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...

"Kickin ass and takin names" soldier on FNC

Fox - Levanthal interviewing a Lt. Col in charge of his unit. Different war than what the analyst fought. "kickin' ass and taking names". If analysts have issues with how fast their moving, let them come on out, he has room in the back of his LAV.

An unidentified U.S. Marines hangs a sign, making a joke about slow moving troops, along their road to Bagdad, north of Nasiriya in central Iraq, Thursday, March 27, 2003.

Alright Lt Col (?) disagreeing with media war analysts saying this is our war not GW I or Vietnam..!!!!

[Grenada]

Rick is interviewing commander and he said "We are kicking ass and taking names" That is a direct quote form US leader.

[Pro-Bush]

FOX ALERT: Iraqis unloading Chem Drums!

[Armed Civilian]

Well he was willy's general. You know allied supreme commander, one day leader of the "un" standing army. Oops, I dropped my tin foil hat.

[Mr.Crimson]

20 bucks huh? Cool!

[hmmmmm]

I like Gen. V also but I've read somewhere here on FR that he gives some specific info on Batchelor & Alexander that seems a bit far-fetched. I can't recall the specifics at the moment but I'll try to find those threads.

[WKB]

I seem to soften to anyone who comes to Fox.
I saw David Shuster on MSNBC I wonder what happened to him at Fox.

[Tree of Liberty]

I still can't forget how bad she screwed up with the SCOTUS election decision.

[Mo1]

Yep, he was at the Valley Forge Rally .. I didn't know much about him at the time, but sounds like that boy has seen alot of stuff

I heard he has like 7 purple hearts along with a number of other medals

[Mr.Crimson]

Tellin it like it is

[SoldiersGirl]

it was mine to start with...but still cool to find :-)

"Marines are holding up well, ready to continue, the weather isn't a problem, these guys are just ready to go, we're ready right now to go all the way"

haha...desperate for cold beer.

[Tree of Liberty]

I think his contract was up and NBC flashed him some more green.

[Mr.Crimson]

Holy Mackerel I didnt realize that....

[Mr.Crimson]

[Grenada]

RL again, Marines are holding up well and are anxious to go RL is back on camera and the Lt Colonel says that the only thing the guys want is cold beer!!
