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...

True, but we still have an advantage, even in the sandstorm.

Hmm..Naseriah again? I'm beginning to think we need a few more forces there for a little while to get this under control once and for all.

In light of such a serious situation, a little belly girl humor is a nice break for all of us
JMHO

"Do you think we could try and keep this a SITUATION ROOM LIVE THREAD..."

While a bit of good natured banter is "entertaining", I do think that goodnesswins has a point.

The idea of this thread is to keep up to date on the events occuring concerning the Operation Iraqi Freeedom. I know that there are lulls in "the action" and these are sometimes filled with idle chat, but let's try to keep it at a minimum!

There really are some people who are deprived of good news coverage and rely on these threads as a means of "balance" or just plain news! Reading through hundreds of "chat" posts just makes this even harder!

We now rejoin the thread, still in progress . . .

I am thinking we are not going to see the same kind of coverage like Umm Qasar. When they blew up that building the camera man didn't show it. Maybe they figured seeing bodies flying through the air would be too much. I am not sure we will see much in Baghdad

[Fledermaus]

Here we come

[paul544]

we need a few more forces there

This could very well be why we are now engaged in battle.
