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...

This is a quote from Karl Zinsmeister (AEI):
"Most of the media embeds, however, are typical reporters--that is, left-wing, cynical, wise-guy, Ivy League types, many with a high prima donna quotient. There are numerous studies showing that the major media are now nearly as liberal, politically and culturally, as university professors. And those are the journalists I've been seeing in a month spent in Iraq and Kuwait with the 82nd Airborne.
...Unfortunately, I have not seen the reporters here make much effort to earn greater trust with the people doing the dirty work of fighting. Many of the journalists in this war theater are bursting with knee-jerk suspicions and antagonisms for the warriors all around them. This is aggravated by their tendency to club together, passing far too much of their desert sojourn gossiping with fellow reporters, snidely mocking military mores, chafing at the little disciplines necessary in the military's life-and-death work, banding off as a clique to watch DVDs on their computers in the evening, rolling their eyes at each other when ideas like honor, sacrifice, or duty enter the conversation."
I know many think the embedded reporters have had a universal change of heart, but I'm more cynical. I think they're after a story, and when they return, the experience will fade into a rather long, bad vacation. One or two exceptions, perhaps, but they've had a lifetime to build disdain for the military, and many old habits are hard to break.
All the pride in the world won't fill those holes....I hate war, I wish this war wasn't necessary.....but I love more that we have brave and willing men and women to protect us all from danger.....may we NEVER FORGET.
That is a big deal.
I have no more patience with people like this.
I heard that, perhaps by Arnott the other day.....desparate people with hatred in their hearts are capable of doing the most evil and wicked things.
Florida Indians aren't PC. (^:
No need to be. The Seminoles never signed a treaty with the US gov't. We're still technically at war...
SOB! The Taliban want "their" country back. We are going to make sure they don't get it and terrorize those people again.
Somewhere on FR is a report a close friend of Hamid Karzi was killed yesterday as well.
Is this guy pretending to be in Iraq sometimes?
This may be a good thing; let all the Bad Guys get together in one place; it'll make our targeting easier...
