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...

I'LL RACE YA!

Rows of US Army M1 Abrams tanks are parked outside a hangar at Baghdad's international airport 05 April 2003, after US Army troops from the 3rd Infantry Division battled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s Republican Guards close to the Iraqi capital. US military officials said they have taken over and secured the airport and a key highway intersection in the outskirts of Baghdad. AFP PHOTO/Romeo GACAD(AFP/ROMEO GACAD)

[Kenno]

She should be in all commercials.

[BagCamAddict]

.... if all of a sudden the statue of Saddam just disintegrates as it falls into a thud...

I would personally like to see this one statue in the middle of the traffic circle left standing -- for the liberated Iraqi people to take down themselves. Like when the Berlin Wall came down. We didn't do it, THE PEOPLE did it. It would really empower them.

[Armed Civilian]

JUST A LITTLE BAGHDA BOOB HUMOR.

[Nam Vet]

Norm Habib is the real man for the precision work. I haven't seen him Lately.

Methinks Norm Habib joined the ' Great Baghdad Bugout ".

Race me to what? I've got all of the 24 hour even thousands.

Perhaps 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555, 6666

MSNBC banner says: CentCom officials say Republican Guard is "virtually defeated"

From MY perspective and with MY attitude towards women:

Absolutely, going after a female POW would jazz me up more, as would defending my wife and children from intruders would be more important than defending my co-workers.

However, I happen to be more honest than many, and definitely have chivalry coursing through my veins.

[POGIFFMOO]

I thought I recognized those places.....they all look the same don't they?

[socal_parrot]

Baghdad Bob's comment on that photo-"Just another excellent Photoshop effort from Registered."

[cajungirl]

Yall forgot ALI BABA. and it took me an hour to catch up. and my husband thinks I am obsessed with the war. and I despise Eleanor Clift who is a relative of the devil and thus an inlaw of that screeching Estrich woman.

[ztiworoh]

Other than the Feyadeen then, we can say we've won I guess, since that's the end of their military force

[retrokitten]

Halls makes these strawberry vitamin c drops that are really good. I think they make orange flavor, too.

Personally, I like the Celestial Seasonings honey, lemon and chamomille. I think that's what they are. They're in a yellow bag with the Sleepy Time Tea bear on the front.

[nicmarlo]

no humor, this is vey series!

I WAS THERE WHEN YOU GOT 4000. HOW YA DHUEIN?
