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...

They all received small pox shots prior to leaving, they also all had their anthrax booster shots.

Nope. I had it off earlier because of the wind. Now it is just dirty, blurry.

Saddam always kills retreating soldiers. It should be no surprise he is using U.S. uniforms to lure them in. I think it's more for his own purposes than to spread propaganda. He is using the uniforms to execute the 'traitors' in his army.

Shep just reported that the sandstorm actually helped out our troops. It kept them hidden from the Iraqi soldiers.
