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...

The sandstorms will die down at night when the wind dies off..

[Howlin]

Has anybody seen that guy that was on Fox all the time, Monsour something?

[ztiworoh]

Does anyine find it ironic that on the FNC roundtable, the person most against America's winnign of this war gets her paychech from and has a job because of US taxpayers (the NPR lady)

[Peach]

No, where is Monsour? He's an excellent analyst.

[Mo1]

Just a quick comment about Mort & Mara's comments tonight on Special Report

YOU HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

General Custers unit....

[Carolina]

KARBALA BATTLE LARGEST YET

Sky also reported that the Iraqis attacked on foot.

[Howlin]

We need a network.

[scubadan]

Two different battles, I think. 7th Cav at Naja killed 300 Iraqis with no losses. 3rd ID fighting at Karbala have lost some vehicles.

This might make some sense. There have been what we thought were contradictory reports of where the 3/7 have been. Some reports placed them near Karbala and later it was mentioned they had crossed the Euphrates near As Samawah. Perhaps both are true and they've divided as you suggest. That could make sense of these "contradicting" reports.

[Dog]

Human wave attacks....sounds like fedyeen..

[Sir_Ed]

"Doesn't say, Dog."

Why do people call each other Dog? As opposed to, say...Horse, Fish, Cow or Turtle?

7th Cavalry - isn't that the oldest cavalry in the nation?

I don't think oldest but it is famous for being Custer's old outfit.

[cactusSharp]

jawbone of an ass ??

[Grenada]

Thank you kindly ;')

[Peach]

That's it - Custer's unit. mind is now officially mush

[steveegg]

So what did I miss the last few hours? Looks like more Iraqi atrocities, some Iraqi atropine and a new FReeperism (Dound). Anything else?

[RummyChick]

Monsor was on quite frequently until we started the iraq war. I have seen him once or twice since then. I find it odd that he is not on like he was before .
