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:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running over the weekend and Monday, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Saddam stays alive by driving taxi at night....moving target and he blends in. :)

Yup, I'll bet he has a few more skid marks in the ol' skivies tonight.

I'm going to an antiques auction. I'll be back sometime around post 4500. Stay safe.

The Minister of Disinformation is my personal favorite. He's like an old school WWF wrestler. Always bashing the enemy, making outrageous claims, and assusing us that the U.S. is evil, infidels, or idiots. I missed him. He hasn't been doing his daily comical breifing lately. I thought Saddam took a gun to his head or he got his when Must See Habib TV (aka Iraqi TV) got taken off the air.

Iraqi command will have to go to 'carrier camel'.

[CheneyChick]

Good analogy!

[mhking]

I can't believe there are people actually driving on the streets during all this.

Cab drivers; practicing for jobs in the states when this is all over.

I am on the mmsnbc one and I hear no booms

[r9etb]

And then a BIGGER ONE!

Thought I heard some breaking glass, too.

[Severa]

Geez I'm missing out...what channel is everyone on?

[Cboldt]

Glad you remembered that Clinton claimed that because he had weakened Iraq we would not see much resistance

Hmmmmm ... So, the reason this is NOT a cakewalk, is that Clinton hadn't really accomplished what he claimed.

If my theory is correct, then we go back and bomb again and again!

[chnsmok]

He just circles that intersection we are watching.

Do you remember the Sheik WWF Wrestler? That guy would be perfect today...

[Semper Paratus]

He's like an old school WWF wrestler.

He's no match for "The Sheik".

[irishfest]

Are there any other live feeds other than the MSNBC one?
Thanks!

[CheneyChick]

I really wanna see that building implode, ala Las-Vegas-destroy-and-rebuild-a-casino style...

I can't believe there are people actually driving on the streets during all this.

I know! They've never stopped.
