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...

Save the Christi Lane commercial for the really hard to break generals. "Footsteps In The Snow" and "I Believe in Angels" should put 'em over the top.
BTW, how the hell did she rope Barry Sadler into hyping her? I wonder if he knew her in country?
"One tactic is to broadcast recorded "tank noises" and fool the Iraqis into believing a military formation is heading their way.
"Speakers mounted on Land Rovers play the sound of Challenger 2 tanks at ear splitting volumes.
"On one occasion, the recording forced three Iraqi mobile artillery units with mortars—hidden behind a concrete hut—into making a retreat. The units were immediately exposed to a barrage of fire from British artillery."
As I've posted for months now (but I know not every one has heard): I've known a bit more than a dozen Iraqis in my life. They were all extremely upset about the conditions in Iraq, and hoped for liberation. The last girl I knew was here getting an advanced Physics degree. Her family was hostage: if she didn't do well and return to Iraq, they were to be executed. There was no doubt of the veracity of the threat. Others I know managed to escape with their whole immediate family. The extended family was tortured and killed. The brutality of this regime has been known to all those who would explore a bit and listen. That the world has dealt with this brutality in such a cowardly manner is despicably shameful.
