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...

My bad - a puff piece leading into an anti-war spot. Argh.

Diane Sawyer interviewed her in January or February for 20/20, I believe. She was proud of the fact that she developed weapons that could kill people either quickly or slowly depending on the whim. So humane.

Way to go, Cavuto! Glad I didn't throw something at the TV earlier today and was able to hear Neil.

Please tell me the French word for chutzpa! Sadly, there isn't one. The French were too damn efficient at cooperating with the Nazis in getting rid of all their jews.

I think he's just practising. Limbering up the lil pinkies.

Didn't she have a child who mysteriously disappeared? One day she had a healthy toddler and the next day she didn't. No one asked her about it or talked about it, but the inference is that she killed her own child. Is the urban legend?
To: Ophiucus
When President Bush said "You're either with us, or against us" I didn't really take it to heart, I thought it was a little too black and white. Awhile later....France, Germany, Russia, China....have opened my eyes to the fact that it really is black or white. Yes or No..with is or not?
Where do we draw the line at who we call our allies?
Remember, I'm a bit new to the political arena, so bear with me..but I'm reminded of the old Hen story...the Hen does all the work baking the bread, without any help...then the rest of the farm wants to eat it. That seems to be what's going on when it comes to rebuilding Iraq.

Kudos to Cavuto -- I just copied his work to here.

Satirical Saddam Documentary Gets U.S. DVD Release
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A satirical documentary that portrays Iraqi President Saddam Hussein as a personal hygiene fanatic who likes to fish with grenades is getting a timely first time DVD release in the United States next week.
"Uncle Saddam," made by French freelance journalist Joel Soler in 2000, received critical acclaim at international film festivals two years ago and resulted in death threats against Soler at his Los Angeles area home.
