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...

She is going to be very busy though, just trying to decide which place hurts worse at any given time. Morphine will be her best friend for a couple of weeks.

Morphine is GOOD...

[Green]

hang on...I'll find a story about it and get you a link

[TigersEye]

BUt how about: "Democrats are soooo, like, 1960's!"

"Democrats are sooooo ... not in power!"

[cajungirl]

I have the feeling men might make her nervous for a while,,if they do go out, I suggest the guys insist she not bring her weapons along,,,just in case she gets spooked. She needs time before she dates. I keep rememberiing she is just 19,,so very young.

[Carolina]

Uniforms were probably pilfered from laundry by the hundreds in Kuwait. American and British.

The Iraqis were claiming that it's from the M1 tank that was taken out in the city center this morning.

Sky just showed a video of a Saddamn statue being toppled over in S. Iraq.

[MeekOneGOP]

I just had to get that plug in for FreeRepublic.com ! :O)

[cajungirl]

Green,,you are my link hero.

Just back. Simon Marks is the FoxNews - SkyNews (Brit) affiliate reporter based in Amman, Jordan. He's been regularly reporting Info Min. propaganda as "news" - seriously "concerned". (^:

[cajungirl]

I am going to make my hubby jealous by telling him the men on FR get me many more links than he could dream of. What use are diamonds when there is someone offering one links???

[no-s]

I remember telling my hubby, "there's one signal we can't tap electronically."

Although HUMINT is traditionally more effective at this sort of thing...But put a pair of cams on him and hook it up to a program derived from the likes of this.

Gesture Recognition is mostly focused on sign language, I bet flags are easier. Unfortunately "flag signal", "semaphore", etc are widely overloaded terms in computer hardware and software, I couldn't find a quick reference to any machine vision systems for flag recognition.

Oooooh, that gives me an idea...off to the arms races....

[Poser]

Baghdad Bob is the Man!

It takes a lot of grapes to go out in public and proclaim victory with a straight face. He's the most entertaining person on the planet right now. I look forward to his rants. He makes me laugh.

Somebody (sorry, I forget who) last night pointed out that he should start a rock band: Baghdad Bob and the Information Ministers

[TomGuy]

"Democrats are sooooo ... not in power!"

You apparently haven't kept up with the Estrada nomination in the Senate. The Democrats, though a minority, seem to be in power with their control over the neutered Republican majority.

[Carolina]

Baghdad Bob and the Information Ministers

And their first hit: We are the Champions!

[Petronski]

Steve Forbes on Fox:

Postwar, France should go to the derriere. The new Iraq should tell Russia we will treat the Ba'athist debts to Russia just as Russia treated the Czarist debts to the world, and since the French loved buying Czarist bonds, they will understand.

[Socratic]

You're right. The imposed demand to learn a lot in a short time would, indeed, make it more dificult.

[Cultural Jihad]

Thanks Jihad, sometimes revert to screenplay format.

Baath thugs, exit stage left! ;)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Fog of war...one reporter at a time.

The rest we'll mock. (^;
