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!

Candy Bomber wants to fly over Baghdad (pilot who dropped candy in Berlin airlift)

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- The pilot known as the Candy Bomber for air-dropping handkerchief-tethered chocolate and gum to the children of Berlin in 1948 wants to do the same thing for the kids of Baghdad.

[nicmarlo]

No more air raid sirens

You're right.....none sound any longer.....when did they stop?? I quite overlooked that.

[Catspaw]

FN just reported major explosions SW of the airport so that is probably what prompted the serenade.

Is this the "unconventional" warfare Baghdad Bob called for in his daily rant? If so, the Iraqis are going to be smashed, squished and blown to smithereens.

[mercy]

Samsung makes a flat screen monitor with TV picture in picture included. I like it.

[Green]

I just saw that video of Saddam again. Something had been bugging me about it and I just figured out what it was. His mustache (may a pox be upon it) is always much darker than it is in that video.

[nicmarlo]

I downloaded RealPlayer (just for the war.....it's better than Windows Media); but what I was talking about was my operating system (OS), it's Windows ME (Millenium Edition)---it stinks.

[ztiworoh]

I think it is him, but from either the first gulf war, or the bombing campaign in '98

[Warren_Piece]

His mustache (may a pox be upon it) is always much darker than it is in that video.

Just for men (no one can tell)

[ztiworoh]

worst OS ever

Upgrade to XP NOW!

[nicmarlo]

The kids would love those candy drops....and probably help them be less afraid of planes, once the bombs stop dropping, of course; he can't be allowed to do it before then, as the children would run outside when they heard the plane, hoping for candy....

[GRRRRR]

LOL--Thanks very much, but they're STALE!

Oh Well...

[Green]

someone (?) broke them a few days ago... don't know who it was - I didn't do it

[nicmarlo]

Samsung makes a flat screen monitor with TV picture in picture included. I like it.

I've been looking at flat screens, but how much is the tv within the tv? $900 + ?

[Abigail Adams]

Yes, I also notice the gray mustache, including in the video from the first night of the war. There's no way he's going to walk around in public--too easy to shoot him, and he's too paranoid for that.

[don-o]

No feasible deliveries for groceries.

Suggest Domino's. The CEO is pro-life.

My son's laptop came with XP on it and it was awful. I had it removed and put WinProfessional 2000 on it and it works like a charm.

[nicmarlo]

Yeah, I was looking at upgrading to XP ... as soon as I've got some extra money....my break light warnings just went on in the car....this after spending $600 on other repairs a few weeks ago.....I'm poor right now, needless to say.
