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...

The Lord cares not how religious you are, prayers have been given to him in your sons name by those of us who are in his light. I pray that you will one day come to him as well, but until then I will pray for you, your family and the all of our soldiers and families.

Articles - Good Reads

Mark Steyn : The butcher of Baghdad is out of tricks (Quagmire follow-up)

Shock and Awe: The phrase first appeared publicly in the book of the same title by Harlan Ullman and James Wade in 1996, which came out of a report by the Rapid Dominance Study Group, an informal association of mainly ex-military men. The concept they put forward was, as Harlan Ullman explains it, one that involved "inflicting minimum casualties and doing minimum damage using minimum force". Shock and Awe is not about destruction but about power. By demonstrating such might that an opponent is stunned into surrender, and by concentrating on matters that reduced the ability to resist, it combines military force with psychological warfare. Their book argued that "The ability to shock and awe rests ultimately in the ability to frighten, scare, intimidate and disarm".

Legitimate military target, heh:

Cuba Will Keep Baghdad Embassy Open

HAVANA (AP)--Cuba will keep its embassy open in Baghdad, the Foreign Ministry announced Monday, a day after Russia evacuated most of its embassy staff.

..Many of Baghdad's estimated 60 embassies--including those of Portugal, Spain, Thailand and Japan--pulled out their staff before the war began.

The Russian convoy of departing diplomats, including its ambassador, came under fire Sunday, injuring at least four people.

Well, the handwringing by the press is not important. But this just doesn't feel right to me. Token opposition in Baghdad, the special republican guard, where are they? Possibly setup "finds" of WMD that turn out not to be true. Something just doesn't connect, could they all have fled to Tikrit, or Syria?

It needs to rain over there , there's a low ceiling and a bit of a sand storm. We need to keep our eagle eyes in the skies.
