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...

Sky News - Baath Party office hit in Bagdad

[r9etb]

As for the INC .. Iraq is full of different tribes that have been at each others throats for years .. I'm thinking that the Bush Administation wants to set up something where they all have a voice and somehow can get along enough to bring democracy to the region

Good point. The last thing we need is to be seen installing "our guys" as "puppets." The current approach in Iraq seems closer to what we did in Afghanistan, with Karzai.

"<--- I'm with Stupid"

LOL! That's a good idea.

We should veto any ideas they come up with, but then Blair would be hung by the neck in the British Parliment and Bush couldn't allow that to happen, could he?

From Roman numeral 4?

Yes. You can see the Ivy motif in all their insignias. Check out their website, it's excellent. They have a long history.
