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...

I think I know what's going on now with the war and in the end the libs aren't going to like it one bit. One thing the news hasn't mentioned (just a piece of the puzzle ) is that our intel is getting flooded with reliable information from the ground that may effect our plans to a great degree. Not a bad thing, just slows things down.

After a week I'm sure there is some tweaking of the plan. If you don't adapt you end up like the dinosour.

A trapped animal can be very unpredictable.

Yep. I believe the Antonov is the largest cargo aircraft on the planet. In fact, we leased it the other year to bring back the recon aircraft that the Chinese forced down, since they wouldn't let us effect repairs and fly it out under its own power.

Fox - CentCom British military officials confirm Iraqis firing on 1-2,000 civilians trying to flee Basra.
