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...

[Chummy]

Another form of atrocity Saddam's regime is committing against the people of Iraq: deceiving them and placing their lives at risk.

(Subwoofer-shaking blast there to the right, people yelling something not quite clear, and the sound of freedom flying overhead)

[Mo1]

Tell ya what .. why don't you go to Iraq and give that speech to the Iraqi People .. and then get back to me on their reponse about what kind of Freedom they had with Saddam

[Howlin]

It's true.........LOL.

Whiners!

[attyatlaw001]

Associated Press reporting US 3d Infantry captures HQ of RG Medina Division!

[Fledermaus]

I can see them now over at DU..."dude, go register and post this screed and watch them ban and attack you...those facisist! We are so much more enlightend and progressive. The world will bow to our utopia"!

[Jason Kauppinen]

left-wing Canadian alert.

[Timesink]

A REAL CANADIAN

FRENCH

[TheLion]

Probably pretty easy....nobody home! They are probably all underground somewhere.

[GOPyouth]

Smoke on the right side of the screen on the bagcam. Might be result of that hit a minute ago.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Did anyone else see a bird fly by the screen?

[bluefish]

White pickups and vans everywhere now...

[Howlin]

I heard that!

IS THIS IT??????

[MEG33]

Some have run and created problems for our troop movement.The people have been largely detached..as the bombs aren't aimed at them. No electricity woke them though.(reporter in Baghdad.

[Howlin]

How can it be this easy?

[Chummy]

been hangin' there for awhile -- more fireworks, more whoomp -- but watch how it ebbs and flows .. hits close?

What the heck was that that just flew by?

[Texas Tea]

Nope, been there since sunrise.

[alameda]

Thanks I thought I was starting to lose it....

[Anomaly in Illinois]

It's true

That's why it's funny. ;)

[TexKat]

Maybe we've been staring at a screensaver all along.

We have. After the first night of shock and awe, I told my son that we probably would not see too much more of live bombing or fighting because of the war protestors and those that just can't stomach it.

So it really cannot be said that there was no Shock and Awe, we just could not be witness to it because of the faint at heart.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Is any network running the sound on the Baghdad Cam? The rumbling from artillery and armor is almost constant.
