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, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

The Shock and Awe will come when we run out of designated targets and start carpet bombing RG positions. Those T-64's will become expensive latrines.

[Howlin]

Was that the Clwyd woman? (Spelling) She is very active with the Iraqi women and is a HUGH supporter of Blair's.

[ninenot]

You mean, the Hollerweird elite have become.....like the UN....like France....like Tommy Daschle......the i word? Irrelevant? Oh my!

You forget the FIRST "irrelevant" was Clinton after the '94 Republican victories...

[Mo1]

Was that the Clwyd woman?

Yes, it was her

[Lauratealeaf]

Did you hear on Fox News the statement by one of the reporters over in Kuwait say that Reuters claims that the tape of Saddam is authentic because he has his son in it? What is that all about? Just more Reuter's crap?

[epluribus_2]

??? All I hear is call to prayer - and Saddam's thugs better be praying...

Was that the Clwyd woman? (Spelling) She is very active with the Iraqi women and is a HUGH supporter of Blair's.

I don't think it was (I could be wrong!)-----I think her name was Alice Something.

Very important point that the idiot media should harken to.

[Mo1]

Call for Prayer in Baghdad

[Anomaly in Illinois]

You are so right, the MSNBC cam turns off occasionally *usually* just before someone posts 'explosions in Baghdad' grrrrr.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm going to check out CNN.

[AppyPappy]

Could you post the link to the MSNBC cam

[Dog]

Expolsions in BAG..

[cyncooper]

Yes, it was her

Oh, I stand corrected.

Good for her.

I'll be back after I waste a few hundred rounds at the range. I believe I'll take my grandfather's WWI 03A3.

I just bought a Colt .45 with a Crimson Trace laser over the weekend. Guy told me he had sold dozens of the Crimson Trace to our guys going to the ME for their Berettas.

They won't miss ;-)

[epluribus_2]

wouldn't ya just love to hear the call to prayer speaker suddenly be replaced by "Who Let the Dogs Out!" or maybe "Proud to be an American" followed by "We Will Rock You!"... we could probably do it, too.

AKA a FRepercussion...

That's a good one. :-)

Thanks, but not orignial to me. Too fogged to remember who off the top of my head.

[cajungirl]

Is anyone getting the BBC without sound. I cannot get a good linke. Any suggestions?

[Sacajaweau]

This was just on and appears to be relatively new:

We captured some Iraqi troops. The leader among them told us that he was told to protect a site no matter what, that "there were things there that shouldn't be seen". Our chem detection units are on the way.

[The Wizard]

they have B-52,'s and a wide selection of planes hitting the republican Guard outside of bagland, and some of that is audible in the background when these maroons shut up

[steveegg]

There's easily 3 times the number of people in the market than had been there historically, bringing roughly twice as much money into the system as before. Because profits have been essentially flat, that in and of itself has guaranteed that stocks are twice as expensive as "historical" models suggest (think supply and demand).

Note I'm not saying that the theories behind the historical models are wrong; just the numbers because of the additional demand.
