Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - 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 brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

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...

[AppyPappy]

I hope the Marines find the videotape marked "Ritter and teen in motel room" soon.

[Kadric]

Ok, there are more than likely a few more statues in Tikrit that need to come down. Please have her go show us a cheaper way to take them down. The military will be instructed not to spend one penny on her efforts.

PS: She is allowed to take her freinds with her to help.

[SoldiersGirl]

if we tell her she has to be standing under the statue when it falls, think she'll catch on?

[retrokitten]

Sure I can. Prairiebreeze (I think it was her) told me what area you live in and it's the same one as my husbands uncle and his sister. Next time we visit down there if I hear a lady saying, "Wanker" I'll come over and introduce myself. You don't hear that one too much in the far south suburbs!

[angelwings49]

Nancy Pelosi = Wangeroid

[CaptainJustice]

Exactly. The world thinks we cackle everytime a child gets shot. Newsflash: The regime shoots most of those kids, and we grieve with their parents everytime we see a child hurt. We don't like senseless violence against kids. Saddam and his spawn GET OFF ON IT. We are doing this specifically so those kids have a future that doesnt include torture and rape. We love those kids. We love humanity. And we HATE those are are inhuman, who are demons, who are monsters. We hate the rapists, the torturers, the sadistic predators (And not just Scott Ritter either!). The average american hates depravity, but unfortunately, the average arab regime thrives from it. That is the war between cultures. That is where the line is drawing. The Judeo-christian ethic of the west which has brought about civilization and culture and women's rights and human rights and an end to slavery versus the Islamic culture of the middle east which... hasn't. Its a war between nations and a war between cultures. Thank God we have MOABS! :)

[angelwings49]

Oops... I meant "wankeroid!" (someone must've moved the keys when I wasn't looking!)

[umbagi]

You can do your composition in an "outside editor," then cut 'n' paste. I use Visual SlickEdit (expensive), but I'm sure there are free ones that will check your html (for hrefs, etc.) _and_ your spelling...

Of course, I just realized that I typed this hole thang in the FR "yore replie" box, but then, I donte mak misteaks...

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

WE COULD HAVE PROBABLY BROUGHT DOWN THAT STATUE FOR A LOT LESS'...

Yeah, Klinton would have fired one cruise missile and said "That'll show 'em."

[Fledermaus]

Had to catch up on a week of internet reading...so many sites I've ignored lately.

So, what have I missed? (just kidding)!

What? No O'Reilly tonight?

[Jackie-O]

Damn..I just turned the tube on and I missed it. I hope they find some real incriminating dirt on Ritter too! Piece of $hit!!

[glock rocks]

after about 3 days on FR, I had this dream about someone saying they were working on a spell check for the forum. I honestly didn't realize I had only dreamt it until I mentioned it on here. Talk about embarrassing

when i write a reply that's longer than a line or two, i copy any quote text (like the italics above) into MS Word and type my reply in a Word document with spell checking, then copy the whole thing back into the post window. spell check.

[Krodg]

Now that the party has settled down...are there any updates?

[SoldiersGirl]

Oh, I don't really care if I have spell check or not, and by the time I typed in one place, checked it, cut and pasted it, I'd be 400 posts behind. I just thought it was crazy that I had a dream about FR

[Nam Vet]

You certainly are having fun with your new dictionary. heh heh

Nam Vet

[crobnson]

There is one other good thing that will come out of this. The Iraqi people know this about us now. They have seen it and experienced it. I feel sorry for anybody who tries to talk bad about us and the British to them.

[Carolina]

A special THANKS goes out to Carolina!! You directed me to the first Wanker discussion that tickled my funnybone and got the ball rolling for me to give my dreaded Antis a new label!!!

LOL! We've spawned a blockbuster!

[CaptainJustice]

Amen to that. We are a big, bad-ass nation. But we're real nice once you get to know us. ;)

[retrokitten]

"yore replie"

LOL!! I'm too lazy for that. If I am at work sometimes I will paste my reply in an empty e-mail and spell check that or sometimes I go over to dictionary.com. But most of the time I just put (sp?) at the end of any word I know I probably spelled wrong so people know that I know that I can't spell my way out of a paper bag.

[ChewedGum]

Cool...I use VSE also...awesome editor. (We have torqued it so it even understands the archaic, outdated, proprietary programming language I have to use for work.)
