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...

I wonder if the Predator fired a laser guided bomb....if so...we had someone putting a beam on that dish.......boots in BAG.

Actually, if the Predator's cameras can see it, then the Predator can put a beam on it.

General Myers said it was a Hellfire - is that laser-guided?

[mystery-ak]

Rummy is pissed....LOL

[Carolina]

Jamie McIntyre from CNN now has two arseholes. :-)

Richly deserved!

[azGOPgal]

Not like it's hard to do, but Rummy is making these idiots look like incompetant fools who don't know a thing.

[prairiebreeze]

More slaps to the Media!! Accused Pentagon of under reporting casualties. Rummy put him in his place good.

Today's BS: nationalism...

The premise is that maybe the Iraqi people don't like Saddam, but they don't want us to help them because of their " feelings of nationalism"

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I don't know how Rumsfield puts up with that crap....

[pitinkie]

Now they say 50...

[AlextheWise1]

Predators can carry two Hellfires, and guide them themselves, and I believe they have laser designators

[Not A Snowbird]

You know Rummy's ticked off when he answers a question with "Oh, my goodness".

[Green]

What the heck is all this talk about General Wallace. I must have missed something. What did this general do?

[AppyPappy]

I think the Hellfire is self-guided.

[null and void]

Was refering to nully's very bad pun at 1807!

A very bad pun? There's another kind?

[r9etb]

I just can'r wrap my mind around a MARINE seeing this and not taking them out!

Could have been too far away. Plus which, an ill wind would probably blow the bad stuff toward our guys if the barrel got ruptured. Finally, who says they didn't get taken out?

[The Wizard]

me either; I'd bring and gun and tell them, be careful what you ask today

[Timeout]

One of the military analysts on Fox made that point last night....all those bombs didn't fly in there by themselves. Somebody's pavin' the way for them.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I swear to God, these Iraqi's are getting their daily talking points from our media... watch CNN and study what is said there, and bring it out the next day.

[retrokitten]

Now you did it...there's no crying in Freeping!

LOL! Don't say I didn't warn you! I got very teary, too.

BTW, that's one of my favorite movies. I know that stupid Penny Marshall directed and stupider Rosie and Madonna starred in it, but it's really funny.
Kid: "How 'bout you take me in the back seat and make a man out of me?"
Dottie:"How about we stay up here and I smack you around?"
Kid: "Can't we do both?"

[prairiebreeze]

Rumsfeld says he's developed a certain "heitancy" over the years about media headlines!!

LOL!!
