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...

There is a possible CW find underneath the pavement at a school SE of Baghdad. There was a suicide bomber near the Baghdad Intl. Airport, but caused no U.S. casualties. Big booms near Palestine Hotel about an hour ago. Nothing publicly of note throughout most of the day, I don't think.

[POGIFFMOO]

Try holding your shift key down then.

[Straight Vermonter]

Yep. 30mm DU round. The kind that gets spit out the front end of a 'hog.

The guns on the Hog are manufactured here in VT (drives the Ben and Jerrys types crazy). They test them out right near a popular skiing and hiking spot. I have been 5-8 miles away when they fire off the gun and it send a shiver down my spine every time.

[Doohickey]

Your name shoulda been ALL CAPS

[Texas Tea]

Whoa! That's bad news.

[nicmarlo]

I was here till 4 a.m. this morning, too.....and I'm vey tired; Chemical Ali may be real dead this third time....they bombed him tonight at his farm....we shall see if CentCom says he's dead tomorrow.

The bagcam was off for awhile tonight, I don't know how long

Apparently, around the time the bagcam was out, there were reports that "deafening explosions rocked central baghdad."

The minister of propaganda said we were all killed at the SADAM international airport, even though he also said we really weren't there, it was a hollywood propaganda, but that he'd bring people over to the airport, after it was cleaned up to show how they killed us all and pushed us out....(He's totally lost his mind).

The German reporter said he didn't really believe the American media that we took over the airport, or entered the City of Baghdad, just because the Americans said we did....he prefers to believe the Baghdad Bob, I guess...

Just another day in Iraq! : )

[TexKat]

MSNBC reporting that the Republican Guard in the Baghdad area is virtually defeated.

The fight will mostly be against those marytrdom idiots in the pickemup trucks(my words).

[Green]

You forgot the morgue at the deserted Iraq military location and the 100's of bunkers of ammunition found also

[Unknown Freeper]

Press the shift key. Or you can use a paper clip to get the crumbs out.

[nicmarlo]

He's comic relief, I tell ya....I look forward to his speeches!

[Tree of Liberty]

Much more. After being fired, the uranium actually heats up to the point that it melts the steel ahead of it so that it never really touches the target.

[knak]

Are the CAMS back on yet. I got bored without them so I went and made brownies and banana bread.

[Kevin Curry]

The minister of propaganda said we were all killed at the SADAM international airport, even though he also said we really weren't there,

So let me get this straight: our troops weren't there, but even if they were, they were annihilated by the brave Iraq forces.

[cajungirl]

I wonder where they chems and germs are? Surely they will find some,,if not the dems will have multiple simultaneous orgasms of delight. Now they are saying unless Saddam is proved dead the war is a failure. Now really,,,do we really need his body. If he is gone, no matter where, and no longer running the country isn't the war a success? I hate dems, how much more can we take of them.

[retrokitten]

Things are kind of slow...maybe evil Homer can liven them up...

[POGIFFMOO]

Isn't he hosting SNL tonight?

[Green]

Or you can use a paper clip to get the crumbs out.

lmao I've really had to do that before

[Cate]

yum.. I have fresh coffee here, could you send me a brownie to go with it?

[Captain Beyond]

Was your platform a Dhue in every LazyBoy. When she wears short skirts are we then in deep Dhue. You will also need a Defcon Dhue alert. And I want my Dhue TV.

[TigersEye]

When was the last time Bag Bob spoke?
