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...

Yes, I was. I'm always appalled that the media gives the terrorists moral equivalence to our motives and fighting men and women. Quite frankly, it makes me ill.

are the attacks against our forces legitimate resistance, "I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.."
I would have loved it if he had added:
By the way, whose side are you on in the information war?

I couldn't find it in me to laugh. I found that question incredibly offensive and slanted. If these idiots in the press don't know the difference between legitimate military action and terrorism, they ought to try to visit Basra. Then they'd find out in a hurry.

You li'l debil you... keepin' quiet 'n makin' believe you weren't around.. I got sucked in and tried to sub for you... I'm not even gonna take a look and see how lousy a job I did compared to yours --- Thanks for coming in ...
I looked at your summary a bit and saw only one thing that Franks made really clear : third to the last paragraph regarding the "reserves" ... He was specifically referring to the 4th Infantry Division and about whether Turkey keeping them out was a problem. Franks stated it was very important for them to have remained off shore of Turkey for precisely as long as they were there, and challenged the reporters to speculate for themselves as to why that was true.
So many people are saying "we don't have enough forces around Baghdad, etc"... he was really hammering home that we have enough, and that with the plan we have followed there are plenty of forces in the north given the huge leverage we obtain with our air power.

Think about it......
Sort of like a "Suicide Bomber" they have abandoned all logical rationale and open their mouths without their brains engaged!
To: Green
Yes, I know he did (but not from being able to watch or hear it)..From this thread
I am referring to the question to Brooks the other day why Franks was not there..
implications as already mentioned earlier

The river Tig. is easily wide enough for barge traffic but silt problems due to desert conditions would require frequent dredging. Only small boat traffic is currently used I believe.

"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..." Hey newbie, before you go comparing our specops guys to terrorists, you ought to consider that some may hang out here.
