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...

Just kidding. Actually, don't think I've logged near the hours as most here. Just thought I'd get to see some nice American tanks on the Bagcam last night. Unfortunately, I have to leave shortly, so you all should see some good stuff tonight while I'm gone.
A little boy was at Sunday School, and he asked his teacher where Lazarus was living now. The teacher responded that Lazarus was dead. The boy replied... "Again???"
Thanks for that. I just read it outloud to my husband and he thinks I actually knew a joke!
Just saw a report on The News Hour (Jim Lehrer), with an LA Times reporter who is in Baghdad. He said:
The target of the explosion that was so close to the Palestine Hotel was a local Police Station! I guess we didn't like that stupid Police Parade. LOL (per the LA Times reporter in Baghdad)
Asked about the discrepency in reports about who controls Baghdad Airport, he said that Baghdad Bob had promised several times to take reporters out to the Airport to prove that it was in Iraqi hands, but that has never happened. He said the LA Times has imbedded reporters who are AT the Baghdad Airport, "So I'd say the balance of truth is on the Coalition side."
Hello??? THE BALANCE of truth??? I'd say it's a little more than that.
Also asked about CentCom reports that we are inside the city vs. Baghdad Bob's claims that we are not. He said no one he has talked to has seen any of our troops, so no one believes it (I got the feeling HE didn't believe it either). But he had clearly seen RG and Fedayeen and heavy equipment coming into the city: Tanks, machine gun emplacements, manning of all the sandbag posts, etc. So "it is clear that they intend to make a strong effort to defend the city and turn this into urban combat."
