When Tikrit falls is that the end of the live thread?

Pro'lly not; the war itself ain't over - I'd guess that the live thread will stick around in some form for awhile. Once other news begins to overshadown the war, I'd figure the live thread will begin to dwindle somewhat in terms of size and "importance".

Live threads tend to pop up for all sorts of breaking events. If you've become addicted to FR, there's plenty to occupy your time once things on the war front die down.

Our first two cleveland young men will be buried tomorrow.. A rather liberal jouranalist made the great (shock, shock) suggestion of support by lining streets around church & cemet. with Flag waving supporters.

I will do that. Please do the same in your area

Both are at same time .. I will go to the funeral of the young black man. Both were found in grave where Jessica Lynch was rescued
