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...

I once heard a guy call into the local classic rock station and request Steve Miller's "Big Old Jed and Lionel".

The dj was shocked into silence. Then she asked who the artist was. The guy replied "Steve Miller Band". The dj burst out laughing and asked...."Oh..you mean "Big Old Jet Airliner", don't you?"

"Thirty thieves and the thunder chief!" AC/DC (Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap)

[Anomaly in Illinois]

CIVILIANS have fought with axes and knives against Saddam Hussein's heavily-armed militiamen during an uprising in Basra

The anti-war crowd makes me sick. They are spoiled brats who are undeserving of the freedom they have. /rant off

May victory come to us quickly, so as to spare innocents further grief.

you are correct. that is going to be the tipping point in this, will we fight all the way to baghdad and then accept some 11th hour diplomatic deal to end it, avoiding what will be required to take baghdad. i'm not advocating that, but it will surely happen. this whole "saddam, is he dead or alive" thing, i wonder if indeed he is alive, he is just sitting in the bunker, and will emerge only after the 11th hour diplomatic deal is secure, back in power (at least in the baghdad metro area).
