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 and keep it running, 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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

I did, too. It looked like another "cherry picker", a lift with a bucket.

OK I think I have the location of the CBS cam now...thanks for the tip on the Istar Sheraton Hotel...if you use this map (requires Adobe Acrobat .PDF viewer):
http://www.stripes.com/02/dec02/baghdad.pdf
Look near the Tigris before big loop in river, across from "Tashri". Istar Sheraton is there, a mosque, and a Saddam statue...gotta be it...map says "Firdoa Square".

Was wondering that myself, will Baghdad Bob make an appearance today or NOT??

It will be real annoying if we find out he's been taping everything in Tikrit and not Baghdad.

Or worse, Damascus!

The rats are leaving the ship though- lots of people fleeing with suitcases full of money.

Sounds like the horn-honkin', flag-wavin' nasties are not too far off. Keep an eye peeled for anything they may have on the roofs of their vehicles.
