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...

Those who look inward too much tend to bump into things.

Good [whatever part of the day it is where you are] Wizard!!

Glad to see so much interest in these threads!

If I understand the situation as of now:
1.) Press is SNAFU
2.) Dems/Libs/EuroWeenies & Coffee Can and his Merry Men are all SNAFU
3.) Column(s) of vehicles bearing down on our troops (oh no, the sky is falling)
4.) Iraqi's hate us
5.) Our forces are evil
6.) We have some mighty fine women on this thread
7.) Belly Girl is cool.

Forget anything??

?? DaliCali (sp?) has promised some evidence in support of her claims to BG Fame - has she produced it??

Check back and you'll see it was only relaying the punditry from others.I'm no expert but I believe we are doing well.

Koppel is an idiot. Any 4th grader knows that the word "War"implies impending casualties

[Woodstock]

This morning I heard that this operation has covered more ground in the shortest amount of time than any other known in recent history. Is that true?. We are watching war online.

[Dolphy]

Not for a second do I doubt your sincerity or fortune in finding that place. I think anybody who finds their true heart and lives accordingly is amazing. I just like room for everyone to pursue what they know that to be for themselves.

Having said that, I would never choose to go into combat:)

[Mo1]

Good post ..thank you

[Consort]

Forget anything??

Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.

[Dolphy]

Yes they do bump into things, things like what they want. Trust me:)

[An.American.Expatriate]

Koppel is an idiot. Koppel is not an idiot, he knows exactly what he is doing! Any 4th grader knows that the word "War"implies impending casualties Unfortunately, most College Gradutes do not know that the word War implies impending casualties - Koppel and his ilk know this and use that knoweledge to subvert.

[glock rocks]

[Woodstock]

Yes they do bump into things, things like what they want. Trust me
