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...

You bet.

[hmmmmm]

I hope we get all those Iraqis. There's no way that someone who's been brainwashed/trained to fire on innocents could possibly be re-trained to be a productive member of society.

[hmmmmm]

:) Thanks! Pretty isn't it.

I gotta get me a copy of that Iraqi Patriotic video.

Fox - 1,000 to 2,000 civies shot at trying to escape Basrah

[texxie]

ok thx I'll have to bring it back up

[Grenada]

I was listening to Jim Quinn(great show,conservative,from Pittsburg,early a.m.) and he made a great point. The Iraqi officials have been escorting the foreign press to hospitals to see the evidence of US "evilness." You know, the shots of the kiddies in the hospital beds, in agony from our evil bombs. Think about the footage of one of our bombs hitting a tank under a bridge, without touching the bridge. Now, if we can hit a tank under a bridge, there is no way we are hurting Iraqi CIVILIANS. Combine that with the internation Red Cross's report that there has been only ONE Iraqi civilian killed after 3,00 bombs were dropped in Baghdad. It is utter BS! If we had a legitimate media they would have figured it out as well.

Okay, I'm new to all of the symbols. can you clue me in.

[hmmmmm]

Fox is now reporting it, William LaJeunesse is reporting it. Do you have a bagcam running? Look how close that smoke is. Our guys must be very close.

BTW, a C-5 needs 4,900 feet for a fully loaded landing. Not as importantly, it needs 12,200 feet for a fully loaded takeoff.

This one bothers me .. look how he is lighting up the oil pits around bagdad .. he sure doesn't want our satelites to see what is going on in bagdad

They switched to night bombing!

[texxie]

someone should have Peter Arnett check that out he's one of the few ;eft in Baghdad

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - 1,200 Iraqi opposition members have arrived in Kuwait. They'll act as allied infiltrators and translators inside Iraq.

[hmmmmm]

A long torture would be better for him IMHO.

[Tree of Liberty]

It won't help him. It might obscure visible light spectrum pics, but not much else.

[this_ol_patriot]

No Bagcam don't want to drop Sky, lost it once tonight and took an hour+ to get it back, this machine Win95 with an old Media player won't let me have two different streams.

[spectr17]

C-5 also needs specially reinforced concrete runway. USAF SPECOPS would do runway survey to make sure before any landings.

You don' want to ball up a C-5 on the nightly news

[hmmmmm]

And the Red Cross and the Dems our worried about how we're treating the Iraqi POWs.

[Armed Civilian]

What is the web cam address.
