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...

The press are losing their grip on this country and they can't handle it.

Yup! ~ And, thank heaven for the FNC. They have given America a chance and an avenue to break free from the Jennings, Rathers and Reuters of the world!

Cripes! Can not you all see we are witnessing the Standard by which all Ass-Kickings will be measured?

[MEG33]

FN Julian...if you are reading this...be quiet and go get yourself a cup of coffee....sheesh

[KSCITYBOY]

You are correct - The press has givne up any attempted at being objective and are in attack mode. BTW thanks for your service.

[Quilla]

Good morning. We've been talking about you! Thanks again for the recap.

[muslims=borg]

I'm sure our enemies are also. I'm sure China is paying close attention to our tactics here.

I am waiting for one of the "underlings" to respond why Franks is not there,

He did not draw the short straw today.

I like them all.. each has a different manner & each confident & surely this is their comedy break for the day.

Like 3 stuges reruns (only the 3 are brighter)

??? General Franks conducted the briefing this morning.

If you haven't already, go back and read this:

Jed Babbin, NRO

Babbin says these thugs attacking our troops are terrorists who've been imported by Saddam specifically to prevent Iraqi's welcoming their liberation.

The last thing the Islamic regimes in the region want to see is a free Iraq with a western alliance. They may not be able to stop our invasion, but they're trying to make sure we're not welcomed. The Islamofascists want to take over after Saddam is gone, that's why they're there.

Terrific post...thank you!

[DollyCali]

And there she is .. like a ghost from the unknown..

and full of info..

Good morning & thanks !!!!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

It's hillarious! Just like in Afghanistan, we went from "Another Vietnam", "Quagmire", "Bottomless Pit", "No Hope to Win", to......

VICTORY, in two weeks.

[Quilla]

General Franks referred to them as thugs as well. Thanks for the link.

[mewzilla]

Was anyone else as appalled and repulsed as I was by the fact that some of the presstitutes seem to think that homicide bombings perpetrated by people in civilian clothes is a perfectly acceptable military technique?

[Right_in_Virginia]

FN Julian...if you are reading this...be quiet and go get yourself a cup of coffee....sheesh

NO...not coffee...a Sominex! Go take a nap!

[glock rocks]

lithium.

[Green]

I couldn't help but laugh when Gen Franks was asked what tactics he would be using if he was at his hometown in Midland and was surrounded like Saddam is now surrounded.

Does anyone know if the river is usable for transport in southern Iraq?

I don't mean just has it been secured, I mean is it deep and wide enough?
