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...

Actually, that quote came from an American Marine. He was talking about how the Iraqi people had been led to believe that the Americans were nowhere near Baghdad, and that we had come up to and INto Baghdad so quickly, that "it was as if they all went to bed normally, and in the morning woke up and said 'Hey, where did all these Americans come from?' "
Naw, that's the sewage treatment plant but it's still appropriate.
Wonder what will be on his headstone. pigeon poop?ROFLOL!!!
LOL!
But from a purely Damsel-in-Distress perspective, can you imagine how great those SEALs must have felt to be rescuing not only an American POW, but a cute blonde female? Or am I wrong about that? For the Vets on here, would it jar the Knight-in-Shining-Armor part of you to be rescuing a female, or would it really and truely be the same as rescuing a male?
Those guys are so professional that I don't think they would initially feel anything other than that they were rescuing a U.S.Army soldier. Maybe later, after they had her safely on the helicopter the chivalrous feelings may have set in.
I do know that when my son was at West Point, he always helped his fellow cadets whether they were female or male. But, usually if he was helping a female he would always let her take the credit for something and wouldn't always do that with a fellow male cadet.
