Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - 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 breif description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

That's pretty much been their aim throughout the war.

Think that fire truck is worth a J-Dam?

What did CNN say about the Arnett clip??

[CheneyChick]

Arnett just ruined whatever flimsy career he had.

[condi2008]

Thanks; Glad I didn't lose any sleep over it.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I wonder why their apartments (of the RG according to the FN reporter) have those huge numbers labeling them.....40 and 42 in the distance?

[POGIFFMOO]

Might be Saddam's collection of Dixie Chick CD's

[econprof]

Arnett needs a good nickname like Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally or Lord Haw-Haw. Arnett is a Despicable Weasel.

How about Benedict Arnett?

[CheneyChick]

ROFLMAO!

HE IS SUCH A TRAITOR, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME BACK TO THE U.S. WITHOUT BEING PUT ON TRIAL!

What did CNN say about the Arnett clip??

That the interview was given in the presence of Iraqi military personnel - that it was an iterview to Iraq TV, for their benefit. They also noted that Arnett did not work for CNN, but for National Geographic and NBC. In short, they didn't say anything disparaging about the content, but did give it their air time.

[Timeout]

Benedict Arnett....Purrrrrfect! I love it!

[mhking]

This is a new bombing...

[mware]

Do you have the phone number to MSNBC? I want to give them a call too.

[POGIFFMOO]

That's the score you get, sorta like a dartboard.....degree of difficulty.

Here's the address from the "Comments" link at the bottom of his NGS reports page:

newsdesk@nationalgeographic.com NEEDS TO BE REPEATED. FREEPED!

[glock rocks]

Benedict Arnett

i like it.

[Cboldt]

Lester Holt on MSNBC was showing a picture of himself in front of that Baghdad building with the big "40" on it. Close to ministry of information.

Peter Arnett of National Geographic Soc makes me SICK and P*** !!!!!!
