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...

Oh... so this is from our Goverment (not something coming out of Iraq) and is this message being played in Iraq or all over? (thanks... All I heard was... it was cryptic a message and something about it falling within)

[texxie]

Bet they don't have trim the nose hairs for a while

In this image from video a U.S. Army Paladin artillery vehicle explodes due to a misfire inside the vehicle during the Third Brigade's firefight with Iraqi forces north of Najaf, Iraq, Thursday, March 27, 2003. Two soldiers were injured in the incident but not seriously.

Doncha HATE it when that happens???

[Tree of Liberty]

Don't know if it's being played in Iraq. Just that the "senior military official" meant that message for direct broadcast.

CBS cam is working great. Go to CBSNews.com & the web link is there.

[pitinkie]

I salute you. I will write one to right now.

You should see the video tape of it unfold and the number of guys from neighboring guns clearing out of the way. It is quite a sight and very surprising that the injuries were so slight. But then again the soldiers interviewed said the followed their standard misfire proceedures. Good for the US Army.

That guy holding the missile has real empennage.
