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...

The US government has declared, the US want to join the landmine-ban treaty in 2006, when they´ve found similar effective anti-N-Korea-weapons, they hope.

heitancy = hesitancy

[The Wizard]

very well put

[null and void]

Sadd-ists, Saddam-y(ists), Sad-damn...it's too easy...almost scary how his name can be used for evil.

Run "Saddam" through a MSWord spell check...

"we have seen no evidence of a 'humanitarian crisis'...we have seen statements by some reporters saying that"

[TigersEye]

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

From what I'm hearing he isn't. FWIW Rush just cut away saying "OK OK Rummy is a better man than I am, we'll be back in a moment. LOL!

[Timeout]

Also:

Is it just me or do you get the sense that Iraq is now crawlin' with Specical Ops troops?

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I wish we had enough troops to organize this distrubtion of food. Some are going to get left with nothing while others clearly have 3 or 4 boxes each. this is very unorganized.

[KSCITYBOY]

Does anyone here think that the alphabet media has a clue as to how stupid and anti-American they sound. They don't ask questions they simply try to attack Bush and the US. I never thought they could be this bad.

[null and void]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm looking for Santa to bring me a pony.

Gee, Mister! With all this stuff in here I KNOW there's a pony somewhere!!!

[rumrunner]

BBC reporting now that AFP reporting that bomb that went off at marketplace was at 6:30 p.m. Baghdad time.

[over3Owithabrain]

This is the worst media attack/bias ever. Ever! and that's saying something. There is absolutely no difference in theme or substance between Iraqi TV, Al-Jazeera, CNN or ABC.

[pitinkie]

And they say 55 dead...no scenes of the "bombing"

[null and void]

No, you didn't miss Helen. She just asked a fairly tame question about sending over more troups..She appeared to have been tranked early.

Three hippo darts to the hips...

[Dog]

Rummy just said if Syria keeps up they will find themselves classified as combatant's......whoa!!

[ican'tbelieveit]

I hope he doesn't back off from that.

[Dog]

It's not you......they're there.

[AppyPappy]

Is it just me or do you get the sense that **Iraq** is now crawlin' with Specical Ops troops?

You misspelled "Baghdad". I bet the river has been a highway for them.

[Carolina]

What the heck is all this talk about General Wallace.
