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...

He's supposed to be in civvies driving around in a 1975 Toyota (I think it was Toyota).

Canadian doofus: What was the purpose of the raid today.

Answer: To kill Iraqis and secure the city (I made that up)

[Tree of Liberty]

I've been in and out of my room, so didn't hear that bit of the conference, but I believe I heard last night that she was shot, but her body armor stopped the round, but that the impact was the likely cause of her back injury.

[Timeout]

Best question answer so far:

AP TV News: Can you tell us what "favorable" means with regard to the first strike on the leadership on the 21st of March".

Col. Renuart: "Favorable" means really good! (laughs all around). We hit exactly where we wanted to go and (smiling broadly) we're pretty sure that one of the targets we were aiming at, we got. I'm gonna leave it there".

That's an exact quote...I was taping it.

Hmmmmmmm.

[Unknown Freeper]

It's 8:00 est and we already have over 2000 posts here. Everyone keep giving those updates (and the links to the video showing the pressitutes still lie even as we roll into downtown.)

[Air Force Born]

All train wrecks should look so good. She is going to be very busy though, just trying to decide which place hurts worse at any given time. Morphine will be her best friend for a couple of weeks.

[johniegrad]

OK, everyone sing along now.........

[Tree of Liberty]

Frying pan into the fire

[Catspaw]

He's supposed to be in civvies driving around in a 1975 Toyota (I think it was Toyota).

Oh, well that'll narrow it down. < /sarcasm>

[wolficatZ]

I hope those clowns in the cars with the sirens and flag shooting off AK's and waving billyclubs earlier are WORMFOOD by now. They sure as hell haven't been back.

[Carolina]

My cousin is on the USS Constellation. I emailed him and asked him on his next flyover to please take out that statue.

Tell him that our thoughts and prayers are with him.

[debg]

it's the white one :)

[najida]

Yep, getting to pick between Oxycontin, Roxanol or Demerol.

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL

[umbagi]

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

I suspect he'd have gotten the day off sooner, and we might even have seen Gen. Franks once or twice, but for the jerk's insult about him early on. They've made their point now, and are returning to the normal rotation.

Gen. Brooks handled the first attack really well, and has been doing a good job, IMHO... What a bunch of losers!

[johnb838]

General Vic said (in effect) that if you want to see what the 3rd ID did, watch Fox. We (FOX) are definitely the unofficial network of the United States Military. Some people would say this is bad. I say it's better than bad, it's good!

[Timeout]

And tell him to please give us advance notice?

[Tree of Liberty]

Brian Wilson said the other night that he'd gotten hundreds and hundreds of emails from servicemen saying that they only watch FNC, and leave it on in the common areas 24/7.
