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...

greater baghdad to me means the outskirts.

[Timeout]

Lighter? That's odd. Dr. Bob has been east of Bdad the whole war. Was it live?

[bvw]

Traffic still pretty heavy on msnbc2 baggie. Dark -- all cars have lights, that's all you can see. Some honking, a brief car alarm. Thought I heard some french "tres bien".

[Jackie-O]

Just heard a report that B-dad officials are trying to blend with the civilian exodus...fleeing to Jordan and Syria.

[Petronski]

They claimed it was live.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I don't think the press has given enough attention to the heroes who rescued PFC Lynch and more importantly the troops who stayed behind and dug up our dead soldiers with their bare hands. We must never forget these men.....American soldiers with compassionate souls and fists of iron.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Where is Monsoor Ijaz ...???

[Carolina]

Just heard a report that B-dad officials are trying to blend with the civilian exodus...fleeing to Jordan and Syria.

I hope the Iraqis turn on them.

[Petronski]

He was on last night, or this morning, I'm not sure....it's all a blur.

[debg]

mansoor was on fox early this morning.

[Chemist_Geek]

A steep learning curve means something is easily learned. Time is conventionally graphed on the horizontal axis. If a great amount is learned in a short time, the line goes up steeply. If not much is learned over time, the slope is gradual.

Ah, but if one plots learning requirements, not volume learned, as a function of time and there is a great deal to learn very fast, then that would be a steep slope.

[Green]

after watching him and him saying they had to get back to the group, they were there in a humvee with no support backup,I'd say they were in the far far outskirts of
Baghdad and PMS was probably stretching it saying greater Baghdad.

[Carolina]

He was on last night, or this morning, I'm not sure....it's all a blur.

What did he say?

[pitinkie]

I do them but then again I am a nurse!

[Petronski]

I don't recall.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Thanks.

Yea-Yea-Yea :) What did he say...? :)

[Jackie-O]

Border patrols are beefing up, maybe they might nab a few trying to get into Jordan..but will disappear if the head into Syria.

[TigersEye]

"Yeah I'll be right there. I have to get a.....gun ...and a hat...or something. ...

Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. I need to get a hat. A nice new hat, with a silk hatband and maybe an ostrich feather. I'll be right there guys, just a little stop at Al-fedora's hat shop first.

[Carolina]

Heh, heh, heh, heh.

Baghdad Bob: They are lying. They are crushed. They are defeated. Saddamn Airport is under our control. They are under our pounding.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Was SkyNews guy on FN? Ack. Americans are learning about the power (and mischief) of the media.

One of the bright spots of the morning, Simon Marks wide-eyed enthusiasm at the discovery that Baghdad Bob has been lying. "Over in Baghdad they seem to be suffering from clouded judgement," Simon Marks startled that the Iraqi Info Min. reports have been, gasp, all fiction! (^:
