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

No, it was from an officer (a Captain, I believe) who is in charge of the brigade of the 3rd ID who was charged with taking the airport.

Hmmm... "urban close air support"...

Wow --- does this ever give me fantasies... Bringing my F16 right down main street between the buildings of Baghdad... FIRE away ... ducking under the bridge then cutting in the A/B and zooming up vertically to the clouds... Barrel roll on the way out ... What a trip...

I wonder what the heck the AF means by that term, though...

Fox could really make this entertaining if they hired a Soupy Sales double who told all the kiddies out there to "find your Daddy's wallet, remove all the pictures of dead presidents, and send them to me."

We gotta have some fun with this stuff ...

LOL!!!
