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...

Yeah that's really small arms fire, looks like we;re on the move again possibly, taking more of the city

[RippleFire]

Small arms fire on the Bagcam or Ahmed is having popcorn

Yes, anything associated with the clinton era is tainted for me, too.

I don't know if this means anything, but I feel like sharing it anyway. I actually saw Clinton in person twice neither time was because I wanted to. One time when I was 15 I accidentally ran into him when he was on a campaign stop in downtown Chicago. Then two years later (1993ish) he came to my highschool to speak. Earlier my senior year Dan Quayle came to speak- maybe that was junior year? It doesn't matter.

When VP Quayle came the school administration set up the stage in this little tiny part of the gym. They didn't require that everyone go (it was late in the day, thursday or friday). There were maybe 200 people there and it was poorly lit. That night on the news all they could talk about was not what Quayle had to say, but that they had shoved all these people into a tiny part of the gym to make the crowd look larger!

Fast forward to May of 1993. Clinton comes to announce some new education bill at our high school. Well, you would have thought this was the second coming! Kids were being bus'd in from other schools all around the Chicago metro area. The band played. The entire gym was lit up bright as the sun. There was a HUGE stage set up. All the media was there just fawning over bubba.

Now, I realize that the president coming to your school is a big deal no matter who it is, BUT it was in such a sharp contrast to the earlier treatment of the VP that it really struck me even then. I guess that was my first taste of media bias.

Oh gads, he's singing that 'you missed me, here I am..'

[Mjaye]

Disregard "5000", blame on sleep deprivation.....

[weatherFrEaK]

yep, sporadic for the last 45 min. or so. much more now though.

[Poser]

Good, now hit the back button and save that browser for about 2 hours.

[Warren_Piece]

Anybody watching MSNBC?

[CincinnatiKid]

Itchy trigger fingers?

Seeing things in the dark?

Baghdad Frank singing "My Way" Again. On second thought it sounds like the Sinead O'Connor version.

[ztiworoh]

Hmm, Im surprised I recognized it, but it appears that the chant is the Islamic 99 names of god, each beginnning with Allahu ______, _______ being a name of God, such as merciful, protector etc.... just for your information

[Kenno]

Hopefully he'll be known for domestic policy as well--assuming he pushes hard for his agenda after the fighting is over.

[ztiworoh]

Ollie Alert!

[angelwings49]

That chanting sounds spooky to me

[Warren_Piece]

Damn! MSNBC Reporting we got Saddam (again), and Ollie's on. Choices,,,,

[Cboldt]

I think 10 years from now, this administration will be looked back upon as a turning point in American foriegn policy, possibly the biggest changes in a half a century. Honestly, this administration has been a huge surprise to me, its like "Reagan: The Next Generation"

It's been a pleasant surprize for me too. We'll see how far GWB manages to press, but on the forign policy scene, these are the biggest changes for the next 50 years, or more. THis is a big deal going down, with ramifications for the EU, UN and many other spheres of influence.

We dodged a big bullet in Nov/Dec 2000. Most of the US knows it, and the fact has come home in the form of 9/11, and an adult response to 9/11. The adult response will feed GOP victory at the ballot box.

I know that two23 has a whole bunch of pictures, too. She might have it.
