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...

Nonetheless, California is the same size as Iraq and more Americans have been killed there than in the Iraq War(for the same period). So when people say we are losing the war and point to casualties as a reason, we should point out that California is beating us even worse.

Some more good news...NY Tims Ad Sales Weakened Due to War...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/878305/posts I'm sure it has nothing to do with thier war coverage....

Islamic HQ falls to Iraqi Kurds

I have this gut feeling that the Kurds shouldn't be trusted.

Is anyone else having trouble with "My Comments"? I'm getting incorrect formatting. The text doesn't stay inside the page margins, goes off the screen on the right. Also, the "New Posts to You" doesn't always clear

I suspect that there's some image being loaded that is fouling up the size. If I disable image loading, I get no scrollbar at 800x600, but with images, I get a scrollbar at that resolution.

As for the "new posts", I suspect that is a server issue.

this is getting serious. 3 men were confronted by some construction workers on the bridge, they left some packages, then then REPELLED OFF THE BRIDGE!

When? Where? Got the what. The who and why we might guess...

We have to remember the folks over there are not like here .. they have had problem living next to each other for centuries

Completely unlike Chicago, Boston, Detroit, where folks have only had that trouble for one century.

Kurds might fall into that oppressor/oppressee disease.

People who have been screwed for this long, usually do not want to be all that forgiving. The Kurds could make a mess of things with reprisals if they feel secure in doing so.

Outstanding.

Yes, I've been having problems with "My Messages" for a couple days now.

I would like to know if the New York Post lost or gained ad revenue recently. That would tell the tale.

[Chemist_Geek]

Because the Iraqis have threatened to use Chem weapons.

You wear them because you want to limit your exposure when deploying them and when they come back at you.

Can someone try to get to the BBC website...I can't make a connection...

I know we're on the side of the angels here, but you gotta look at it both ways.

No we don't have to look at it both ways. We don't torture rape and murder our own citizens. We don't torture rape and murder POWs. YOU can look at it both ways, but those of us who live on planet earth don't.

I would like to know if the New York Post lost or gained ad revenue recently.

Good point. I'm curious about the LA Times, too.

[Carolina]

I'm sure it has nothing to do with thier war coverage....

I thought the NYT is above economic considerations.

[steveegg]

Qadaffi has been living in a tent for the last several years. You remember what W said about cruise missiles and tents....

I know, but he didn't say anything about bombs and tents.

You are correct, sir. I scrolled down and found a huge image that someone posted to me. A few more posts and it will go away.
