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:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running over the weekend and Monday, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Renuart: By leaflet, broadcast: Stay at home, avoid military formation, equipment associated with regime. stay off the roads. Battlefield dangerous as reporters have mentioned.

[SoldiersGirl]

I thought I heard him say weenies, then I thought it was too good to be true. Glad to see it wasn't :-)

[Carolina]

Renuart: We're on track. We'll deal with the irregulars when we encounter them. commending troops for securing waters.

[cyncooper]

We are constructing camps for the enemies we have detained.

Red Cross will be able to visit and inspect.

Demining waters, using dolphins!

Re: Lube jobs (etc.) on the move

This wasn't a lube job. The engine of the Bradley was OUT of the tank. It looked more like a major engine repair or overhaul.

we're even using dolphins

[Carolina]

Renuart: Ships being loaded with humanitarian aid. Will be deployed soon.

[Petronski]

They're using trained dolphins in mine-searches. Call PeTA!

My expectation was that we would have around 1000 by now. People will come around. Lots of people were shocked about last Friday's bombing but they got over it by Mon. This is only the sixth day. If we do not loose the people this might be a good chance to expose the media for what they truly are. Bush is playing for all the marbles. If all of this comes of, if the larger stategy works, he will go down as one of the great leader of history - on the par with Churchill or Charles the V. America will also find that she once against stood firm in the face a barbarity and defended civilization.

CENTCOM: Using trained Dolphins to help find mines!

[Nexus]

We have trained dolphins searching for mines, per briefing.

Shhh. Don't tell PETA.

[AppyPappy]

Will a Bradley motor fit inside the passenger compartment of the Bradley?

[gop212]

I like Barnes too. Sometimes he doesn't get his point across as well verbally as he does on paper. The WEENIE comment was funny.

[Catspaw]

Gen. Vince Brooks is up.

[gortklattu]

Yeah, Kondrake is the one of the two that I find myself disagreeing with. I would take Fred Barnes points before K's...

[steveegg]

Video slideshow coming up now.

[gop212]

Appreciate it. Still no SkyNews?

[cyncooper]
