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...

When terrorst join in a battle are they still considered terrorist or is it some other form of warfare? What were the VC, French Resistance, American Colonist?

[Right_in_Virginia]

State your point, please.

thanks for updates.. doesn't looklike Ragtime is on .. is someone else a magician like she is to do a Cencom recap?

as i suspected crap on my two local channels in this media/electronic disadvantaged household.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

No, they are simply desperate and are not willing to admit they cannot win, so they resort to tactics that are beyond decent human behavior.

Honorable military wear uniforms and surrender when beaten. Terrorists have no honor. therefore, give them death. It is all they understand.

The Ny Time actually has an editorial this morning about Al Jazeera's valuable contribution to the world. I just couldn't click on it to see what it said beyond that.

I went to CBSnews.com and clicked on the Baghdad Live Cam. It had the audio of the CENTCOM briefing.

It might be broadcast on a radio station since you don't see it on local tv stations. Do you have speakers on your puter? It's always online on various web sites

[OXENinFLA]

Looks likes Gen. Franks is running on about 1 hr. of sleep.

...is someone else a magician like she is to do a Cencom recap?

Are you kidding? Ragtime is amazing and after her recaps appear, most of us are just staring at the screen in awe and revealing we can type 10 words per minute. I don't know how she does it!

Fox Sunday 9am est

I think he's just pissed off.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Our presidents ratings are steadily going up and now 78% of this country now believe this war is necessary.

The liberal press is alienating themselves to the point that they are no longer viewed as serious.

Fox news is blowing them away in record proportons.

[babaloo]

Did you just see Tommy Franks' answer to the question as to whether he knows if Saddam Hussein is dead? He said " I do not know if the leader of this regime is alive ore dead." Carefully chosen words.

[vapatriot98]

Well, I quess next time our SF goes in on a mission we should tell them to take off their local clothing and wear their uniforms instead..We don't want to be called terrorist now do we....

[Miss Marple]

General Franks makes note of the effort to create division among the leadership of this country and the military, and says they need to know they will not be successful.

HA!

[Quilla]

Newsweak had a similar Al Jazerra article yesterday that was reprinted on pmsnbc. I made the mistake of clicking on it but after reading about one of their extremely fair and balanced reporters, I didn't have the stomach to finish reading it.

[Miss Marple]

We are NOT in operational pause, despite what pundits say.

Reuters has now 2 strikes. Escort them to the border, please, General Franks!

[muslims=borg]

Wow ...no supply line questions yet...you just know one of these reporters wants to bring that up.

[Green]

good morning Miss Marple!
