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!

No, you're right.

Isn't he the same guy who pronounces "cordon" as "kor-dahn" rather than "kor-d'n"?

From my e-mail (URBAN LEGEND WARNING!!)

"Prob a bit of exaggeration to this story, but ya gotta love it."

"To nobody's surprise there were protestors today in DC, they attempted to disrupt the metro system and block the Key Bridge, a leading artery into DC from Northern Virginia. I got hosed twice because I come in from NoVA on the Metro and it is raining hard which makes traffic worse
anyway...to the point--"

"I got off my train in Rosslyn because I had to use the bathroom. When I was getting back on the train, there were protestors on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young
(20ish) female protestor offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protestor put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, "Ma'am, don't you care about the children of Iraq?" The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II so you could
have the right to stand here and bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your a** and open it."

One of the members of the company said "we might gather up a couple feathers, but don't know about the body. It must be on the deck somewhere around here"

It was a great morning.When I saw the first tank on the cam..it was the beginning of a tense time until it was clear there were going to be no RPGs fired ! The statue head being pulled down the street with a kid beating it with his shoe..priceless.

When they stopped teaching Phonics, spelling and pronunciation went down the tubes.

In all seriousness, they do need to get a replacement pigeon, right? Don't they use them to check for the bio/chem agents?

Y'all keep good notes. Put a summary of the day's events at the end of the thread, so I can learn what I missed, at a glance. Will be away for at least the day.

Thanks for the fish.
