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...

Very nice! Can I get this for a screen saver? Sure beats Dan Rather's face. (And maybe that would do him some good.... --rim-shot.)

Some have...25-30 percent have.

The point of the cartoon was also humor.

Somewhat like the smaller mass grave in Afghanistan that was found AFTER we invaded... up until then, the whole world denied the rumors of people murdered up around those Buddha statues.

The Axis of Weasels-type Eurosnots were more concerned about the statues than the human beings, of course. "Dissidents lie," they said endlessly; "but busted statues make us cry."

In this case it isn't clear if the bodies in Basra were in a mass grave or some sort of morgue-like facility. If it is a morgue-like facility I shudder to think of the purpose as it sounds mor elike an "ongoing project" against prisoners than a one-time massacre.

ugh.

We're also going to have to deal with finding and opening up all of the prisons in the country... since Iraq's regime has a habit of putting prisons under important facilities, our careful bombing may have been done with that in mind. There are so many missing people in this country there is no way of telling what is going to be found.

He claimed they OWN the airport and as soon as they get it all cleaned up, he'll be taking all those reporters out there!

He needs a few of these:
