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...

Re: Negroponte presser

Aw, gawd. Stupid question about Jesse Jackson helping with humanitarian aid!

[Solson]

That's a heck of an idea. What if...the US immediately establishes a temporary government(regional) in Umm Qasr to establish the city. Then the same in Al Nasariyah and then in Basra. Each city as they go...

It would prove to the citizenry there is INDEED a new Sheriff in town, it would spread like wildfire, it would allow for Iraqi citizens to find, try, judge, and punish their own who support Saddam and have accosted citizens and immediately change the game.

If only....

Are you sure that wasn't Michael Moore trying to pass himself off as a retired General?

[Timeout]

Sadly, the 2-yr-old didn't make it. So sad.

Guess Jesse wants to be a human shield.....good I'm sure the Fedyeen Saddam will weclome him with open arms...

[dfwgator]

US to UN, "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

[SoldiersGirl]

Let's send Jesse into Baghdad to deliver food. If we forget to tell him when we bomb, well...oops

[CWW]

They also reported that the drones were likely ones that have been missing for months.

[retrokitten]

Apparently Jesse Jackson showed up at the UN today

Honestly, I thought you were joking when you posted this until I saw the other posts. He is a such a national embarrassment.

[Solson]

Yes, indeed unfortunate. But the effort to save the lives of those who may kill you (not this child but you get the point) is, IMO, a true definition of Compassionate Conservatism. :)

[AppyPappy]

Who is Negroponte?

[AppyPappy]

Someone needs to ask him how his newest child is doing.

[Dog]

Explosions in the southern part of BAG!

[Howlin]

Well, I just heard on Fox that the Iraqis are claiming that the U.S. is stopping trucks of "aid" from Syria to Iraq. That's a hint.

[CWW]

U.S. U.N. Ambassador -- and a damn good one!

[MEG33]

War of the Century instead the Mother of all Battles according to Iraq.The Iraqis are sending food to Basra.(pigs flying)

[Howlin]

You can bet Jesse is going to find a way to get over there.

[Dog]

There is the night vision googles Syria promised..

[Carolina]

Let's send Jesse into Baghdad to deliver food. If we forget to tell him when we bomb, well...oops

It's a freaking circus! All the idiots coming out on display. Geesh!
