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...

Has anyone seen the Combover lately?

Morning all. Dang, we're smoking thru these posts today.

All I know is we have a lot of special ops in Iraq. I think they are doing unseen acts in Baghdad...out of sight of the hapless press.

I'm just waiting for them to pop into one of Bagdad Bob's press conferences. I can just hear him try to explain, "No, they're not really here, it's an illusion, pay no attention to them, those miserable people are trying to fool you all......" (sound fading away as our SpecOps guys carry him down the hall) What a great piece of video that would be!!!

The Iraqi propaganda machine needs some help from Carville and the rest of the DemoRat organization to spin (lie) a bit more adroitly. Our leftists are superb at that ability. But to maintain that the US Forces are not in Baghdad while at the same time on a split screen the TV audiences throughout the world are watching our forces roaming thru Baghdad and occuping their airport is just a little over the top and not quite up to DemoRat standards

[WSGilcrest]

You too, eh? Did you d/l that .pdf map that was posted last night? --> http://www.stripes.com/02/dec02/baghdad.pdf

Tony Snow says Lynch family presser in a few minutes (~1:30 est)

Thanks. That's a better view of the area than the map from the University of Texas site.

I like that cute little Saddam statue in the circle.

I think it was Shep last nite on FoxNews who said we have something like 10,000 special ops in Iraq. I agree--they are (and have been for months) doing things....

04/05/2003 U.S. forces move into Baghdad CHERYL DIAZ MEYER / DMN A U.S. Marine guards an intersection today on the outskirts of Baghdad. U.S. armored vehicles drove through Baghdad today, smashing through Iraq's Republican Guard to reach - at least briefly - the ultimate destination of their two-week surge across southern Iraq. Other developments: • Coalition flying 24-hour missions over Baghdad • Marines engage non-Iraqi pro-Saddam volunteers • Coalition strikes Basra residence of "Chemical Ali"

[Howlin]

No! Man, that is a great one!

Hmm.......I'll be busy for a while! Back when I'm done playing!

I don't know why the categorize it as at least briefly. Methinks the Dallas MoUrning News' bias is showing !

We're THERE ! . . .
