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...

what's with all the traffic on the baghdad cam? where do all those people have to go that's so important, during a war?

[momofsixgirls]

keep up hope..I used to have metzenbaum and glenn, we got rid of them got two republicans now!

[lorrainer]

I fold. I thought Feingold and Kohl would take the pot, but your hand is too strong...

[Diddle E. Squat]

The Brokaw interview was completely different. The mom called NBC, not vice-versa. Also its hard to use info against a dead person, as opposed to a POW.

At least you KNOW you have Democrats for Senators. With Snow and Collins....it's always a toss-up. But if it's something I really support....I can almost guarantee that Snow and Collins will vote against it. I am actually suprised they haven't switched their Estrada vote.

I don't like 'dirty politics'....but I keep hoping someone will find a way to rein these jackass-ettes in.

[Fledermaus]

have you noticed their are no traffic lights there? at least they aren't on. Everyone pulls in and looks and moves on. No accidents yet.

Maybe causing an accident in BAG is punishable by death! lol

[MEG33]

Of course. Nothing more said. Someone put up a thread .Fierce fighting on the peninsula by Brits,too

[Cboldt]

I moved OUT of Michingan in '84, and tried WI in '93.

Face it, the Senate is dysfunctional. I have high hpes though, with Frist and Bush -- both determined, strong and practical men.

Wouldn't they only notify the mother if he wasn't married? This guy is, they notified the wife. Evidently SHE didn't think it important to notify the mother.

[Cboldt]

'night all.

in all these POW vids and pics, why are everyone's pants undone?

That's what I asked the lady at airport security when she had me undo my belt and pull down my pants. I was not pleased. I told her that we have Islam to thank for all of this mistrust of law-abiding Americans. Her supervisor asked me if there was a problem. She didn't say anything when I told her the same thing. They let me buckle up my pants and proceed to my flight.

They didn't kill me like the Muslim scum did to this guy. My heart goes out to the families of these US soldiers. They were very brave. But his sacrifice will not be in vain.

[knak]

But where are they going? To work?

[Fledermaus]

Big fight in Nasariya....FNC saying it's to secure bridges...I wonder if we might be trying to get our POW's...wonder if they moved them.

[GOPyouth]

Sirens in Baghdad.

[knak]

ok, that means danger, right?

Here is an email I recieved (Sent to CNN and me among others) from a good christian freind who is, to be politcally correct, a right wing wacko (like me), or as most here would call a patriotic real American:

CNN NEWSROOM:

I have been watching your coverage of the War in Iraq and until today thought that you were going a good job. But, when you brag that you were the first to obtain the videos for the Al-Jazeera and get great delight in showing pictures of soldiers lying dead on the ground, and coming out of burning buildings on fire, I KNOW that you will do anything, at any cost, for the sake of sensationalism. You obviously don't care for the families of our soldiers! You have no moral decency and/or sensitivity, as long as you get the story. Well, not that you care, but here's a story for you. CNN is the only news channel available on the dish network that I have, but I can assure you that I will do without if they cannot provide me with another network. You are disgusting!(emphisis hers!)
