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!

I hope Ollie is OK, he looked so sad and haggard from fatigue the last time I saw him, so profoundly proud of his comrades, his country.

[mware]

Interesting note. Greg Kelly is the son of the police commissioner of NYC.

[Catspaw]

My hubby & I went out on a date last night. We came home, I sat on the couch...and woke up two hours later, just in time to hear Greg Kelly's report about going into Baghdad. I was awed. And then I went back to sleep :-))

I'm waiting for Ollie's report.

[SoldiersGirl]

you mean making hospital corners on all the beds isn't normal???

[Green]

Isn't Greg Kelly also a marine?

[arkady_renko]

Ollie's report last night was compelling. Hope he is OK. Sounds like the troops he was with had a rougher go of it than Greg Kelly's.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Thats a fact? after this is done he may very well become NYC's next mayor.

[nicmarlo]

And in an early report--and I only heard it once--they discovered they were sending messages by flag.

Mo1, don't know if you heard about this.....you said last night you saw flag signals in round about.....(I couldn't see them myself).....any other info on this Catspaw?

[two23]

Fox News Channel coverage (last night) was absolutly awesome. Shep's 2 hours was great - I stayed up as long as I could (after 1:00 AM). I'm sure they will re-run some of Greg, Rick and Col. North's footage. Don't miss it y'all if you didn't catch it last night.

[Catspaw]

The spelling may not be right, but Kerry Sanders reported it was in Diwahnya. I'll have to look at an Iraqi map to find out where it is--I *think* but I'm not sure, that it's in NW Iraq.

[BagCamAddict]

Courtesy of Sgt. Stryker's website:

Chip Reid was on MSNBC reporting that the 1st MArines were involved in a day-long battle against non-Iraqi units comprised mainly of Syrians and Sudanese. He said they didn't give up as easily as the Iraqis, but they were defeated nonetheless.

[nicmarlo]

I am still stunned at the exclusivity given FOX on the entrance to BAG. .... It's extraoridnary.

Very kewl and well deserved, IMO. FOX has consistently been the ONLY media in any way shape or form positive about our Country, our President, and our military. KUDOS TO FOX!

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Tons of stuff found....I keep flipping the channel and missing the details :)

[Timeout]

Re-pub-li-can Guard, where aaaaaaaaaare yew?!

[mware]

I heard that they hid it behind a wall of a school and then reinforced the wall with cement.

They said it was done several days or weeks (not sure which they said) before inspections began again.

[Green]

FN saying that the raid on 3/19 was due to informants helping CIA. Informants were later killed by Iraqi regime, 2 executed and 1 tongue cut out and bled to death.

[Carolina]

Very kewl and well deserved, IMO. FOX has consistently been the ONLY media in any way shape or form positive about our Country, our President, and our military. KUDOS TO FOX!

And for that Fox is accused of "excessive patriotic pornography."

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

#2274 LMAO (looks like they are in a whirlwind :)

[cajungirl]

Oh my dear, I hate to tell you, but I don't thnk it is done anymore. Poll Freepers,,how many do hospital corners. My guess is less than 10 percent. Libs don't change their sheets at all is my guess. And they definitely don't hang them out for that nice outside dried sheets smell.

[SoldiersGirl]

Shep was a riot last night, all excited about baghdad, crackin jokes with Rick L

very entertaining
