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...

LOL I think you guys have invented a new form of haiku. Oughta call it McCoyku.

[Catspaw]

Jim Mik on MSNBC is showing night vision film of the raid on Chemical Ali's house. He said they used 500 lb. laser-guided bombs. He said Chemical Ali, Saddam's cousin, was killed--also says other top party officials were killed as well.

[Poser]

Re: Republican Guard

We're not softenin' them up, we're killin' 'em.

I sure like listening to that tape.

[Tree of Liberty]

I wonder if that was where that Air Force release came from yesterday where they said "We are currently killing the top Iraqi leadership"

[glock rocks]

the foghorn sound could be the gattling gun on an A-10. we heard plenty of them last night.

i thought i heard one at about the time my wife asked me if i want anything from the store... uh, yah. food. milk. food. coffee. chocolate. oh, and food. here's money. don't forget some food.

[nicmarlo]

He said Chemical Ali, Saddam's cousin, was killed--also says other top party officials were killed as well.

Yee haw!!!!

[Catspaw]

I'd choose a couple different body parts

Well, yes...but how can you get a rope around something so tiny?

Jim Mik is saying they dropped 3 500 lb. bombs on Chemical Ali.

Kirk: What about Ensign Steps?
Bones: He's tread Jim!

[Consort]

[CWW]

Kirk" What about Ensign Taylor (former basketball pro)?
Bones: He's keds, Jim.

[TexKat]

Is anyone watching the basketball tournament? If so, have they showed our troops in Kuwait yet?

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL, well there's always fish hooks

[Redcloak]

Wearing the red shirt
It's always an ill omen
Said Bones, "He's dead Jim."

[null and void]

McCoyku. Works for me...

[Catspaw]

I wonder if that was where that Air Force release came from yesterday where they said "We are currently killing the top Iraqi leadership"

I hope so.

I'm still trying to get over his avocado-colored john at his house near Basra.

[Catspaw]

I was watching the game, but, being a Marquette fan, it's too painful for me.

[golas1964]

Put some thick-lense glasses and a black beret on this guy, and he'd look just like Saddam! Hmm...

[Texas Tea]

My microwave is about 6 steps away from me and I have popcorn, stuffed jalapeno's, chips, drinks, pretzels, and a few other things right on the counter top, ready for consumption during tonights watch.

[poindexter]

Those two are slightly to the north of being "Boys"! ;-)
