higher and she will become downright demure!!

Yeah that's the call to prayer. It sounds like someone is strangling a cat.

Am I the only one who thins that Oreilly congratulating himself on his ratings is obnoxious?

"battle of Bagdad begins" according to Drudge.

I had my first listen to the "prayer calls" the other day, with PMSMBC Cam in one WM player and listening to Rush in another. The prayer call started the same time that I happen to be listening to Rush's 2nd hour. So I kept *waiting* for Rush's punch line, thinking it was on his show and this was an intro to another parody of his. Then I muted Rush and that sound was still in my speakers.

Tough decisions at Baghdad gates

It is far too early to talk of the campaign bogging down or even faltering. Doom-mongers should remember that the allied attack started only four days ago. They have been spoilt by memories of the briefness of the Gulf war of 1991 and the rapidity of the recent Northern Alliance victory in Afghanistan.

Okay spectr.... don't pawn off your brother on us

[slimer]

Iraqi's getting blasted all over the place. Marines, AF, and Army kicking major butt, Media clymers wringing their hands and saying we are losing. There you are caught up.

That's a pretty good summary. I would just and one thing...

Saddened, deeply saddened.

[Miss Marple]

I am a woman of many interests. Ahem.

[oceanview]

CNN reporting it, that's all I see right now.

[DollyCali]

Now you're talking rummy

[Jackie-O]

Freepmail, Tex! ( I know how to use it) OK I'm done being a sarcastic beehach now, really!

[cajungirl]

The aims of the Gulf War I were much smaller than the aims of this war,,,

[knak]
