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!

Someone is puking data onto the net and slowing it way down. I can't take it any more after another allnighter. So I'm popping smoke.

:::::POOF:::::

You haven't lived until you've had a roomie who daily plays -- for hour upon hour at a time -- the original star trek series recorded in audio on a reel-to-reel.

[Air Force Born]

I think we just had a FR moment of silence. These American troops, men and women all, remind of the words of Jesus. "greater Love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend." America is sometimes described as being 'post christian,' but I will not accept that. Until the Lord is finished with us I believe, I MUST believe, that His men and women, will hold the fabric of this Nation together. In spite of our different shades of doctrine we who lift His name and cry over our land will never be ignored by our Lord. That is where we get such men.

[Conan the Librarian]

Yeh....remember the impeachment threads.....we had to start a new thread after every 100 post....it was a nightmare.

This system works much better!

[Jackie-O]

Yeah you missed it kit, I was wondering where you were!
We got everything worked out now, so it's all good.
Did you read that post from Howlin about CNN?
All I can say is that if it is true, they held back what many other news agencies have bee trying to tell the world for years!
As far as I'm concerned, they can hold hands with Al Jazeera and get the hell outa Dodge!

[retrokitten]

Baghdad's easy fall fuels Arab conspiracy theories

[retrokitten]

I was attempting to get some good sleep, but it didn't work. I'm past slap happy (that was yesterday) and on to cranky. So, maybe it's better that I wasn't around! LOL!!

I'm so thankful that we have a choice of news agencies now instead of having to rely on CNN and ABCCBSNBC for our war coverage. I think you hit it on the head, CNN is the western version of Al Jazeera.

[LauraJean]

When did NASA get a warp drive?

[LauraJean]

Thats alright, every time I hear a Lesko commercial my blood pressure goes up 10 points. I hope I never meet the guy because I don't want to go to jail for gobsmaking him with my shoe.

[Jackie-O]

I usually don't let myself get drawn in but I was a little cranky myself...I usually go to bed early due to the early hr. that I have to get up for work (4am) But I stayed on to nearly midnight!
Most of us kissed and made up..the other I just stopped responding to because it was becomming a little childish.
Those are the people that had kept me lurking for so many years...
But they're greatly out-numbered by many,many wonderful FReepers that made me feel right at home.

[melodie]

wow..it looks like i missed it last night. I'll have to go over the posts. I'm with ya retro about the cranky...I think i have an Iraqui Liberation hangover today.

[melodie]

so anyone know when we are gonna go bust tikrit's balls?

[angelwings49]

Good morning everyone! Since it's a little slow this morning, I thought I'd put in my two cents about the "unhappy camper" who complained about our live thread last night. I've only been a FReeper for a short time, compared to most of you, and before the war began, I ALways went to the "breaking news" thread--several times a day. Once the war began and the situation room live thread was started, this is the FIRST place I go in the morning (and a zillion times throughout the day & night :) This war has been stressful for all of us, and I see nothing wrong with our "chit-chat" during the slow news times. Also, I might add, this particular thread is what inspired me to become a Free Republic donor -- I enjoy this thread immensely, and I hope it doesn't change just because of one person's whining. THANK YOU all for making this war a little less stressful, and more bearable. Keep up the great work! You all rock!!!

[retrokitten]

you have freep mail.

[najida]

I second this post! I too have been here a relatively short time, but it has quickly become my favorite place to be!

It is a great combination of information and silliness that takes the edge off of the stress of what is going on in the war.

I check this place out first thing in the morning and then again as soon as I get home, sometimes not signing off until bedtime. I am totally addicted!

[retrokitten]

I'm trying really hard not to act cranky, but it's really hard!! I can't wait to sleep in on Saturday!

[Socratic]

"Our first two cleveland young men will be buried tomorrow."

Would you please send me a FReep mail or a link as to where there is info on this? I live in Huron and would like to be there to show my respect.

[AppyPappy]

I see nothing wrong with our "chit-chat" during the slow news times.

My two cents. Chit-chat is great in the Canteen or the like. I prefer most of the posts to be on-topic. Getting off-topic is OK in small doses but it tends to go to the extremes. The whole wanker thing was a great example of drift. Not fatal like a picture brawl but it makes it hard to find the pearls. People used to ping me to the Canteen and I couldn't even read it because of the pictures.

Back OT: Who is yelling on the CBS cam?

[prairiebreeze]

And may they all CHOKE on the feathers!!

Good mooooorning Situation Room! Busy work day today. I shall check in and out.

Please ping me to anything major.

Many thanks, Prairie

[amom]

Agreed. And you put it so well. :-)

I just got caught up on the posts and NOW it's time to leave for work. *sigh* Catch y'all later.

Love that "every deck needs to have a Joker" line.
