Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - 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 brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

That's weird .. CBS cam has "no service - video not running" at the bottom of the screen. No audio either. I've never seen that before. Anyone else have a live cam that's working?

[Diddle E. Squat]

Ha, Shep says he's got hundreds of e-mails asking if a memorial fund has been set up for Kent(the dead pigeon).

A not so subtle rip by the e-mailer at the media setting up a fund for David Bloom's family without setting up one for the fallen servicemen's families.

But to be fair, tonight O'Reilly announced a fund that had been set up for the military, so Bill O' made things right.

[Anamensis]

You changed the hair without warning the man first? You can't do that! It's like rearranging the furniture when you have a blind old cat in the house, it's just cruel. No surprises like that, that's bad!

Okay, and that pooch was asking for it. She knew when she left the house that she wasn't wearin' nothing but a collar.

[Fledermaus]

Bill announced it last night. Tonight he read e-mails about people about the fund.

[DaveManley]

Im sorry, im lost.... Who's Kent?

[STARWISE]

Thanks .. I have some trouble with that site. Which
cam is working?

[DaveManley]

LOL... Nevermind!!!

[JLS]

Yeah that is what I was talking about. Look at the map and see if you can see any way anything the US had could have hit the East side of that hotel?

CBS cam has "no service - video not running" at the bottom of the screen. No audio either.

Ditto. Odd

[golas1964]

Now that the minders are gone, no reason for the journalists to remain at the Palestine. Maybe their moving elsewhere? The Al-Rashid?

[Fledermaus]

I don't understand women. They all want hair they weren't born in. Color, style, etc.

My wife spent big money on straightening her hair. She finally bought some expensive tool and does it at home but spends an hour on it.

Now, when she doesn't want to mess with it, she let's her natural curls out for the day. And all women say to her, "ooh, what a nice perm, where did you get it". It's not a perm.

They are all paying as much money trying to get their hair to be like her natural hair and vice versa. Has to be a joke from God.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Kent was a Marine pigeon who was killed in action by a member of the Fedayeen Canine.

[SierraWasp]

"You know you're winning the war when you see Republican Guards running in their underwear!"

Here Here!!! Now...

Please, Mr. Commander In Chief... lay political waste to the Republican Guards of stupendous spending who are fighting your desperately needed tax cuts, in D.C.!!!

Monetary and Fiscal policy needs a "regime change" to be removed from power as exercised by the wretched Repellican Senators from ME, RI and OH!!!

It's time to get out the political MOAB and get these obstructionist dummies back in line. The nation's economy needs it NOW!!!

[Cate]

The hair was a surprise for him. It was not a good one to say the least.

If the dog was only wearing a collar, I guess she was asking for it. Plus she probably liked it :)

[Mo1]

Oh I question the whole thing the night/morning it happened .. but then when I heard that our guys admitted to it, I dropped it

[Cate]

What about wearing hair styles that our loved ones like? I have very long blond hair and would be happy to have it very short, but hubby won't hear of it. I managed a doctors office and we had a little girl who was going through brain cancer treatment who lost all her hair. She always liked my hair, so I had it cut to be made into a wig for her. My husband pouted, and they only cut 14 inches of it, it didn't take too long to regrow it. Guys are spoiled by us.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Gotta get ready for work.

Back in a while.

[JLS]

I agree and really do not want journalists to have any point of view. Journalist need to give us the facts but of course American journalists are naturally for American troops. Hard to figure where CNN, ABC, CBS get these unnatural journalists they have.

Thankfully FNC is bringing journalism back to fact based journalism.

BTW, to all I am not sure MOAB is worth the unbelieveable leftist whining that is would bring forth if we used it. It would need to be a target that was well suited for MOAB to be worth it.

[Fledermaus]

That makes sense. But in my situation, I have no say so...it's her hair, it's her money! lol

It's going to be what she wants. Sometimes, I grief her when it looks like a Hillary cut! I get stern looks.
