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!

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

My elderly neighbor always chases the boy ducks off the girl ducks, she uses a broom.

Do the ducks duck?

[STARWISE]

CBS Cam is back up .. and ladies and gentlemen: this could
be Achmed .. right here!!

[Cate]

My neighbor is a bit touched. Her rational is that its cruel that 4 or 5 boys go after each girl duck. Trying to justify this is a huge waste of time. I figure as long as they pick up their cigarette butts afterward, go for it, they seem pretty dang happy to me. Plus the baby ducks are really cool to watch in the water. The moms kinda put them on parade.

[umbagi]

Are you speaking from experience with skunks and dogs?

Lots of it, unfortunately :-). Tomato juice and vinegar works as well as anything...

OTOH, we had a Catahoula that made great sport of them, and never once got "hit" -- he'd learned (before we got him) to come in from the side, hit the tail with the right front paw, and crunch the ribs with the first chomp. I saw him do it twice. He wasn't a house pet -- best danged cow dog I ever saw.

[Cate]

bbbbbbbbbbbbbahhhaaaa....

[Tree of Liberty]

OOOoooooo, Miss Dhue's talkin' dirty

[sheikdetailfeather]

Who is Achmed?

[Diddle E. Squat]

OK, I am sorry to inject some reality here, but Laurie Dhue is about the weakest link on Fox when it comes to interviewing.

And where has she been the last 3 weeks, asking Greg Kelly just now where the 3rd ID is heading in the next operation.

[STARWISE]

A couple more pops, and there is activity by the palm tree.

[Consort]

Bill Maher is a political whore who has been apologizing to the Liberals ever since he admitted he voted for Nader instead of for Gore. He even pretends to be a Libertarian. He is the male version of Arianna.

[Cate]

Thats incredible.. I've never been blessed with 'skunk gifted' animals.

[socal_parrot]

That guy has some sort of credentials on, probably a reporter. Achmed don't need no stinkin' credentials!

[spectr17]

Laurie Dhue also makes some bizzarro faces.

[Tree of Liberty]

Broken clocks...

[umbagi]

OOOoooooo, Miss Dhue's talkin' dirty

Shudder, shudder, gasp!
Pant, pant, wheeze...

But yeah, paybacks are like that!

[JLS]

Maher does not impress me at all either. I am not a big fan of Miller either. As far as I can tell, he went on MNF for two years and discovered the rest of the people think alot different than the elites and is now playing to the public?

[TheLion]

Must not be many male ducks around!

[Tree of Liberty]

ROFL! try---ing to hold ---back

[Consort]

Achmed is the web cam operator on the roof of the Palestine Hotel on Firdos Square, Baghdad.
