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...

[hmmmmm]

Good point, maybe our guys are too close at the moment.

Ollie is with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, less than 50 miles south of Baghdad. Geraldo is with the 101st in an undisclosed location.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The 4th infantry division is the most technologically advanced mech infantry in the world. Their nickname is IVY.

You can go and sign their guestbook at their website (it's really cool): www.4thinfantry.org (or do a google search, it's the first thing that pops up).

Has anybody noticed how good Laurie Duhe looks in blue?

[texxie]

hey MC

[hmmmmm]

He was on this morning but I can't recall where, or if, he said where he was. He's looking great, btw. He seems to be thriving being back in the saddle.

[Tree of Liberty]

Ok, you know you've been on FR to long when, at first glance, that reads "the moose tightens"

[Mr.Crimson]

Even so the noose is Still tightening

I think the thing the people in Baghdad should fear is when the Kurdish troops are unleashed in Baghdad. Payback will indeed be a bitch.

[hmmmmm]

It sounded like roof activity to me but I could be wrong.

[Naspino]

I think all (non-Fox) journalists are born in France. Seven days of only 99% success. Time to surrender.

Here's Rick (I'm keeping the pics small)

Earlier today, I was away from my PC and thought I heard RL say their chem warning alerts had gone off a few times. Can anyone else hear this?

[spectr17]

Michael Wilson, CNN, NYT embed with 1st Bat/10th Marines.

Arty firing at night. Daytime, Marine's take care of themselves. Dig better holes.

Night time is alert time. All Marine's on sand berm with M-16 ready with NVGs.

Lansdcape has changed from desert to mountain peaks and valles with plam trees.

LOL

[null and void]

Who is the "Screamer"?

That would be Mo1

AKA "mid-life crisis"

[Spunky]

"Try the CBS News Bag Cam."

Can you give me the URL or a link for their Camera?

[Mr.Crimson]

Hello texxie! How are you tonight?

[dfwgator]

At least the French held out for six weeks against the Germans.

[hmmmmm]

OH wow! That's the first I've heard mentioned of them up in the north.

[rolling_stone]

What he gives you warning? I thought he was supposed to aim in your direction.....sneak attack...
