Good Morning.

This is the continuation Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Day 1- 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.

To all who helped this get started yesterday, thank you!

Diane Watson (D-Californis) is using the helicopter fatalities to oppose the resolution to honer our troops.

That is really twisted logic. WHat am I saying? Rats and logic don't mix.

The 11th Iraqi army has surrendered entirely. And also estimates are that 20% of the Rep. Guard is surrendering or agreed to surrender.

...Clinton Mafia

My fondest dream is that our forces uncover documents in Baghdad showing Saddam contributed to the DNC.

Banners Flying

The Cavalry
Plunging across Iraq
A land about to emerge
From a generation
Of evil oppression
Into the liberty
And tender mercies
Of Americans and Brits

The dust flies
As the dictator dies
Unmourned, celebrated in fact
For his death, not his life

And the liberators
Press for the mark
Undeterred
By the cowards
The appeasers
And the weak-minded

The Stars and Stripes
Flying once again
Signifying freedom
The decency and humanity
Of the American people
And her brave young soldiers
Setting a shining example
For a world
Greatly in need of one

I am beginning to wonder if the CIA mole has helped to orchestrate this. I am not an expert on military strategy, but putting troops so quickly on the ground and the lack of opposition makes me wonder.

Diane Watson (D-Californis) is using the helicopter fatalities to oppose the resolution to honer our troops. The Democrats are truly sick assholes

"Reuters: US forces called in British artillery fire."

Hello Carolina, and all,

if you can, it would be great if you could link to the report you post here so we don't have to lok for it but can simply open it and return.

Nothing fancy! Yesterday I simply cut & pasted the title and the URL of the article (down and dirty method!)

Add more links as you see fit.

Isn't that the truth! They behave like children who have never been taught properly and don't know any better.

Some guy on CNN saying Uday was injured some time back and has a hard time walking - if at all. Thought that was an interesting comment
