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...

There were reports last week that they flew into the Kurdish area an armored brigade from the 1st DIV based in Germany. We have not heard anything about them for about a week. It might well be them.

Do you have perfect pitch?

Alas, no (faulty genetics). However, I've "memorized pitches", so I can pick them out. Not quite the same thing.

I'm waiting for Baghdad Bob to ask Ollie and Greg for their press credentials since they are now reporting from Baghdad.

Ole Baghdad Bob needn't offer a minder, though, they brought their own with them. ha!

I'm saddened. Deeply saddened.

I would hope for "steeled" or "rededicated."
To take this country back, we have a long fight ahead.

Green: I thought about that before posting it, but decided this was worthy of an exception.

See post #2621....you may need to delete it under agreement with the WashPost.

Just remember that the reason many PRIME contracts will go to American companies is because TOP SECURITY CLEARANCES must be held close. It's no 'payoff'. The 'primes' can subcontract to whoever they need for specialized tasks.

My question is why store the bodies??? Why not cremate them or something, seems like a strange thing to do to just put them in a warehouse
