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.

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:

That's the spotlight to illuminate him for the interview.

[Daniel Ramsey]

My som has an X-BOX video game its MECH ASSAULT, it takes place on "The World of Blake" and it has these giant robots, technicals, troops with RPG type weapons, taxis armed and its just like that game the way I see these cars ramming tanks, SUV's attacking etc, its weird even trying to compare this but still I thought to mention it.

[CasearianDaoist]

Just like Goebbels.

[Dead Corpse]

Camera light. Suns going down

HOLLY: They're dead, Dave.
LISTER: Who is?
HOLLY: Everybody, Dave.
LISTER: What, Captain Hollister?
HOLLY: Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: What, Todhunter?
HOLLY: Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: What, Selby?
HOLLY: They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.

12 Int. Corridor.

LISTER is still trying to understand what HOLLY is saying.

LISTER: Petersen isn't, is he?
HOLLY: Everybody is *dead*, Dave.
LISTER: Not Chen?
HOLLY: Gordon Bennett! Yes! Chen, everybody. Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: Rimmer?
HOLLY: He's dead, Dave. Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead, Dave!
LISTER: Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
HOLLY: I wish I'd never let him out in the first place.

looks like an old film mark!

Not only is the traffic picking up but there is a lot of horn honking almost like someone got married here in the States. Interestingly, there also was a lot of chanting in unison about something. There is a reported who is speaking in Arabic (I assume). Unfortunately, I can't understand any of it. Anyone figure out what's going on here?

[thedugal]

He's speaking Spanish not Arabic

Now you've done it! My boys read this thread. They'll be wanting that game.

[Mrs.Liberty]

i think it is the light from the camera he is standing next to.

[Dead Corpse]

Sounds similar to what they were chanting yesterday on that video of Saddams double taking a stroll. Same cadence at least.

[cajungirl]

Yeah,,there is something glowing sticking out too,,is it a boom to pick up noise. His shirt looks flourescent. Nite falling, still everyone driving around like it is saturday nite. Gee I have to do things today, errands, I haven't paid my taxes yet, havent done quarterlies this year, the govt is gonna fine me like crazy.

[bvw]

Darkness falls on Baghdad, headlights are on, traffic drooped off, many horns -- I thinks the reporter is Mexican. Msnbc2 baggie.

[Carolina]

Sky showing Greg Kelley video now with audio. They had some Iraqi peacenik with a voiceover. Thank heavens for mute.

[Mrs.Liberty]

it's Saddamn's goons rallying the troops, so to speak. They showed a video of people waving rifles and one guy was even waving a pipe right there in the traffic circle.

A crack pipe?

[Timeout]

Sheesh. Eleanor Clift just said this isn't going so great after all.

"There are going to be a LOT more incidents of terrorism in the U.S. in the next year than there were in the last year."

So, let's see, Eleanor. MORE incidents of terrorism would be exactly= ONE? Best I can recall, we haven't had any terror acts in the last year.

[dighton]

... lying Iraqi dude on tv ...

Joe Jihad Isuzu.

[Carolina]

A crack pipe?

LOLOLOLOL!

[Petronski]

Bob Arnot live on streets of Baghdad speaking Arabic with kids.

[bvw]

I'm gonna keep my eyesd peeled for the 1.326 MM AA -- tonite -- that's the bb guns!
