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...

SF...beautiful city, but the politics stinks.

I lived in Santa Cruz & Los Gatos a few years back. Santa Cruz politics were even worse.

The fortunate thing is that there's a charcoal liner in between the layers of the chem suit, so it helps kill the BO. Small comfort, but at least the APC's don't stink so bad.

Pfc. Lynch has had back surgery, and they've operated on her legs, setting them with rods & pins. And she WAS shot.

She is having back surgery again? She just had back surgery 2 days ago and they said it was very successful.

She will look like a train wreck for a while.

Vic says we're broadcasting on Iraqi channel 3. Wonder why we never see any of that?

Good morning, Situation Room!

The morning I oversleep is the morning we get to the heart of the regime!

Did our guys roll past BagCam?

Today we don't have Chemical Ali.

And our POW's. I have a feeling whereever Chemical Ali is, that's where the POW's are. He may use them as a bargaining chip.

LOL, yep. He bats stale marshmallows around on hard wood floors like a soccer ball, and eats 'em when he gets really excited. I found out about Cheeto's the other day. I dropped one, and the next thing I know I hear crunching from by my legs.

I lived in Santa Cruz & Los Gatos a few years back. Santa Cruz politics were even worse.

But you can get really good food and great locally brewed beer in the same place! I still have a serviceable Los Gatos Brewing Co. T-Shirt :-). Place around the corner makes killer Kamakazis, too...

I'm guessing it's a local broadcast and not over satellite, like Iraqi TV. I'm sure Fox would broadcast it if it were technically available to them.

They dug up the remains of dead U.S. soldiers with their hands!

"Leave no one behind."

This must have been the delay at Centcom in reporting the rescue. Foxnews can give themselves a big pat on the pack . AP, etc, really did endanger the lives of this entire rescue team. I hope their selfishness (Does perfidy apply here?) will be duly noted!

That she will, but she's alive. Sadly, the parents of others--MIA's and KIA's--in her unit have been notified that their loved ones are deceased.

I see it's Gen. Renuart this morning. So, Gen. Brooks gets to have a day off from these jackals.

Hardly any sound on MSNBC cam, yeah Jessica is one fine spunky gal, those Iraqis couldn't kill her, and they must have really tried, I hope she took out a whole lot of them. Sorry but some things in life require "extreme prejudice".
