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 and keep it running, 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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

The UN has warned both sides, according to CNN, about respecting the "neutrality of civilians" ... then is concerned about food aid getting to where it's needed.

Uh, stupid UN people- the only way it's going to get anywhere is if our side clears the way... so quit shaking your finger at us in an effort to appear "unbiased." There is a point where impartiality just looks stupid- and when the comparison is between the US and some evil and bloodthirsty socialist "progressive" regime like Hussein's- impartiality is not just stupid but despicable.

Also... While there is great merit in not targetting civilians, only an idiotic organization would consider civilians "neutral."

Upwards of 1,000 killed. A slaughter. Must be the "Wag the Dog" srategy though.

Thanks I just caught some of that close up camera work
from this location and I was wondering who else saw it.
The motorcycle and big gun was a real surprise.

Yep. A few days ago, they estimated 10,000 enemy KIA in a 24hr period, just from their brigade

CBS Bag-cam - another series of booms, closer than the last.

I can't wait for these brave kids to come home as we roate the personnel.

I hope none of these wonderful Americans ever have to pay for a meal or beer again. When I'm eating out and I see them, I'm buying.

Talk about the least I can do. I'm sooooo grateful they are willing to protect my lifestyle.
