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:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Great question and answer question session going on right now on Fox. 1st Lt Josh Rushing CENTCOM spokeman, answering Fox questions one by one shooting down rumors and answering/clarifying questions.

Another FReeper pointed out last night that this is actually damage from Saddam's dreaded new weapon....the Pothole Missile. Portland Oregon has been under attack by these for years.

yup. bagcam has a group of boys taking care of things. there's achmed the janitor with his daily cleaning... the boys had a keg party a couple days back, and i've heard them microwave popcorn. i imagine they were late this morning due to the need for new underwear following last night's firework display.

If that is all the damage our bombs can do..we are in trouble LOL

Mornin'... I just got up and heard that 4 bodies were found in a shallow grave and one was dismembered, they were our soldiers? Is this from the car bombing?

[Senator_Palpatine]

Operational pause....

[Green]

No..the shallow grave was found in the area where the POWs were captured. A forensics team is on the way to the area.

[ztiworoh]

Is that Belly Girl's replacemtent?

[Cate]

thanks Green for the info. Dang, this is not a good way to start the day.

[Green]

there is a thread on it in the breaking news sidebar if you want to get some more info on it

[Daniel Ramsey]

It just dawned on me while I was cooking my breakfast, the C-130 also delivers FAE's and the ballyhooed MOAB I think...maybe its time for some MAJOR stuff?

[Catspaw]

No, they're not from the car bombing. They were found in the area where our Marines were taken captive.

Good news for a Saturday morning! AP article in the Herald-Sun about Blix leaving at the end of June to spend more time with his family.....yeah.

[Nam Vet]

"CNN reporting that AC 130 Gunships have joined the battle."

I've been wondering when these boys were going to be invited to the party.

so Blix has blixed himself, huh? couldn't happen soon enough IMO

[The Wizard]

CNN: 4 missing marines found dead in hollow grave one dismembered, and tortured...

POW, a new meaning in Iraq

[Consort]

Blix is disappointed, Sarandon is disturbed, Daschle is deeply saddened.....and it's all our fault. What are we going to do?

[Carolinamom]

Read the article and weep....w/laughter. Seems the US is putting together its own inspection team w/EXPERTS and although 2 of Blix's inspectors have been retained, HE was not asked!

Well at least no more of his diplomatic double speak and having to read his written report to find what he couldn't bring himself to say outloud.
