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!

I heard that!
MIke GAllagher was saying yesterday how we could learn to loot politely like the Iraqis' and that looting makes them feel more like americans

my shift key is still sticky

[Fledermaus]

A GOP run Congress that pushed the extra money helped too.

To think we barely spend $400 billion on a direct responsibility outlined in the Constitution while we waste 3 times that on failed social programs.

Amazing.

[amom]

laugh, drive and swerve all at once.

LOL Now that inspires a great visual.

From the NTV "Cam-on-the-green". There's been a bit of pounding on metal for awhile and now some voices. Backyard mechanics already?

[cgk]

My dad told me this one tonight:

"Did you hear they're going to cancel the French Open this year? ... Yep, they have a lot of rackets, but no balls."

:)

[SoldiersGirl]

let my mom in the Govt...she could feed a country of 10,000 on 2lbs of hamburg and some bread crumbs.

[Fledermaus]

That reminds me of my high school days when I drove and my girlfriend like to ....nevermind.

[Fledermaus]

rofl...I hear that!

[SoldiersGirl]

and I"m sure you didn't mind when she neverminded

[Ymani Cricket]

CNN now showing it. wow. Going to interview an Iraqi ex-soldier in a minute.

[Fledermaus]

she was a great neverminder

[TheLion]

Very good point! That is the right way to look at it. Bush did inherit Clinton's Army and it took two years to get it up and ready!

[NormsRevenge]

First to Fight, First to Die

[SoldiersGirl]

on that note..I'm going to bed
maybe my flat whisk will come in the mail tomorrow.

[Brad’s Gramma]

You are sooooooooo bad!

[Fledermaus]

you ordered a whiskey flask? oh, flat whisk! (drool, Belly Girl)

[amom]

LOLOL very good.

I think I'll collect these up and share em with the cubicle bound at work tomorrow.

[LauraJean]

time for me go to bed (but I'm not tired) see you later

[amom]

OK Kiddo...nite nite.

This was in Early April:

About 30 minutes into the show, Letterman introduced 10 men and women at Elmendorf Air Force Base to recite the evening's "Top Ten" list.

Top Ten Cool Things About Being Stationed In Alaska

10. "Thanks to soft, snowy ground, no push-ups!" (recited by Airman First Class Nick Schulte)

9. "Don't have to worry about sunscreen like those suckers stationed in Hawaii." (Senior Airman Amanda Baldwin)

8. "Our state-of-the-art surveillance equipment makes salmon fishing a snap." (Staff Sgt. Richard Canady)

7. "When the days get really short, we only put in a 45-minute work week." (Staff Sgt. Candra Maita)

6. "One of the senior airmen is a moose." (Master Sgt. Kevin Barry)

5. "Can't taste mess hall food when your tongue is frozen solid." (Senior Master Sgt. Eric Stenerson)

4. "On weekends, can take advantage of Nome's crazy nightlife." (Canadian Air Force Warrant Officer Vimy Trevors)

3. "The government provides mittens." (First Lt. Carrie Howard)

2. "If you want baked Alaska, just order 'baked here.'" (Capt. Derek Sellnow)

1. "Daily schedule: one hour doing Air Force stuff; nine hours snowboarding." (Lt. Col. Mark Nakanishi, the squadron commander).
