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...

Actually the traffic jams work for us. They dont have a clear line of sight to fire on us while we can call in A-10 Warthogs and just blast em off the road.

Let them get the wrong message from Black Hawk Down...we eventually killed 1,800 of them for our 18...I love that trade off.

That cartoon is BS. The only people with a short attention span are the media. The American people have shown no signs of getting fidgety.

Maybe the A-10's shot up the siren posse. At least we can all hope.

Those soldiers have pink headbands, scarfs, etc.

Reminds me of "Tombstone" with Kirk Russel..."if I see a red sash, I kill it".

And the best part, when he cuts the guy (Clanton) with his spur..."you tell them the law is coming, you tell them I'm coming...and I'm bringing Hell with me"!
