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 Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

[Anomaly in Illinois]

Darn, you beat me to it!

Isn't that a great photo?

[Carolina]

Well, it doesn't appear intervention is necessary, since you've brought yourself down to two exclamation points.

Well, that could change. It's my prerogative and all. ;)

[aristeides]

Got a link for that interview? Do you know what Italians he was speaking to?

[Not A Snowbird]

"Well, at least I still have 2 weeks until the taxes are due. "

Taxes!? Oh, hell, I knew I was forgetting something.

[bray]

This morning on Fox, they had his camaraman call in. He and Kelly were both fine and the two killed journalists were German and Spanish. Kelly was still at the palace and the journalists had just left a briefing before the briefing room got hit. The camaraman had just left the briefing minutes earlier.

[null and void]

"I need a break, guys! I suddenly feel like Satan is grilling my stomach in Hell!"

Been there done that. That's pretty much what it feels like when one's pancreas explodes.

Morphine is good...

[Timeout]

Geraldo Rivera: Jerry Rivers, started out in Afghanistan, went to Iraq with the 101st, had the dubious distinction of being the first man to come back from Iraq, reportedly will re-enter Iraq with the 4th ID. We could call him "Yo Yo".

[aristeides]

I still haven't found a link to that interview with the Italians. But I find Aziz did give an interview to ABC News on Mar. 30: Tariq Aziz interview: Excerpts.

[Consort]

Rivers is meandering.

[melodie]

hmm.. yo-yo geraldo....kind catchy

[null and void]

Don't you have the word order mixed up here?

Nope. "To Serve Mankind" was a book the aliens brought us as a gift when they showed up...

[EllaMinnow]

I know that the DU folks will claim that we planted any WMD that are found, but I hope no serious news agency will make that claim.

[ER_in_OC,CA]

About the Mohammed Info-Boy = Saturday Night Live "invention."

I heard some commentator or interviewee on TV yesterday say the same thing about the Iraqi Info Minister.

I'm a big fan of FR, but I'm pretty confident that this "observation" is one that more than just our clique of conservatives would have thought of.

[VadeRetro]

Been there done that. That's pretty much what it feels like when one's pancreas explodes.

I've had a gall bladder trying to do that before.

BTW, the reference earlier ("Satan is grilling their stomachs in Hell") was to Baghdad Bob, AKA Minister Sahaf, ignoring plainly visible tanks across the river and telling people that the US has been routed.

[null and void]

Yup!

[Not A Snowbird]

"Aziz did give an interview to ABC News on
Mar. 30:"

He's sure keeping a low profile.

[retrokitten]

This is very interesting....Eight Human Sheilds Ordered into Baghdad Hotel

Collection of Links for April 7, 2003

• 3 ID takes New Presidential Palace and Presidential Palace (both on west side of Tigris) <-- Link
• 3 ID takes Parade grounds, and shoots down statue of Saddam? on horse <-- Link
• Pretty sure Chemical Ali was killed in Basrah <-- Link
• Iraqi missile hits 3 ID, 2nd Brigade communication unit - 2 US soldiers killed, 2 reporters killed (not US) <-- Link
• Marines moving into Baghdad from the west, 2 KIA <-- Link
• 3 ID does NOT take the Ministry of Information Building <-- Link
• Several reports of Chem agents found (multiple locations)
• Basrah is "over the hump" <-- Link
• Citizens of Baghdad were reported to be taking matters into their own hands <-- Link
• II MEF rumored to have "uncloaked" northwest of Baghdad <-- Link
  Sky News just said that in the field there have been rumours that the II Marine Expeditionary (14,000- 42,000 strong) is coming from the Northwest to launch a killing blow on Baghdad after wire reports noted that the Baghdad Government may fall in days, not weeks.

[mhking]

It was a cookbook...

The "Zone" is always in order....

[ztiworoh]

A "friend" of mine, ok he's a friend when not talking politics, made this claim today, he says he's against the war because it sets a dangerous precedent for us and that Saddam was just an easy target to begin American imperialism and we'll plant WMDs there

I need to be reminded never to talk politics with him ever again
