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 dont know but everyone was agreeing..then of course bringing in "palestine".

[Tree of Liberty]

Veeeery interesting

[retrokitten]

You know when you start seeing those statues being erected it is time to think about fleeing your country. When the murals start popping up all over, you just got to know, bad things are on the horizon....

I don't know who to ping (if someone could help out I would appreciate it), but this needs to be nominated for quote of the day!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

pretty, pretty, glock! (^:

Look what regular people were doing today:

FREEPER REPORT APRIL 5, 2003: Pro-America Rally with Glenn Beck in Clearwater, Florida

It was truly a wonderful rally - the surprise of the day I think was the appearance on the stage of Mrs. Tommy Franks.

The most heart-rending was the message read from William Buesing, father of Marine Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, who explained why he turned down the invitation to attend: that at the very time of the rally he would be present at the funeral services for his son. Nevertheless, his words concerning his son's committment and courage were both inspiring and touching. I wasn't the only one with tears in my eyes.

Estimated attendance: 15,000 | Protestors: 15, dwindling to 5. (^:

Man, I've got a dirty mind. I keep misreading your screen name.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

> somethings up and we cant see it!!!!......cbs doesn't even have the link to bag tv on their web site anymore

Ground version of "shock and awe" :-)

[ztiworoh]

All, what exactly is "ping" or a "ping list"?? Ive been here 2 weeks now and that questin has been nagging me

[Lauratealeaf]

Kirk: Bones, what about Ensign Ali? McCoy: He's dead again, Jim.

Kirk: Bones, Ensign Ali is dead?

McCoy: That's what I said, Jim.

Kirk: Are you sure, Bones?

McCoy: I'm a doctor, Jim. I know dead when I see it.

That was great TigersEye!

[golas1964]

Did anyone just see the FNC alert a moment ago: War Alert: 27 British Soldiers dead - any wire reports about this, or is this just a cumulative total?

[toddly]

Anyone notice that the reported bomb blast 150 meters from the hotel reporters are staying in happened shortly after a live interview with the info minister?

Seperatley, the Bag Cams being out is VERY interesting...

[nicmarlo]

You obviously haven't been pinged! : )

[Tree of Liberty]

"Pinging" is adding screen names in the "To:" field. When they go to their "new posts to you" link, the thread(s) they've been pinged to will show up.

[Inspectorette]

In the Sahara during the North Africa Campaign the Brits (me late neighbor being one of them) would have the bagpipers pipe during the dark of night. They usually could get the Italians to run, and even sometimes of the Germans. Imagine being holed up in the bleak desert and hearing the pipes wailing away.

Another thing he said they would do is to sleep buried in the sands during the day, breathing thru tubes. The sand kept them cool and hidden. So he said.

That is an absolutely awesome account! This would be wonderful!!! God bless the Brits!

[Tree of Liberty]

It sounds cumulative.

[retrokitten]

If I were on another thread and wanted to get your attention I would put your name in the "TO" box. That way when you log on you would see "new posts to you" highlighted alerting you to the thread.

A ping list is the same thing, but to a whole bunch of people.

[ztiworoh]

Thanks

[nicmarlo]

No, last I saw (maybe an hour ago) was 9 Brits killed....

[knak]

are they all still out?

[aloysius89]

... statues being erected it is time to think about fleeing your country...

You mean like the Robert Byrd Bridge... and museum.. and municipal building... and courthouse... ad nauseum.
