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 and keep it running, 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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

I cannot believe someone actually asked how many more days will this war be.

Renuart slapped her down.

Finally, a question about foreign fighters coming in.

[Tree of Liberty]

ROFL!

[najida]

When this is over, we need to vote on the 'Dumbest Question' at a Centcom Briefing....

With other nominees for "Hardest to Understand Question"
And "Reporter Who Clearly Wanted Use to Lose Question"

[bradactor]

Just saw marines found 120 bunkers full of ammunition south of Bagdad on Msnbc.

[TomGuy]

see it's Gen. Renuart this morning. So, Gen. Brooks gets to have a day off from these jackals.

Gen. Renuart drew the short straw this morning.

[Timeout]

Down here in the deep South, we've got lots of car dumps. Wish we could ship all those wrecks over there....looks like they could fix 'em up & put them to good use, at the same time cleaning up our landscape down here. A TWOFER!

[Daniel Ramsey]

You have a valid point there about buying American, all these other countries are stumbling over each other salivating to see who can get in on the rebuilding.

[Catspaw]

Kerry Sanders with the 2nd Marines (location?) reports the Marines have found a weapons cache described as larger that the combined weaponry of Camp Pendleton and Camp LeJuene.

Oh, he's in Diwahnya (sp). They had spotted it previously, but now have been able to explore it.

[johnb838]

I wasn't offered the .50 caliber gun mount on my technical! I'm going to sue the bastards!

Haha... I think I'm going to start calling my pickup a technical.

[Carolina]

Today's briefing will be available later today, after it is typed up.

We have our own transcriber extraordinaire--Ragtime Cowgirl!

[Tree of Liberty]

Hehehehe, sounds like a good deal.

I need to get at least a few hours sleep now. Back later everyone.

[Catspaw]

I drive a 1989 Toyota. When it gets old enough--say another 10 years--how much do ya think I can get for it in Baghdad?

[Timeout]

Koppel's embedded...I think with 3rd ID. His last report was from near B'dad Airport.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Actually it would be a good idea if an american auto co. was to start up an assembly facility, keep the door closed to those countries like France and Germany.

[mhking]

Oh, joy, NTV is showing clips of Bagdad Bob - Oop, now they cut back to the Bagcam...

[Carolina]

I think Col. Joe Dowdy. I don't know if CentCom has said why.

[AppyPappy]

I want a Bradley to pull up to it and have a soldier duct-tape an American flag on a pole on its arm.

[Air Force Born]

I'll take a case of the 7.62x39. Maybe this is just S.H.'s attempt to broaden his economy by diversifying his exports to both oil and antique munitions.

here is an article about her being shot

[Timeout]

Unfortunately, we're not planting flags....just freedom.
