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 Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

[steveegg]

Outstanding.

[Yankee]

Jennifer Eccleston

She's pretty, but what's up with the way she talks?

She has this pained expression, like she's squeezing out a hard turd.

[Air Force Born]

That probably happened the day he came back from the implant surgery.

[InShanghai]

OK, I'll back-pedal. This sold me: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."--Vito Corleone

[steveegg]

Male viewership goes way up when Jane Skinner is on.

[Cordova Belle]

LOL!

And relief to know I won't have to read DU comments---I didn't bring my blood pressure meds to work today!

[AppyPappy]

Farik has finally worked through his medley. Allah be praised.

[angelwings49]

Chief -- I believe that was Bobbie Battista?

[bigjoesaddle]

How about Lauren Greene?

[Yankee]

Dang. Farik is singing the whole White Album.

He can quit once he gets to "Revolution".

[Not A Snowbird]

Hello, everyone, back from a four day trip to the east coast! I had Fox News in my hotel room, but I got downright twitchy without FR to find out what was realy happening in the world. I missed Achmed and the Bag Cam, but unfortunately I couldn't duck Beret Boy. He needs his meds adjusted!

[Jackie-O]

this may set the organized commie activist recruiters back decades

We can only dream!

[hispanarepublicana]

OK, I'll back-pedal. This sold me: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."--Vito Corleone

I guess I "made you an offer you couldn't refuse"?

[ChiefKujo]

Thats right, thanks.

[AppyPappy]

There are a lot more cars driving around than last night at this time.

[epluribus_2]

the botox has not completely hardened yet.

[Air Force Born]

Kin to Loren Greene?



Oh Paw!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Did you see E.Rocc's #3035? There's now a link to a DU comment thread on the war thread.

Almost catching up...again...

[Quilla]

Looks like another smoking gun's been found:

US Marines Infantry control nuclear power installations north of Baghdad

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/887159/posts

Snip:

"A force of US Marines Monday took over the Head Quarters of the Iraqi Nuclear Power Commission north of the capital Baghdad and found what seems to be substances used in Weapons of Mass Destruction in addition to protective clothing and gas masks.

CNN News Network reported that the US Seventh Marine Corp broke into the industrial compound that housed the Iraqi Nuclear Power Commission HQ and conducted thorough search operations that uncovered quantities of still unidentified liquid and powder substances. "

You all have to see this! FoxNews.com had "Ask Major Bob" last week and now they have the questions and answers posted on Fox Fan Central. This one cracked me up!!

Major Bob,
As a former psychological operations specialist in the first Gulf War and Somalia, it seems that PSYOP is taking a predominate role in this new conflict. However, the effectiveness of the PSYOP campaign doesn't seem to be as effective as in 1991. I'd like to know your analysis of current psychological operations in the region and if they're working. — Dave, Atlanta, GA

You hit the nail right on the head, Dave. PSYOP operations are taking a predominate role in this conflict, but comparing this conflict to Desert Storm is like comparing The Dixie Chicks to the Boston Symphony — they both make music but one of them has no class. PSYOP operations have been waged against both soft and hard targets, civilian and military. We must keep in mind that the civilian population lives in constant fear of their military and cannot voice their opinion in deed or word. Having said that, the real success of the PSYOP campaign will be felt once we have taken Baghdad and crushed the regime. I am very confident that people will come out of the woodwork and provide coalition forces with more intelligence than they can handle. I personally believe this will result in documentation of human atrocities and, much to Scott Rider’s chagrin, proof of weapons of mass destruction.- Major Bob
