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...

Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people, I'm sure.

Memo to camera pool. Have cameras on the OUTSKIRTS of the main city too....IF we ever have a war like this agin.

[Miss Marple]

Ah, yes. That movie by he whose name I cannot seem to remember...made during the high point of the Alan Alda period on network television, in which all military programs actively tried to make the military look bad.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Menudo...the B-52's...

You have very eclectic musical tastes.

[Carolina]

I remember them!

Ha'aretz:

01:45 Electronic identifying beacon problems on British Tornado fighter may have led U.S. to mistakenly shoot plane down Sun.

I do recall it was for desertion. Really wanted to point out the irony that the actor was President Sheen.

[Tree of Liberty]

I don't. I think I'll count myself lucky.

[Miss Marple]

He was type cast.

[justshe]

Has anyone seen a report from Ollie North today?

[Miss Marple]

I think North reported early this morning. After that, nada.

No Greg Kelly since this morning either. Leventhal has been rerun several times, but his last recent report was this morning.

CNN is interviewing the family of one the Apache POWs. Kudos to his mom for saying that he looked like he always looked when he was mad and that she loved him and was proud of him. "He wanted to go...he was eager to spank some butts."

Dad commented on how he was eager to go too. The family is very supportive

A big prayer and thumbs up to the salt of USA.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I think the rumbling is just wind on the microphone.
