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...

LOL, gimme 2 HE , 3 AP and a Willy Pete, I don;t have time to F**K around with the Rifraff!

[RightWingMama]

Rick and Shep seem to be good friends.

[Aaron0617]

The 8 bodies found with Jessica Lynch have been identified. They're from the convoy. All dead. MSNBC just reported (sorry if I'm repeating this)

This means Lori Ann Piestewa, 23, of Tuba City, Ariz is gone. And possibly the 5 POWs are still alive.

[Clean_Sweep]

Booms on the way, Hear the jets above. All they need is targets.

[SoldiersGirl]

when cars come to surrender, why do the soldiers walk to the car? Why don't they make the guy walk to them?
if it's a suicide car or something.....

[Abigail Adams]

You gotta wonder what it's like to be there driving around Baghdad today...Maybe they don't know how close we are? Or maybe it's kind of a denial thing. Can you imagine another country's military coming into your home town?

[Tree of Liberty]

He had a pass, signed by a Marine.

[Timeout]

Rick just said it's Ahmed!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I keep asking, are they depleted and irrelevant enough now to call them the Democrat Guard?

[Tree of Liberty]

I think they are, too.

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL, he finally got out of Dodge, hunh?

[DollyCali]

i THINK Lori Annis the Native American I have mentioned a few times. Her tribe has been shown on TV manytimes praying for her. Family has a long history of military participation.

May she rest & peace and may her family feel God's comfort

[dfwgator]

Actually they are so irrelevant they should be the "libertarian guard."

[SoldiersGirl]

Can we e-mail shep and ask if he knows about our ahmed?

[section9]

That's like going from Cub Scout to Webelos.

Funniest thing I've read all damn day.

I sure as hell hope we can get Greg Kelly back from 2nd Brigade. They look like they are making a boss run into Baghdad Central to show the locals that the Big Dog has arrived.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[honeygrl]

Rick is very obviously depressed (and maybe a little POed) that he's not the one getting to go into baghdad. he and shep are having a very entertaining conversation.

[STARWISE]

Glorious sound of jets on CBS cam ... honing in.

[Consort]

The Iraqi Military web site shows that Helen Thomas is embedded in the Republican Guard Southern Corps 6th Nebuchadnezzar and Susan Estrich is with the Northern Corps 2nd Al-Medina.

[Tree of Liberty]

Yeah. He said straight out that he was a little jealous of Greg and Ollie.

[nicmarlo]

News to me.....this is sickening.....God bless their families....tragic and awful deaths.
