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:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

I so much enjoy the reaction to the supposed 4 to 6 day rest. You can bet somebody is resting, who the devil would be so foolish as to paint a picture that the effort would rest, while logistics catch up? Oh yeah, Reuters.

Great quote......

"It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's."

I hope the Iragis eventually realize that our intentions are honorable. And based on the strategic neccesity of homeland defense based on preemption.

First U.S. combat missions launched from a captured Iraqi airbase..

Aye -- and hat's off to you for pointing out that map. Where do I send the commission? (g)

Have you seen the maps with military unit symbols? Click--HERE

Have they targeted this infamous bunker that the Germans built yet ? Supposedly has an escape tunnel under the Tigris.

[Peach]

I'm not giving anything away because some of it's been on television, but my step-son's unit has been moved to one of those captured airbases.

[gop212]

that was the best one word answer I could have hoped for. Its a bunch of BS (IMO).

As Jay Nordingler said in his friday Impromptus.....

"Many of our pundits and others are perpetually embarrassed by what Rumsfeld says. I think he's a paragon of honesty and clearsightedness. It doesn't get better in government than this, folks. It just doesn't."

Quagmire! Viet Nam! Hungry Troops! Too Fast! Too Slow! Inhumane! Civilian Casualties! Blood for Oil! 4-6 Day Rest! (what am I leaving out?)

Terrorist Attacks.

[Peach]

I'm laughing (a little bit)!

[muslims=borg]

Man this Rebecca Gomez on Fox...holy toledo !!!!

[Cboldt]

What am I leaving out? Terrorist Attacks.

It's a normal day when one can't remember all the media hand-wringing and whining. It takes all of FR to keep up with the liberal duplicity.

[rumrunner]

How rich. The Beeb is now showing how objective ABC is and how biased Fox is regarding their coverage of the war. Also, showed some chinese commentator saying how our strategy is not successful.

[Dog]

You will love this one ..

British and Aussie SAS take Iraqi missile base....in hand to hand fighting!

[RightWhale]

Thanks

[muslims=borg]

They're reaching the bottom of the barrel now. The liberal press wants another Viet Nam, would be a dream come true for them.

[Green]

I guess that means we can all look forward to another press briefing from beret man tomorrow morning with him all bent out of shape over us hitting the information ministry again. Darn it all.
