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...

RC, still searching for the e-mail addy. The homepage has a pop-up feedback form.

[Catspaw]

You know, there's a lot of talk about Nazis, but these guys seem worse. Can any historians out there remember a case where soldiers forced citizens of their own nation out in front of them to die?

Sure. In Israel. Hamas (big supporters of Saddam), Islamic Jihad, Yasser Arafat's al Aqsa's Martyr's Brigade, Fatah, PFLP....the list is endless. The techniques of the fedayeen are taken from their playbook.

[glock rocks]

Tony Snow says the bomb landed 1000 meters from the palestine hotel where, if his memory serves him, the camera is located.

[aloysius89]

thanks, I forgot.

[Carolina]

Remember this when Ol' B Bob reports a destroyed tank. I work with a guy who used to build these things and our M1A1's can't take out our M1A1's with a tank round.

Yeah, they've been showing Iraqis dancing jubilantly on top of it. BBob has been claiming victory over the Americans. They even waved around an American uniform complete with name tag and rank.

[MeekOneGOP]

Re Major Bob's Mom watching: LOL! I saw/heard that too.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

2885. Did 2885? I needed it ya know...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Sigh. This world trade stuff is complicated.

[Carolina]

Aaaak, must really get going. Leaving is soooo hard.

[AppyPappy]

I saw a guy frag it.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Cya later...

[golas1964]

Tony Snow keeps saying the BagCams are still at the Information Ministry. But I thought the cams all got moved to the Palestine Hotel. I understand the Palestine is located east of the Tigris River, right where the river takes a sharp bend around the presidential palace compound on the west bank of the Tigris. The cams are pointed toward the east-southeast, so they really don't show us the really interesting stuff. (probably at the behest of the Iraqi minders)

[aloysius89]

I keep thinking of these fellas as soldiers and they are to a certain extent agents of their gov't. To do this to your own people is insane and nearly unheard of in "warfare" as opposed to terrorism. My point I suppose is that why don't the RATS and other useful idiots and fellow travelers comprehend the horror of this approach. I cannot comprehend their incomprehension.

[pitinkie]

Me too thats why I thought it was the same reporter..til the guys here posted her pic. Oh well..

[Poser]

The Al-Jazeera news babe is hot!

[TomGuy]

Tony Snow keeps saying the BagCams are still at the Information Ministry. But I thought the cams all got moved to the Palestine Hotel.

I think they were moved. The IM building experienced sudden "instability" for some reason [snicker].

[cebadams]

CBS Baghdad webcam now live from U.S. prepping for something.

[aloysius89]

What? I'm a relative newbie. Did I do something ilkulturny?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Good thinking. The NY Times is being exposed on TV today. (^: Should we thank Baghdad Bob?

[pitinkie]

Hey I am a WOMAN!!!!!!
