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...

MSNBC works better than CBS with a modem

[Green]

Greg was on live with Shep last night as they were entering Baghdad...there were quite a few times where his broadcast was anything but calm

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Dude, where are ya at? I've got 20 Degrees (F) in my yars 40 miles north of Minneapolis...

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

He looks like a target of opportunity to me.......take him out

[AppyPappy]

Traffic is REALLY picking up. Bombing or artillery sounds.

[TigersEye]

I thought I noticed a correlation between increased horn honking and bombing too.

[Mrs.Liberty]

CBS Newcam...whose the guy in the plaid?

[heckler]

Uniform had a name tag?

There were reports before the war started that Saddam was buying U.S. uniforms complete to the last detail. The fear was that his soldiers would start killing civilians and blame it on our troops, but a name tag??

[AppyPappy]

Supposed to get to 70 here in the hills.

Good mooooorning Situation Room! Great story from the ball park LForD01.

MSNBC has this footage they've been showing about a HUGE armory that's been found SW (Ithink) of Baghdad. They are astounded at the amount of munition there.

The most compelling part of this story though, was discovering munitions that have had plugs put into the ends of them, supposedly for refilling them with things other than the standard explosive usually applied

AND a cannister that had Russian markings and THREE plugs in the end along with a hose nozzle attachment. David Kay, prior UN inspector says although he hasn't seen anything quite like it before, its' obviously for instilling binary components and the nozzle for spray distribution of such agents.

Pretty incredible. Maybe others have seen this report too.

FoxNews...Cavuto is the host. Guests include Eleanor Clift. Eleanor sure doesn't look very happy this morning.

[Petronski]

Plus, the sun set about five minutes ago. Time for bom-bing soon.

[debg]

baghdad bob on cnn saying we are not in baghdad...we are lying.

[Carolina]

Uniform had a name tag?

Yes.

[null and void]

Dam Abrams wants Arnot.....to prove they are in BAG......LOL!

Dam Abrams? Did you mean Dumb Abrams???

[Timeout]

Booms are starting. Last night we heard booms for about 2 hours before "boots in Baghdad" started.
_______________

J of A, we don't want to bomb Ahmed. We are eternally grateful that he's tended our webcams for us during what must have been some pretty scary times.

[Poser]

I'm in the Live Free or Die State. New Hampshire. It's 26f. We had a foot of snow and now we're getting freezing rain.

What the heck is somebody with your name doing in Minnesota?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

AArgh...

I just bought a new Boat and am itchin' like mad to get it out !!!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Baghdad Bob on CNN is tooooooooooo funny!

[Carolina]
