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...

Lynn Bahemi of CNN says that people in the middle of Iraq say that they see no U.S. troops or vehicles.

[piasa]

Speaking of Italians...Maybe Bagdhad Bob is waking up this morning with a Fedeyeen's head in his bed - courtesey the special forces. A fitting thing for a bunch of Godfather afficionados.

[Young Rhino]

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

Will the U.S. military have to treat CNN journalists as POWs with rights under the Geneva Convention or can they be executed on the spot as terrorists?

[Franking]

This is looking like a loop now, on CBS cam. I just saw a very familiar fuel tanker and the same hores-and-buggy from 10 mins ago. There can't be two of those running around....?

F

[Diddle E. Squat]

Let 'em flee north. They are heading right into the area that the Kurds are about to take. Since its the Kurds and not US forces, its more likely that 'justice' will be dispensed.

[HarryCaul]

...."american tanks"..."hearts and minds"..."center of baghdad"...

Filing a report I suppose.

[unspun]

Lynn Bahemi of CNN says that people in the middle of Iraq say that they see no U.S. troops or vehicles.

Shows how fast we are -- they can't even see us.

[TheLion]

CNN has become so UN like....like watching another country give our news.

[Howlin]

I thought they would surround them and wait.

[MEG33]

I cherish that thought.

[Drago]

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

You got it...my guess would be that our forces would stay off this particular road, and use the 4 lane east about 4 blocks, near "Shaab Stadium". Might make a special detour for the Saddam statue tho. ;-)

[bonfire]

On the Baghdad Camera 4 live feed they are speaking FRENCH!!!! What the hell are they doing there??

[Chummy]

Did the Iraqis see the stealth fighter-bombers and bombers striking? Did they see the results?

[Texas Tea]

Not a loop, watch the pedestrians

[Mo1]

To surrender ??

[Tree of Liberty]

Selling Saddam surface-to-surface missiles.

[Pro-Bush]

Anyone else like the MSNBC babe?

[TheLion]

Wish Fox would just roll with that convoy. These media people don't know when they have a winner.

[piasa]

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

Jackasses spinning in circles...

Reminds me of Kerry and Daschle.

[TexKat]
