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...

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!

[SoldiersGirl]

Just got home from the Gym, any important updates?

[POGIFFMOO]

Hey, I know how they can pay for this war: Auction off the right to push the plungers to detonate all those Saddam statues.

[Poser]

Congratulations. You have been studying.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Heh. You're too kind. I'm a brat. Really...but life is good. (^;

[CasearianDaoist]

I would not bet on it. What FOX really needs to do is make daily news and journalistic programming for the broadcast market and then agressively sell it nationwide to the local markets. When they can dominate that market then we will see real political shakeup in this country.

[TomGuy]

shhheeeezzzzz......padding the posts.......lol

[Dolphy]

LOL, well, I need FNC, heat (it's cold as heck here) and coffee. I am a baby I guess, I am waiting for check in time at the most expensive hotel in town where I will have FNC, a hot shower and room service:)

[ztiworoh]

I too was at the gym and I too request updates

[BreitbartSentMe]

You're my hero, I can only dream of reaching your incredible level of posting achievements.

(sorry for the hiccup in the last grouping, rookie mistake)

[Dolphy]

I lost power last night (ice storm) and it's not expected back until Tuesday. I am looking for an update from my office as I wait for my hotel check in time:)

[commish]

Third the update request .. Just got back from the American heart Walk ..

[aloysius89]

Well, I hate to say it but I must take a timeout. Church History Midterm for which I must study. Back in 3. Hold down the fort y'all.

[Poser]

Here's the guy who was fired from NPR for advocating listening to Fox and not playing NPR news.

Do you suppose that there might be a job for him at Fox News?

[glock rocks]

cbs bagcam... presser was to have been in hangar, but light not good enough so it's being held on the tarmac.

the seal on the podium is that of the governor of West Virginia.

the journalists are now being given background of the family members, names, spelling, etc. excellent pic.

apparently this is a send-off party for the family on their way to germany. journalists told the plane will be landing soon.

[Green]

OK...how long has it been since you were updated so that we know where to start?

[GreyWolf]

Hey, I know how they can pay for this war: Auction off the right to push the plungers to detonate all those Saddam statues.

I know. The Capt. on the Brigade commander's tank .50 caliber wanted to shoot that big picture of Sadam sooooo bad. I'll bet he would have been willing to loose a bar. BTW, isn't it sorta unusual to have an officer on the .50?

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Important update :)

US FORCES TO SADDAM & COMPANY

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
to keep us from getting to you

[commish]

Last update for me 7 AM CT

[SoldiersGirl]

I left at 10 am central time. I didn't do the treadmill so no tv
