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...

If any Bag Cams are back up, I guess that nixes the Nuke theory.

Maybe WE didn't want the world to see us in downtown Baghdad, so we turned off the lights for a couple hours while we mobilized a couple-hundred-vehicle convoy through the traffic circle.

Maybe Ahmed forgot to gas up the generator.

Maybe we had a MOAB with the names of all the reporters in the Palestine Hotel written all over it.

Maybe Baghdad Bob's "surprise" for us was that they took out the satellite that broadcast the Bag Cams, with one of those missiles that only goes 94 miles.

Maybe the war is over so the networks all went home to find the next big ratings grabber.

Maybe Gen. Franks hated the question that reporter asked of the Lynch's at the press conference today, and decided to "soften up" a few reporters so the rest of them would get the message.

Maybe one of those barking dogs peed on the electrical cord and caused a short.

West Virginia is the only place on earth that has more places per sq mile named for a demogogue than Iraq. Streets, highways, bridges, building, schools, auditoriums all paid for by the US taxpayer. Thanks to the Pork King, KKK Byrd.

I bet he'd have some help from General Brooks on that one!
