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...

Somebody needs a Speel checker!

"It does not pay to snooze in an Iraqi tank."

I don't think it pays to be in an Iraqi tank...period!

[Tree of Liberty]

I didn't catch the latter part of the report, but I think it was about war crimes from '91. Maybe Kuwaiti MIA's?

[unspun]

The electronic letter to editors of Newsweek, that I just sent...

To Christopher Dickey and the rest of the blame-America-whiners, at Newsweek:

You must be feeling pretty stupid by now. (I hope you do, or you may be beyond hope.) The best way to try to rebuild your reputation may be to start with an apology for your recent disgraceful performance. You virtually aided and abetted the enemy's own propaganda campaign. It's not that I've read anything in Newsweek. I don't read it. I'm speaking of Christopher Dickey's interview with Aaron Brown a week ago. It might have been with the Iraqi "Minister of Information," for the perversion of reality that it was.

Try that apology idea. You'll probably find America forgiving. You're fotunate to live here, or you would be in prison.

Regards, Arlen Williams

Did anyone see the pre-recorded loop on NTV Bagdad cam... apparently the sirens were for a official group headed for a press breifing..... and these are their finest.....

[Tree of Liberty]

Hey, I got one, jess dont alwys use it :P

[bonfire]

looks like night in Baghdad with all the smoke.

[wolficatZ]

NTV cuts to raw feeds every so often on it's satellite uplink, closeups of everything we've seen on cam, the Irat Patrol motorcycle, the towed 130mm, the siren Baghdad 500 pace car, etc etc.We see them here before they are broadcast anywhere else. Check Reuter's Raw feedroom for these clips later. http://reuters.feedroom.com

[Mo1]

But I don't want to miss seeing our tanks on the Bag Cam!

For some reason, I think I'll feel better once I see them .. right now I'm afraid to breath

[Chummy]

You mean that could have been Baghdad Boob himself driving by? And he didn't wave?

We all could have given him the Hollywood Howdy.

[bonfire]

I just drank a pot of coffee and my heart is racing.

[Tree of Liberty]

I think there's extra contrast in the web-cams for some reason. Sky still looks relatively blue on Fox when they go to their Bag-cam.

[Fledermaus]

I'm as excited as a little girrrrlll.

[bonfire]

OMG, the French person on the roof just said, OO LA LA!

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Greg Kelly is on live

[Franking]

Guess I'm wrong -- they're not celebrating liberated Iraqis. From the look of the Reuters tape, it was all the guys, cars and AK-s they could scrape up, driving around waving guns for the cameras.

F

[TheLion]

The smoke was to keep us from bombing the p*** out of them.

[Mo1]

No I didn't see that

Greg Kelly is on FNC

[Howlin]

Look at Fox now......Greg Kelly's videos of the 3rd ID.......going under those arches!

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

Fox - Greg Kelly is on live

They should ask him if the Iraqis have the airport like Baghdad Bob claims. See how loud he laughs.
