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...

Brit opens the round table by airing a rude question by a foreign journalist about the Coalition being trapped. Brit says that was the tone more or less of recent briefings from the press.

Mort says this weekend was a rude awakening. Brit: "To whom?" (like we all know--the usual dimwits).

Ha! Finally Fred says the press was the first to lose faith (no shock) and says the coverage is ridiculous.

Quick comment on Mort's comments on Special Report

The President did NOT say it would go quickly .. IT WAS THE MEDIA THAT DID THAT


IT WAS THE MEDIA THAT HAS BEEN SHOOTING OFF THEIR MOUTHS ABOUT THIS WAR WAS GOING TO BE A CAKE WALK..

OK .. off to take a nap

I was wondering if we blew up the intact longbow today. That would be bad for Saddam's gang to get ahold of one of these or its missles.

How do I figure out what my Freeper number is?

One way is on the sig line where it says "by Poser", let your cursor hover over it w/o a click and it shows up in a bar at the bottom.
