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:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running over the weekend and Monday, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

I just love it when I get errors such as this one when I use an MS product to acces MS content:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play."

My nephew finished marine boot camp this last December and heavy machine gun training a few weeks ago. He is heading over there in a day or so. I just would like to post a hearty UH RA! to him for good luck.

I think I'm going to have to take a couple days break from watching this thing. The rhetoric and propaganda from our enemies (including American media) is making me sick. I could care less if 10,000,000 civilians were killed in order to achieve our goals. Why they expect us to cry a river of tears at 15 I'll never know.

[Coog]

Amen

FNC had a still photo of Bush and Blair at Camp David. It looked like Blair had jeans and blue suede shoes on:)

"MCNBC has a large phallic-thing on their live cam web-feed. What is that? "

Did you guys pay him to say that????

[Poser]

Good Night Everyone.

I'll be scarce for the next few days. UNH (University of New Hampshire) mens hockey team is in the national finals (again). I'll be here on and off tomorrow, but be missing most of the weekend. Hopefully, by then, we will have done great damage to the killers in Iraq.

Somebody save post 4000 for me.

I love belly girl.

[null and void]

I won't post at 4000...

[SoldiersGirl]

I feel vindicated.

Here's some propaganda from the Islamic Republic News Agency ( IRNA), that I thought was interesting.

USWAR/Iraq says again Israli-made missiles fired at Baghdad

Baghdad, March 26, IRNA -- Certain military officials here on
Wednesday stressed that several of the missiles hitting the
Iraqi capital over the past days were Israeli-made ones.
IRNA correspondent in Baghdad quoted the officials as saying
that at least two of the missiles fired at the city on Wednesday had
been made by the Zionist regime of Israel.
The officials also added that certain Hebrew phrases written on
the missiles are visible on remains of the missiles found after the
air raids.
This follows previous reports that parachutes of cluster bombs
that had been found in Baghdad after US bombardments were carrying the
word "Jerusalem".
Iraq's Ambassador to Moscow Abbas Khalaf had on Sunday said that
several missiles made by the Zionist regime of Israel had hit Baghdad
in the earlier days of the US-British war on Iraq.

I bet there are some interesting phrases on those missles!
