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...

That's priceless. The braindead trying to think.

[LikeLight]

No, what do you need it for?

[Dolphy]

Kelly, on FNC, seems to see the opposition's hostilities waning, he attributed that to so many of them being killed. I thought he was going to reveal some other change in the tide.

I did manage to take a shower!

Proof you're not french...

I love the little RISK gamepeice graphics FNC uses...and when they wiggle them around it kills me.

Major Bob briefing on FNC

[Fledermaus]

Beret boy just popped up on FNC

Ugh! Can Combover be far behind.

[Consort]

He's dead, Jim.

[SoldiersGirl]

totally off topic...
my husband and I almost got divorced over RISK. I would have like one little continent thing left...and he would aim all the tanks and stuff right at me...so I knew what was coming...it used to make me SOOOO mad. We finally had to agree to never ever play again.

Sounds like the construction guys are back up on the roof this morning.

Construction guys? All they did all day long was walk around smoking cigarettes and making cell calls. I know, I sat here smoking cigarettes watching them.

[spectr17]

Major Bob (FNC) says we should wait (use stall tactics) for the 4rth Armor to get into the fight for Baghdad.

[LikeLight]

Three rumbles . . . or just the guys working on the roof?

[Fledermaus]

ha ha...must be the soldier in him! But not smart, eh? hehe

[null and void]

If our bunker busters penetrate 20 feet of concrete at a time, and Sadomy's bunker is 180 feet deep...doesn't that mean we'll NEVER be able to hit him?

Hmmmm. 180÷20=9. Never =9 bombs?

[Fledermaus]

it's gonna take you a while if you are only on 3074!

[BulletBobCo]

I bet the news media is wondering why we haven't sent in Arnold.
