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...

[Tree of Liberty]

Yep, Col. Hunt is the guy with the raspy voice.

[texxie]

[null and void]

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

[hmmmmm]

Dang, I've always have a problem with poetry. *l*

Had you mentioned one of the Fox guys, well... we're getting to see a whole lot of uniforms lately and even those still in the studio are well worth watching *g*.

[lorrainer]

is there a support group for FR? ~ SoldiersGirl

Hey! I can quit any time I want to! ~ lorrainer

Me too! I've quit dozens of times...

I'm blaming it on peer pressure. You all are enablers.

[SoldiersGirl]

well...at least I have something to put in the fireplace....

01:30 AM EST | 9:30 AM IRAQ | "Proof" of bio weapons found
British soldiers have found proof of biological weapons according to the BBC. This will, of course, strengthen Blair's position in his party and the country. Many of his governing party, and in the country as a whole, have been unwilling to believe that Iraq currently holds biological and chemical weaponry.

But he said fresh evidence turned up over the last few days had proved the regime's willingness to use weapons of mass destruction.

NB: He refers to Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon. His comments can be seen on video here.

[Dolphy]

Night all.

[Tree of Liberty]

You're right, but he's hoping to play a liberal Eisenhower. It's apples and cumquats, though, since Eisenhower really had to be pressed to accept the nomination.

[Armed Civilian]

Now is not the time to be interviewing POw fams and KIA fams.

[Tree of Liberty]

Later

[Consort]

I think they are all running for Vice President whether they know it or not.

[hmmmmm]

I don't think it was a drill, it was the real thing.

He is LAR and he didn't give away any details, only that it had been seen. He didn't even say by whom.

Good night!

[Tree of Liberty]

Yep, "flaming" liberalism, and all :)

[Pro-Bush]

I think roof activity...Heard distant voices speaking English with thick Iraqi accent.

[spectr17]

I'm so proud of our troops.

[Tree of Liberty]

He did say it was seen in different locations by different units and passed to Marine intelligence.

[this_ol_patriot]

Well if I hear them say Pentaghin again you can have mine.

[paul544]

Well he can try, but the militant peace protesters (talk about an oxymoron) will never have it. I mean, look at Dasshole and Pelosi. The leaders of the party and all the can do is beotch and moan about the war.

[Armed Civilian]

He really came out against the war on MTP
