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...

Gee, this from the country that was smuggling in contraband in crates on UN sanctioned humanitarian flights. Sorry, guys. The jig's up.

[Howlin]

Edible, no doubt.

I read somewhere, can't recall where, that these were actually the first group of 'palestinian volunteers' headed to Iraq to fight the 'Great Satan'.

I heard that on a local radio show.

[mewzilla]

Talk about deadenders...

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

Remember a couple of months ago when all those people died in the night club accident in Chicago? Jesse went up to a high ranking uniformed CPD officer, held up his keys and didn't ask, TOLD the officer to park his car! The officer just looked at him for a second then shook his head and walked away. Reportedly, Jesse just stood there with a look on his face like, "What did I do?"

Howlin ask yourself......how are we blocking aid to Iraq from Syria........?

We must have troops on that border..

[Howlin]

I can hardly keep up with the lies.

Somebody has a LOT to hide, IMO.

[Howlin]

Good!

[Dolphy]

I just had lunch with an anti-war type (business obligation). He told me that some of our troops closest to Baghdad are eating only one meal a day because they can't get the supply trucks to them. Is this accurate?

[Carolina]

Who is Negroponte?

US Ambassador to the UN

[Green]

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

Hello all..trying to get all caught up. I saw what Gore said and told my daugher he just needs to sit down and shut up. Now, telling my daughter that Jessee needs to join Gore in the corner.

[Howlin]

No!

[Dog]

Listen to this "reporter" on Fox....he can't speak English.....come on Fox....get better reporters.

"one's got to think and set the power far ahead of time."

There is a delay but it's not that long really, possibly 2 seconds at the most.

Since the previous 1000+ hours I had flown in my Saratoga the isnstrument scan took a little getting used to but all in all it was really easy to fly.

Hackers replaced the English-language Web site for Arab satellite television network Al-Jazeera with a U.S. flag and the message 'Let Freedom Ring' as seen in this image taken fom a computer Thursday, March 27, 2003. Calling themselves the 'Freedom Cyber Force Militia,' the hackers briefly hijacked Internet traffic destined for Al-Jazeera's Web site and to a different Web page on computers operated by Networld Connections Inc., an Internet provider in Salt Lake City.

No and it's silly to believe ANYTHING an Anti says...without verification.

[CurlyBill]

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

There is a black female soldier POW. My guess is he wants to negotiate her release...probably couldn't care less about the others. He wants to get back into the spotlight since nobody is paying any attention to him these days. .... or it could be that he just wants to get out of the country to avoid the next paternity claim!!

[waspguy]

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.

Cool! Extra stuff for us! And they deliver too!

Seriously - I can't imagine they're foolish enough to actually be wasting material that way. It's a scheme designed to let their people think that Syria hasn't abandoned the people of Iraq.

I wanna be first to say it:

"All your Basra belong to us"

[SoldiersGirl]

they carry their own food with them in their rucks. They also have cases of MRE's on the tracks. I doubt seriously after only a few days they are out of food
