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 on the weekend, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Morning, Mo. The Beeb said that we used 2 5,000 bombs last night. I missed the second one.

Thanks again from Medialess in Ohio (need to change my tagline I guess)

I metnioned last night & no one seemed to note similar problem. I have Notron w/bells & whistles. almost every time I post, very shortly afterward a trojan "tries" to enter computer..

Just letting you know. In years past I lost a few hard drives.

It is worth the $$$ to get the best antivirus blocking , firewall, blocking etc.

25,000 in one night?

[Carolinamom]

These idiots, I understand, are released soon after being arrested....an action they seek and take pride in, apparently. Some jail time AND very large fines to offset the expenses they cause cities to incurr would, hopefully, slow them down from participating in these rolling rallies.

Ooops, forgot ... Morning Carolina

"If I was running things I would assign an E2 to handle the briefings from now on."

An E2 With a real bad attitude

[Green]

LOL No Two 5,000 lb bombs.

[Carolina]

25,000 in one night?

LOLOL! I meant two 5000 bunker busters last night.

[Green]

However, that sure would have been "shock and awe", eh?

Thanks for the tip. I just put up the web cam and there are some tremendous fires.

God, last night I was watching the Clinton News Network (that's all we get here) and it was kind of similar scene being shown by their live Camera (around 10 pm EST). Aaryon Brown then comes on and says its morning in Bagdad with some "clouds" in the distance. Anyone with half a head knew it was smoke. Even my wife just about flipped.

But, I must admit that CNN made up for it (I can't believe I said that) when they broadcasted the interview with the Captain of the 7th. God it was so cool. The reporter let him talk about the fire fight the 7th went through. Very cool moment.

I'd rather see a glass-chewing gunnery sargeant who won't take any sh*t off these clymers

US Marines Grab Iraqi General in An Nasiriyah ^

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You're welcome. The CENTCOM press corps needs serious Freeping: "Useful idiots, put down your pens...!"

[Green]

Hey..did you hear that the troops have named the airport in the North that they took over? The named it Bush Internationl Air Port! Heard that on tv last night (FoxNews during Linda Vester show)

[Sparky760]

Hope you all have a great day, I'm off to work. If anyone has the time today there is a very disturbing article in Newsday today about an anti American professor at Columbia University who needs to be Freeped. He made statements that I find not only deplorable but criminal in my eyes. Here is a link to read the article http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/ny-nyprof283195355mar28,0,5244146.story?coll=ny%2Dnews%2Dprint Hope someone can get this up.
