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...

Kirk: Bones, what about Ensign Flour?
McCoy: He's Bread, Jim.

[Catspaw]

Naw, he couldn't fake being in Iraq (unless he was in Kurdish-controlled Iraq). They publicized Nic being embraced by colleagues as he and his crew made it over the border into Jordan.

[ztiworoh]

Kirk: What about Ensign Skull?
Bones: He's head, Jim

1) Those bunkers under the Baghdad airport will be good places to take refuge from the hot sun of the summer.

2) We are probably now exploring and mapping the tunnel system under Baghdad. They would represent an excellent way to get around unseen, and probably open up into important facilities of the regime.

MSNBC - A laser-guided bomb strike on Chemical Ali's home last night is belived to have killed him

[Kadric]

I do not hold out hope that they have completely changed. On the other hand I do believe that the coverage they give the military will at least be more balanced.

[dfwgator]

This is about the third-time that they've announced that they've killed Chemical Ali. I'll believe it when I see the body.

[ztiworoh]

Kirk: What's Rick Leventhal?
Bones:Embed, Jim

[null and void]

Kirk: What about Ensign Stud?
Bones: He's bred, Jim

[muslims=borg]

Don't know, I think they said Josh Mitchell? What a jerk. The left will not acknowledge that we kicked ass over there. Its like winning a baseball game 30-2 and you get critized because the other team scored 2 runs.

[mitchbert]

LOL, eh!

no kidding

[Dawgmeister]

Kirk: What about Ensign Nap?
Bones: He's bed, Jim

[Consort]

Kirk: Bones, what about Ensign Otherwise?
McCoy: He's instead, Jim.

[Catspaw]

YES!!! They don't have absolute confirmation about Chemical Ali's death until they can confirm it on the ground, but CHEMICAL ALI dead!! Good going, guys!

[null and void]

Kirk: What about Ensign Hemorage?
Bones: He's bled, Jim

[golas1964]

Kirk: What about Ensign Meal?
McCoy: He's fed, Jim!

[Consort]

He's not dead until we see the living proof.

[Tree of Liberty]

If it was laser guided, that means there was probably SpecOps on the ground targeting the laser. They'd have called in the strike when they knew he was home. There are reports of bodies strewn around the impact site, one of which is reported to be Ali.
