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...

Your analogy is deficient.

The common definition of "terrorist" is one who terrorizes the civilian population, typically through killing and/or wounding civilians and/or targeting civilian-occupied buildings. This is by INTENT.

You may argue all day long that our SF operatives have killed/wounded civilians and/or taken out civilian-occupied buildings, but you cannot argue that these actions have been INTENDED to do so.

Where such actions have occurred it is by ACCIDENT--or by the deliberate manipulation of appearances by people such as Saddam and his cabal.

Now either work with common definitions or go back to DU.

I can hear a lot of thumps in the distance.

[Green]

I think the main point you are missing here is that SF are not trained to attack civilians...PERIOD

[Quilla]

Thank you for the clarification.

[The Wizard]

he is a joke

[glock rocks]

jets overhead BAG cam.

AAA.

booms in distance

[mhking]

and that means wearing local clothing...

When necessary, sure. But that does not include the terroristic tactics that are being engaged in by the enemy. Our troops are not engaging civilians, period.

Jets, or music to one's ears?

[mhking]

I can hear a lot of thumps in the distance.

Yep, and from what I could hear, something big went by way overhead, too.

[glock rocks]

[mhking]

Jets, or music to one's ears?

Yes.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Something just isn't right with you.

I think it was an Iraqi car listening to Jefferson Airplane.

Brother-in-law works as a civilian at FtLewis, depot-level repair of choppers. My kids all have photos of them "flying" Apaches under repair.

Nice rifle ranges out there. Took nephew for some target work.

[Socratic]

I have not laughed nor cried so much since this war began.

No Belly, just a cute pic. She is called "Patriot Girl"

[mhking]

More booms in the distance...

[vapatriot98]

I agreed with that! 18F all the way...

Russert is nailing the Iraqi rep (UN) to the wall.
