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...

We have Dish TV...

[texxie]

lol true

[Tree of Liberty]

Interesting. I don't know what could be causing the noise since, unless it's a ReplayTV unit, there's no moving parts in there.

[Tree of Liberty]

lol

[MEG33]

FR had already questioned that bomb crater. Why are we losing Pr war? Our press gives us first blame, their press gives us all blame.

[Mr.Crimson]

esoteric capabilities.....Thats a good one!

[texxie]

ah ha now that's a 50 cent word

[Humidston]

Hmmm.... It's just a clicking sort of sound. Don't tell me we're haunted!

[spectr17]

Dayum!! Nice mushroom cloud from bombing of dug in Iraqi positons in Kalak, N. Itaq. Ben Wedeman, CNN

[Mr.Crimson]

Two quarter words actually LOL

[texxie]

I saw that spectr was wondering what kind of bomb caused that?

[Mr.Crimson]

Mushroom clouds are good!

[texxie]

lol works for me

[Tree of Liberty]

Well, I've got DirecTV, so I'm not quite up on everything Dish, but you might want to contact the STB manufacturer's tech support to make sure everything's kosher with the noise.

Fox - B-52 taking off from Fairford

[spectr17]

Porbably J-DAMS from CAS aircraft being called in by USAF controller on ground.

[Mr.Crimson]

B52's in flight on Fox........Yeah Baby!

[Mr.Crimson]

You beat me again Tree!

[Nik Naym]

That clicking sound is probably one of those cheesy little relays some devices use when they connect to the phone line.

[Humidston]
