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...

Ha, what a lag that was. lol

Yes, I tried.

[Poser]

MSNBC has been saying they have it on good authority that Chemical Al was killed in a raid yesterday along with some other high level Iraqis.

[brydic1]

I read that they are muslim but a different breed of same. They have a more relaxed view of Islam

[AFPhys]

I lost it before I got there...when she said, "I am an American soldier too."

I don't see how anybody could read or hear this account and not lose it then. When I listened to the briefing this morning I lost it there, lost it when I thought about it an hour later in the car, lost it again three times when reading those words in this thread.

Never, ever, in my life have six words carried such impact.

Never in my life will hearing these words, or analogous words, be the same. Somehow, I think I'll be hearing them when I'm singing "God Bless America" and "The Stars Spangled Banner", too, and I expect to again lose it.

[Dog]

Cool....... thanks.

[TigersEye]

Kirk: Bones, what about Ensign Ali?
McCoy: He's dead again, Jim.

[TomGuy]

Hey, Achmed!!!

[retrokitten]

I hear ya.

I just popped in to see if I missed anything exciting. I guess all I missed was a bunch of cop cars.

I think I'm gonna go watch Cops and Americas Most Wanted. We just got back from going out to eat and I think I'm going to burst!

[Timeout]

I just heard MSNBC say Chemical Ali was killed in allied bombing. Is that right?

[Lauratealeaf]

I think doing medivac all day with severely injured and at least 1 or 2 dead young men would get to anyone.

For sure.

[Dog]

I am not sure...

[golas1964]

I don't believe that's a recent photo of Tony.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Right! Adding their total lack of knowledge of our present capability" (rant over) Thanks. (^;

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

> Chemical Ali is dead????

Chemical Ali is now Damnation Ali.

[fiesti]

bound to be the title of the movie they make about her...and yes chilling words of a true American soldier

[POGIFFMOO]

Reminds me of that Far Side cartoon of the dog hanging out the car window proudly announcing to everybody he passed that he was going to get 'tutored'!!!!!

[Jaded]

So all the bagcams are down? None of the connections I tried work. Maybe the RG took care of them so the rest of the world would believe their b/s.

We have puched the eeeenimie baack into the dasart. Our Repulican Guard forces have outted, no, routed the co-al-ee-shon.We will be bick-tor-eee-us.- Minister of Disinformation.

[Lauratealeaf]

Kirk: Bones, what about Ensign Ali?

McCoy: He's dead again, Jim.

Kirk: Bones, Ensign Ali is dead?

McCoy: That's what I said, Jim.

[GreyWolf]

I think Ollie gets up around 5:30am local time but Rick L. not up yet.

He is probably preparing for his weekend spot on Fox. He'll probably be on later, I'm not sure abvout the time.

[NTNgod]

Abu Dhabi shows a lot of shots of their cam, but it's pretty hard to make out anything.
