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...

Someone needs to tell Julian...and quickly...the missle that landed in Kuwait was not ours!

Well....now....according to the NYTimes, it may have been one of ours [even though it was technologically similar to the Chinese, had a Chinese circuitboard, and had Arabic writing---details, details...]

I would like a link to a Fox News live feed. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thanks again, ragtime, for your summary; I overslept this a.m. and only caught the last two items Franks talked about (the death squads in cities and the so. oil fields)....but I knew I could look for a post around the 8 o'clock hour for your summary, and I'd be all caught up! I appreciate it.

Now if you or someone could answer a question. Up top of your summary is referred to another suicide bombing on a truck......I hadn't heard about this, as it must have happened last night/early this a.m. while I wasn't watching the news......was this prevented? None of our troops killed? Thanks.

If it were stupidity I wouldn't be this darn mad. Stupidity would be understandable. What this miserable excuse for a human being was exhibiting wasn't stupidity.

Sounds like the clintoons...

The Clintoons...king and queen of the anti-Vietnam war wing of the "boomer" generation. Their poison continues to ooze.

no such feed

[Quilla]

Sadly, no such link exists. Fox does not have a live news feed.

[Carolinamom]

The reporters are the ones who need to do some PAUSING.....to rethink their bias, to contemplate how American men and women are daily facing death to protect them, to consider choosing another profession.

[mewzilla]

AP? Yup. There's a trustworthy news source. Even if true, seems to me that Gen. Franks has everyone on their guard.

Here you go nic:

Yesterday, on FOX I think it was, they said there had only been 500 Iraqis leaving into Jordan but 5000 coming into Iraq as suicide bombers.

[nicmarlo]

Thanks quilla, will go update myself on that now...

[Right_in_Virginia]

Well....now....according to the NYTimes, it may have been one of ours...

Like I said, someone needs to tell Julian the missle that landed in Kuwait wasn't one of ours ;^)

[The Wizard]

some of these check point guards are showing their youth: not patting down between the legs......

I hope no one has to die to remind them this is war.....

[bitty]

That explains why I have not been able to find a live link to Fox News. Thanks!

[mhking]

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....

Figure out what you're talking about before you stick your foot in your mouth. SF wears uniforms. It's not our fault that the enemy has decided not to follow the rules of warfare and to tread down the path of terrorists.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I agree!

the American public are learning from the newly wide-range of media choices, they no longer require "SPOON FEEDING". The public is on to their Leftist agenda. The harder they spin the truth the more convinced the public becomes of their lies and bias.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Mornin' all! Thanks, AFPhys! Nice of Gen. Franks to wait 'til I had my coffee this morning. (^:

Once again the press corps grills us evil liberators and defends the torturers of children.

How long will the patient Generals be able to protect the press from an increasingly outraged American public? Stay tuned...

[The Wizard]

thank you for this great service

I would like a link to a Fox News live feed. Thanks to anyone who can help.

So would we all. It ain't happening. The closest you'll come is the WSVN-TV link from Miami -- they run FNC coverage of special reports. Other than that, there is no FNC feed on the web.
