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...

Good Night. Aussie's suggestive photos are taking 'em down fast. LOL

But of course this will be reported as "As Iraqis try to flee Basra, heavy shelling of Iraqi positions forces them to return" or some such BS . . .

Good morning, of course, and I'm waiting to see them spin the chemical weapons as being defensive against the Coalition

[this_ol_patriot]

Actually Sky News has been hitting that pretty hard with the truth and the new chemical sighting, they still nail us during the lulls though, so let's pump things up.

An Iraqi child carries a Meal Ready-to-Eat given to her by a U.S. Marine on the outskirts of Um Qasr, Iraq March 23, 2003.

I managed to talk to FReeper Dundee who's on one of the ships off Umm Qasr at the moment (it's good to work where you get access to secure comms). Apparently he's seen some action leading a couple of the boarding parties.

I only wish you could read the after action report, the man has a big pair of brass ones, that's for sure. He and all our guys are doing us all proud.

Coalition Forces Destroy Tank Column; Regime Threatens to Kill Iraqis

[The Wizard]

2 points: when are the criminal liberal media going to start reporting how bad these Iraqi killers are, reporting the eveil things they do.....Blixy babby was a complete jackass who helped the Iraqis hide what they were doing

[glock rocks]

g'mornin bump, folks.

[this_ol_patriot]

I think I have a good idea why the Iraqi's will be hard to get on our side. These people are all emotion, I suppose that's all they have left with all thought beat out of them day after day. Just saw the film of that drone that was shot done and they actually seemed to be enjoying their dance of victory, even some old coot, nothing seemed forced about it. They looked like kids on Christmas, look what Father Saddam has brought us. Kind of like Uncle Joe Stalin in a way.

I just got up a couple of hrs. but may go back to bed seeing all these cozy pics.

[The Wizard]

point two: when are they going to control these crowds when giving out food........obviously they don't have the Disney people making lines.......

They need to stop the riot mentality and calm them down.....I say afew shots in the air to get their attention, and a single file line after that

US policy has always been chemical weapons are considered the same as nukes.
