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 Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

Damn, given that the last one was so successful, lets have ANOTHER 4-6 day operational pause!

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - AP reports that U.S. forces are near the MoI and Al Rasheed hotel, but have NOT taken the buildings, yet.

[Fledermaus]

I'm 43 and paunchy...I could go through Vanderbilt's line

[MEG33]

It was personal.

[dfwgator]

We own the Iraqis just like the Gators own the Dawgs.

Hi 2J..If I don't sleep now, I'll be in trouble tomorrow..can't see how I could sleep, though.

Thanks everyone, for this thread.

[Timesink]

Georgia Bulldogs? Looks like the Green Bay Packers to me.

I no longer support this war. I'm a Jets fan. The Bush Regime has abandoned me. </sarcasm>

[Mo1]

Maybe FOX can go save them. Heh he heh....
