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...

I was bored with Bourne..maybe cause I read the book?

[Nefertiti]

of course /remembers to turn sarcasm button on this time

Nefertiti

[aloysius89]

...a made-for-TV movie...

My sentiments exactly. I tried composing a post on this earlier but gave up in frustration at the thought of how hollywood would twist the complexity of war into some tidy little homily on all the latest PC thought.

[pitinkie]

No must see Vin Diesel..actually its my friend that looves him.

[bvw]

In the Sahara during the North Africa Campaign the Brits (me late neighbor being one of them) would have the bagpipers pipe during the dark of night. They usually could get the Italians to run, and even sometimes of the Germans. Imagine being holed up in the bleak desert and hearing the pipes wailing away.

Another thing he said they would do is to sleep buried in the sands during the day, breathing thru tubes. The sand kept them cool and hidden. So he said.

[melodie]

somethings up and we cant see it!!!!......cbs doesn't even have the link to bag tv on their web site anymore

[pitinkie]

LOL! Priceless.

[Tree of Liberty]

[nicmarlo]

I read the book, but that was years ago....so I quite forgot the entire thing, lol. I think I've had "sometimers" come on between the book and the movie.....

[Timeout]

You know they know

Excellent point!

If none of the cable nets is reporting that the cam is down, then they must've been told to keep mum. You KNOW they would've reported it.

Hmmmmmm. That means it was taken down by our side, don't ya think?

What was it that Iraqi guy said at the airport yesterday? "We went to bed and, when we woke up, we said 'where did all the Americans come from?'.

Anyone heard any reference to the nets' BagCams being down?

[pitinkie]

I know. I am debasing myself and watching Iraqi and Yabba Dabba DooDoo TV.

[ztiworoh]

Next time we see baghdad, Tommy Franks is standing in the roundabout making a speech to the newly liberated Iraqis

ROTF!

[RightWhale]

hollywood would twist the complexity of war into some tidy little homily on all the latest PC thought.

Hollywood will get a lot of material from the press, where every armed interaction in Iraq has become a morality play in itself.

[pitinkie]

I love all those books.

[Inspectorette]

HA! I'm waiting for THE WHISK to be sold at Linens and Things. I'm not about to order it from the infomercial - they try to get you to sign up for a life-long commitment to their "Special Shopper's Service" - this causes you to be indebted to them for the rest of your natural life, and you also have to sign over the deed to your house, the title on your car, your 401K, as well as birthrights to your children and grandchildren who become indentured servents.

[Tree of Liberty]

FNC hasn't said a word.

[Poser]

Hollywood will make some Iraqi family (fatherless of course) the heros. Both Iraqi and US troops will be the bad guys.
