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...

Live threads are great....:-)

5,000 lb.? Wow!

I've been in & out today and hadn't seen that? Is it a bunker buster? Someone said, if a bunker buster doesn't get deep enough on the first hit, we can go back and put another one in the hole created by the first one. Is that true?

[GOPyouth]

It's Butthead. lol

[Miss Marple]

BBC guy on now.

[strela]

Nah, I missed it. Had to go chase my trash cans down the street (wind is doing about 40 MPH out there).

[Miss Marple]

This is important. He is discussing BBC's bias.

[Jackie-O]

Confirmed on CNN also.

[GOPyouth]

I don't doubt that. But he's quite goofy looking.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Listening to this twerp, it's hard to believe the Brits fighting in Iraq are from the same Isle.

[Otta B Sleepin]

How about "feisty" Col. Hunt? (O'Reilly's word - I say it takes one to know one!)

[Dog]

Yep.

Watch for the replay of the bomb going off......HUGE cloud..

[strela]

Surely somewhere, some time, I beat him up and took his lunch money in school.

I think this thread is the "all inclusive" war thread. I watch FNC, but I enjoy reading the comments by the people who watch MSNBC and CNN (& others). I feel like I won't ever miss one of my favorite politicians, or analysts if I stay close to FR. I'll get the "so and so on MSNBC" alert.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Bill O'Reilly's shocked at the leftist slant of the BBC? I'm shocked.

[Spunky]

"Are you kidding?",

No, I am not kidding. I saw it reported on our local news. (Pasco, Wa) So far I haven't heard anything on national news.

I am pretty sure they said Illinois.

They showed a picture of it on the bed and it looked to be about 24 inches in diameter. They also showed some cars with damage.

I missed Brit and I missed the first 6 million posts on this thread.

Would someone take pity and tell me what story you guys are talking about that Mara knows the origin of but is apparently trying to imply that it was the administration when it wasn't.

Thanx a bunch!

[MEG33]

Warm soup of NPR liberalism Sneering BBC... ITES

[DaughterofEve]

Traitors! Self-serving agendas, no real regard for humanity.

[zook]

No TV here. ABC radio talking about Iraqi force coming down Euphrates in boats to attack Allies. Anyone know what this is about?

[gop212]

Col. Hunt feisty.........yeah, that was funny. O'Reilly is one to talk, you're right.
