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 think the Ministry of Disinformation, Ali Baba TV etc believes we run a media BS campaign on tv like they do....hence their whole denial mentality.

[Fledermaus]

Sort of like when Democrats lose elections and call them a victory.

[atomic conspiracy]

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

I saw a jackass pulling a cart around the circle a little earlier. Does that count?

[Franking]

Right, camera looks to be on a balcony of the "Palestine Meridian" hotel. pointed SE across the rotary....

F

[nicmarlo]

For a good laugh check CNN.

Yep, from what I hear, they're still Al Jazeera West.

[Chummy]

Good map, Drago! Yep, that's gotta be it. That UTex map didn't show this "square".

[piasa]

Or perhaps they see fine and their only problem is the need a little less weed in their waterpipes.

CNN says there is much confusion in the capital, rumors and so on but so far they say they haven't seen US troops yet

[Mo1]

Oh this BIMBO from sky news showed a clip of the iraqi pulling the artillary their the streets and TRIED to say it was a captured american gun .. the guy next to her basically .. NOT A CHANCE .. that it was with out a doubt an Iraqi gun being towed

Another guy is saying those guns were heading south

[Fledermaus]

That's because the UTex map shows the future, after it's gone! lol

[bonfire]

Baghdad cam 4 has CNN live feed with different view.

[HarryCaul]

Definitely a British guy talking in the background of cbscam. Still can't follow the words though :-/

[seeker41]

I caught that too, wishful thinking on their part.

[MadIvan]

Iraq is done. This is all over but for the shouting.

Regards, Ivan

[TheLion]

I was just thinking that these guys should have bullet proof plastic around them while they are sitting atop those fighting vehicles. They are exposed for snipers.

Maybe a modification for urban warfare.

[goldstategop]

The Tigris the 21st century's river of denial.

[Fledermaus]

He said, "are you sure you don't have any tea my good man?"

[bootyist-monk]

When we heard CentCom say that the city would fall from the inside out, this is what they must have had in mind. Everyone assumed that it meant some sort of coup, not armored divisions punching into the center. Amazing.

[seeker41]

Donkey cart Alert-just went around the bend.

[mercy]

The first tank to roll up to CNN camera position should run over it. "Can you see me now?"

[Chummy]

..just did a compare..the UTex map omits some -- there goes the horse 'n cart again, and now there's the horse's Saddam -- the UTex map omits the side roads at the rotary.
