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...

Cavuto just said that our troops have not met much resistance in Baghdad, except for an errant kook who drives a Plymouth Duster into you.

Simon Marks also commented that Baghdad would not be what mr. o'reilly would call a no spin zone yet.

It occurs to me that our webcam is usually a lot darker than the direct feed on TV.

That prolly splains it.

I agree. I hope that once PFC Lynch is on the mend, she will direct the attention of the press to those fine soldiers.

I just hope PFC Lynch recovers with minimal scarring,,I fear for her what with the press who will swarm like vultures. Surely she will feel the love from everyone in this country and that will help. But my guess is she has been thru a hell that only a POW can understand. She has a good family and alot of people rooting for her.

I've been a Cavuto fan since the mid-eighties, when he was on PBS's 'Nightly Business Report.'

Were you the one who suggested an official list of who's who? Did anyone volunteer?

Uniforms were probably pilfered from laundry by the hundreds in Kuwait. American and British.
