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...

[BagCamAddict]

Maybe that was the sweet sound of the regime "exploding" from within

Nope, just another couple of our NOISE BOMBS. Nothing to worry about.

[Texas Tea]

Well, it's getting close to midnight there and tomorrow is a work day for Baghdad, so maybe they tucked themselves in a little early tonight.

[Texas Tea]

Oh yeah! I almost forgot about those infamous "noise bombs".

[Nam Vet]

There are NO large boobs on ANY webcam I see!

The folks in Baghdad have to be seriesly sleep deprived. Picture a few of those blasts outside your window every night for 3 weeks.

I am guessing that the soldiers in Baghdad are so sleep deprived that they can't see straight enough to tell when the 3rd ID is coming in.

[BagCamAddict]

Very few cars on the Bag Cam... wonder if we dropped leaflets...

"Stay in your homes tonight. Anyone caught outside will be considered a combatant."

Except Ahmed, of course.

[RightWingMama]

They put on call to prayer now? There are no prayers at 12:10 AM though are there?

There are if you have BIG BOMBS falling all around you. ;-)

[prairiebreeze]

Question of the hour being discussed on MSNBC;

"Is Saddam Dead or Alive?" yawn---Alex Witt is marginal at best

Talking head points out that Saddam has fetish about germs etc. and "a senior US journalist had to perform almost a surgical scrub before Saddam would meet with him"....Blather of course.

Prairie

[Socratic]

Achmed's hormone treatments haven't kicked in yet?

[GOPyouth]

Sweet. Fox just showed the car-shootem-up.

[Texas Tea]

Another thing strange about those blast...there are no sirens. Usually there were a couple of sirens that you could hear off in the distance.

[BagCamAddict]

That press hotel has some serious clout with someone. All of Baghdad is in a blackout except for the traffic circle? Talk about Hollywood Magic.

[Socratic]

Missed it.

[Green]

that the heck is that noise in the cbs bagcam? sounds like someone breathing in the mic...really annoying

[GOPyouth]

They were all white cars trying to ram into our tanks and such. They didn't quite make it. We mowed them down.

[GOPyouth]

Wind.

[GreyWolf]

There are a lot of buses on BAGCAM tonight. Lot's of $$$ (whatever the Iraqi monetary symbol) being made. I heard earlier that a ticket to Jordan was going for $1500 each.

[Nam Vet]

We gonna see another weekend of "This Old Bunker" Marathon with Norm Habib and Achmed Vila?

Nam Vet

[Texas Tea]

Ahmed cutting wind. You know how lamb can effect some people.
