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...

Don't imagine you can change a man-unless he's in diapers.

You know I do hospital corners on my beds to the amusement of my children who think it is a sign that I have obsessive compulsive disorder!

They're prolly right.

You have mail BTW...

Baghdad Bob now live on NTV with a big smile on his face.

My HS German is a little rusty, but I think he's saying that the US is staging this whole war in the Coachella Valley, just south of Indio, CA. A la Wag the Dog. ;)

Good job. We're keeping 'em honest. (^:

Major Bob just said he had been wrong a lot about this campaign (his early criticisms) and that he was very impressed. Major Bob's a good man who can admit he made a mistake. Eleanor, we're waiting for an apology.

Major Bob also said his mom was watching, lol!

Any word or stories on the other POWs? Last word I've seen is this comment from this morning:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/885744/posts?page=16#16
They're still holding five more POW's from her unit, including Shoshana Johnson. They were not found with Pfc. Lynch and they were not found among the bodies buried in the shallow grave near the hospital.

Thanks for the info, Jackie. Perhaps the new water pipelines we're building have something to do with France, too. Convenient. (^:

I just flipped on MSNBC and they are saying we took something north of Baghdad......with a unknown mech unit.

Could it be the II MEU?
