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...

I was thinking the same thing.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Gunny in the studio telling Rick to get a flack jacket and helmet on, because if they're registering targets, they might be expecting fire to be returned. The marine with Rick says there's no threat at the moment, they're just targeting the mortars at an intersection since that's a choke point.

[Timeout]

these people with emails need to use their imagination

Yeah, but then we wouldn't have gotten Shep's great reply:

"Do you see what he's standing on???? DO YOU HAVE A CAT?!">

LOLLOLOLOLOL!

[Tree of Liberty]

I think I got the gist in #282

[commish]

They got the word through our leaflets etc.. They feel they are safe as long as they are not around "targets"

[nicmarlo]

why in God's name are people driving around?? You'd think they'd be hiding and protecting themselves .. any clues?

Those are my exact thoughts.....seems crazy to me.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Rick's vest weighs 50lbs. Has a trauma plate in it.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Arabs love to drive. It's one of their favorite things. It could be groups of Saddam's cockroaches "keeeping order" in town.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - If Rick doesn't wear protective gear, he won't get insurance if he's injured/killed. This from the 2nd Floor (management) at FNC.

[GOPyouth]

that was too funny

[commish]

No booms for a while, must be that quagmire thingie we've been hearing about.

[SoldiersGirl]

To Rick: If you don't wear your protective gear, you won't get your insurance money if you die


Shep is so tactful. lol


oh man, don't be a suicide bomber car guy

[Robert A Cook PE]

Waitin' for that gunny in the studio to start sayin' "

"Left 20, down 30.... Six rounds, HE, fire for effect."

[Mo1]

The Lawyers from FNC just sent and email to Shep

Tell Rick to put on his vest or he will not get the insurance money if he gets shot ..

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Jet noises on Baghdad cam.

[nicmarlo]

LOL, I was just going to post that...too funny: "This just in, if you don't wear your protective gear, no insurance money for your family....how are those girls by the way?" Too funny, Shep is.

[Mitchell]

it is the Elite Republican Guard

They're not so elite. I wonder who picked that adjective to describe the Republican Guard? Calling them "elite" certainly resonates with the media, in spite of the lack of evidence of military prowess.

[Timeout]

Look at that "Technical" on FOX! HA!

Looks like those Indian ladies who carry all those baskets on their heads!

Somebody capture this FOX pic!

[Tree of Liberty]

Bathrooms involve digging a hole with an entrenching tool, then bending and sitting on it, or using a box with the top and bottom missing.

Showers are nearly non-existent. They get to shampoo their hair every week and a half, or so.

[Drumbo]

OMG look at the Bozo in the car - how'd he get there?
