Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

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...

No they don't, lol.

I had been thinking that Iran was oddly quiet, so I thought this little article should be seen, although it's hardly surprising, considering the source.

CNN reporting that:

NASIRIYA, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. Marines searching Iraqi military headquarters in this southern city that was the site of intensive fighting came across a mural depicting a plane crashing into a building complex resembling New York's twin towers, a news agency photograph showed Wednesday.

Fox - Brits to hold press conference at CentCom at the top of the hour

I was just reading on another thread that W. Clark said that Rumsfeld's plan has put our soldiers at risk. What a jerk. I really don't understand what they would consider a better plan, to crawl to Baghdad, face the same battles we have faced, and likely incur the same casualties. They way to take out Saddam, is to go to Saddam.

Late breaking BBC headline: Iraqi Surrender Poses New Setback for Coalition Forces.

Just (barely) kidding!

Wesley Clark has been damaged goods for years, and especially now since he has aspirations for a Rat nomination next year.

[Dolphy]

Wow. I wonder how long that had been around.

g'night SoldiersGirl

[Dolphy]

Yes, but apparently CNN doesn't know. We are on the outskirts of Baghdad in a week, limited casualties, particularly when you take out the non-combat ones, no attacks on Israel, the oil well aren't on fire, etc. etc. etc. Guess Clark would have had different objectives.

I don't know, but with all of Sadaams billions, you would think he could afford better artists. Sorry, but their propaganda art stinks.

[Grenada]

Thank you for the clarification. I was puzzled why we would not have been receiving supplies. I think our military is WAY more capable than that.

By the way, Quinn was reading an article about the eco-terrorists planning disruptions during the war. The eco's are planning on hitting businesses and corporations similiar to what the antis are doing.

I didn't read the article, but this sounds like good news. Have them come to us for a while. They'll die all the same.
