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...

Some of these maybe

The Mediterranean Sea (Mar. 27, 2003) -- Aviation Ordnancemen assemble bombs aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) before they are sent to the aircraft carrier's flight deck for uploading on various aircraft. Roosevelt is deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the multi-national coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.

You're probably right. Didn't think about those dohickies.

Listening to CNN radio: (can't get much else here w/o killing the puter):

• British investigating the Baath party HQ found several "overlays" (?) and good bombing site opportunities.
• Unloading at airfields in the north going on at night. Right now a lot of it is tents and other such supplies. Troops having to put up with cold weather there.
• Patriots kicked another Iraqi missile in the butt.
• No word yet on the cause of Friday's market place bombing. (I still think it was SAM fall back, or even more likely, an Iraqi car bomb.)

British Royal Marines doing no knock raids on homes looking for dirt bags. Weapons found inside homes. One genius takes pot shot at soldiers and was martyred by Royal Marine sniper.
