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...

"Maybe the military should just put the special ignition switch in like James Bond had in one of his cars. When someone else tried to start it up, KABOOM"

Reminds me of the video on the net of the guy who bought the helicopter and "thought" he knew how to fly it..hilarious video.

Zactly, that's a Mad Maxx switch. You scatter cherry pie all over if you're not hip to which position the switch goes in.

I think it is definately frightening. I think there is far more going on here than a religious war, but that part of it cannot be discounted. It can be very dangerous. Look at that US soldier that fragged our own men.

[lorrainer]

Interesting. Never saw that before.

Yeah, see #429 also. I had to research this when I heard about it earlier this month. I would add X42 and the Mrs. to that list, but then I'd have to throw away my monitor. Yuck.

I agree with Jefferson, too. Just keep in mind that we'd be talking about a billion man war. Better they fight and kill each other than us, though.

What Bush has to tell him? .. what does that mean?
