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...

Brokaw did a short interview with one of the Mothers who, at that time, had NOT been notified by the military yet. She found out by seeing a picture of her son.

[Dolphy]

How horribly sad. The poor woman.

[Tree of Liberty]

That'd be the ubiquitous belly girl. Gawk in wide-eyed wonder along with the rest of us.

My HEARTFELT condolences re: Snowe and Collins.

"Saddam showed pow last time, if alive he would do the same now."

I don't remember video's of POW's getting shot in the back of the head, execution style, during DS 1.

Fox - major battle in the city of Nasaria

[justshe]

Yep.

[Dolphy]

Geesh, you will want to send me flowers, my Senators are Stabenow and Levin:)

[knak]

fox?

[momofsixgirls]

no, there weren't any, I was only referring to the pow

[Fledermaus]

I don't care to rehash 1992, but I don't give Perot that much credit. Buchanan hurt back then, and a huge number of folks just plain stayed home that would normally vote GOP.

Lot's of factors. My point was that when Bush 41 was high after GWI the Dems were considered to be running a 3rd string at 1992.

And I still don't count out a 3rd party given the morons out there that will jump on one out of celebrity alone. Fortunately, at this point, I think it would drain votes from the Dems.

An Iraqi's Story of Saddam's Brutality

[Diddle E. Squat]

You can blame CNN. They called the mom and ran the interview. Just finished replaying it.

[GOPyouth]

This is all well and true, but if you're going to source a story, we need to source it right.

[PRND21]

They showed a Santa Fe station's interview on Fox L.A.
Elsewhere, their protest coverage was slanted heavily towards Support Our Troops.

[Fledermaus]

I've got Frist and Lamar! :-)....was Frist and Thompson, much better

My HEARTFELT condolences re: Snowe and Collins.

Heheheh. I pick where I live. These gals are mental lightweights, and as a consequence, unflappable. Portland (major population center) is Boston-north, with liberal CT, NY and RI thrown in. The kids vacationed here in the 60's, and moved in because it is a really nice place.

During DS1 Sodamn was going to stay in power and he was going to use POW in a different way. Now that he knows that we are taking him out he will use them in a way that he thinks will demoralize us.
