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...

They are different.

I can't get the CBS cam very well. It is on Real Player and I don't know why but on my computer it is just jumpy and has to rebuff all the time, then quits and I have to reload.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

ABSOLUTELY NO resistance !!

Morning, Meekie! Please check out #2362 and #2394, the commander leading the "charge" into Baghdad disagrees about that "no resistance." (^;

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Mornin' Null...

Did you get a chance to do some surfing on our web site...?

[thedugal]

"The regime in Iraq is now learning that we keep our word." G W[Dubya] "Da Man" Bush

[rrrod]

what ever happened to the monica lewinsky commandos..gen. wesley clark and barry mcgaffrey?

[Carolina]

Ugh, RC. Sky Guy at Washington sneering at the Prez' radio address. He's shaking his head that this is all about September 11th.

[Timeout]

They just never get it. There's a guy on PMS (Craig something?) and, Taaaa Daaaaa!, he's set a new goal post:

"This seems to be turning into a 'police action'. Now comes the tough part. We've got a steep learning curve...got to figure out how to keep the peace with the Iraqi people".

Those goal posts have been moved so much, the end zone now looks like aa former-Iraqi attack formation.

Oh hell .. I screwed up .. I am really sorry

Yes Mo, you can I ask the media stupid questions...

;^)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Maybe "Hoof in Mouth Disease" ...?

[Peach]

CNN has a Red Cross reporter saying they are getting 100 injuries per hour.

[TigersEye]

Here's a bumper sticker idea for you:

"Democrats are soooo five minutes ago!"

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

U.S. is using fixed wing aircraft in close urban combat support.

Smart bombs, very precise. The 10,000 or so Spec. Ops + the troops on the ground in Baghdad are able to call for air support when they discover "targets of opportunity" and pockets of resistance. (I think...geeze, 17 days and I'm opining on military stuff, lol!)

[Timeout]

Or, alternatively,

"Democrats are sooooo 9/10"

[Petronski]

I imagine it must hurt to be abandoned so abruptly by history, to be exposed as so completely, woefully wrong.

I really feel sorry for them......NOT. I am LAUGHING at their 'superior intellect.'

[null and void]

I took two night time sinus meds earlier and they didn't work .. I'm too nervous tonight for some reason ..

Carley on a date with Scott Ritter???

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

"Democrats are sooooo 9/10"

I want one (to go next to my "Support OUR Troops" Bumper Sticker) ......

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

"The regime in Iraq is now learning that we keep our word." G W[Dubya] "Da Man" Bush

Oh, yeah. (^:

[Carolina]

Sky is showing a video of Iraqis with an American's uniform. Showed patches showing rank, unit and name. B***ards!

[Timeout]

Gasp!!!
(literally, when I read that)

We should make Sky one of our "targets of opportunity".

[TomGuy]

Alright! You guys are so insentitive......

To repeat from what I posted earlier this morning:


We need to be kindhearted and sympathetic this morning.

Just think, waking up to all this news.

It must really suck being a liberal leftist this morning.
