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...

NORM!!!

[Green]

it comes up on real player on my puter...

[Lauratealeaf]

I will give them the benefit of the doubt. They have done such a great job covering this war.

[POGIFFMOO]

Personally I think a MOAB would be more dramatic.

[BagCamAddict]

It has been very hot there so this could be a thunderstorm brewing...

At 7:00 in the morning?

Interestingly, with this overcast (natural or man-made), we don't have the glare of the morning sun, so we can actually see some detail in the foreground.

And are those birds I hear chirping? The Canaries are still singing.

Baghdad Bob: We're still waiting for the big surprise you have for us. Is it a new bicycle? A puppy? Do tell.

[Straight Vermonter]

I think the wind is messing up the sat-link.

[ztiworoh]

Did it just quickly clear up and get brighter?

[TomGuy]

I think what's going on is this:

When it gets dark, our guys (SOP) roll into the center of town and paint the toes red on the Saddam statue and also leave a note. Last nite was: "Kilroy was here -- [signed] GWB" Tonite was: "Kilroy came back -- [signed] T.Franks

[brydic1]

Very little traffic this morning in Bag City

[POGIFFMOO]

Somebody's probably already registered it anyway. Charge gazillions in licensing......that's the American way (hey, why didn't I think of that?)

[nicmarlo]

covering their first war, even!

[Tree of Liberty]

Is someone moving the CBS bag-cam down? It keeps blacking out and the iris is open when it comes back.

[melodie]

morse code from achmed

[bornintexas]

Has anyone heard that Centcom is calling the "plan" to go into Baghdad

---

"THUNDER RUN." I like it.

"Let's Roll!"

[retrokitten]

I thought Chemical Ali was dead before, too. Does he maybe have a bunch of doubles, too?

[TigersEye]

it comes up on real player on my puter...

Hmm, how 'bout dat? Wierd. Thanks.

[Cate]

Does the picture on the bag cam keep looking likes its melting or growing or something to you?

[Green]

Achmed is up to his tricks I see...he's messing with the cam

[Lauratealeaf]

I will be telephoning someone at Army information/ Pentagon/ somewhere on Monday morning and suggesting that. It would probably be good if I weren't the only one. I'd like to see them preempt it so it doesn't end up the exclusive right of some stupid hollywood type.

I will too. I think it would be such a great draw into the army for young people. Also would be nice if after Pvt. Lynch gets better they feature her in the ad campaign. One thing that bothers me is that people call her "Jessica" and she should be given her title.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Hmmmm great white..

Just flashed on an image of Marlon Brando from Island of Dr. Moreau..or was it Acopolypse Now... merging w/ stories from Iraq. Time for bed. The AP link above was startling. AP seems to think Iraq is winning. Can't we at least yank their tax-free status? Now I'm just babbling...

Night, all! Don't forget to turn the clocks forward.
