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...

Question; Has anybody read or heard anything about SH's money? Whether it can be frozen?

[RippleFire]

They ditch the uniform pants. I swear I read yesterday that one guy surrendered in a thong!

[bvw]

He fought Saddam, when it wasn't so popular. Period. Comma. Semi-colon. Exclamation Point.

[Michael81Dus]

Thank you. Even if the spanish collegue may have written for the anti-war-site, that makes his death not less sad.
FOCUS, just to inform you, is liberal-conservative and has not actively opposed the war.

[Mjaye]

...'vatos'-turned-USMC from East LA, who decided to 'tag' those Saddam murals with some good old California 'homeboy' grafitti.<<<<<

Yeah, and a few drive-by's could be overlooked...ELA is so good at those things.

[Dog]

One more time ....his vest is reflecting into the camera......a real dolt!

[Cboldt]

How the Coalition is using the New Palace:

And they immediately put it to use as a mobile command center, setting up a prisoner of war collection point in the palace compound.

As Iraqis were captured in street fighting outside, they were brought to the palace for processing before being sent behind U.S. lines.

[Catspaw]

They ditch the uniform pants. I swear I read yesterday that one guy surrendered in a thong!

*snicker* How humiliating! *snicker*

[Poser]

Hairspray Alert!

Are you talking about Eraserhead?

[boreddough]

Jeez..that's it..i'm going into broadcasting...you can be a total f**k-up and work for a major network

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

This is the first time to view this person. I really feel total pity for him.... sort of. You all have done a good job of, um, describing his reports. Richard Engle - ABC news? I thought this was CBS Bag cam? But it sounded quite like an Al Jazeeerra friendly broadcast. Has this been the case for the entire time of his reports? If he is ABC - or CBS - it explains it all. Is CBS or ABC or whoever is running this Bag Cam totally unaware of what is going out over the Internet? If so - just more proof that the old media have no comprehension of what is going on with the "new" media.

[Dog]

Pretty Boy has been flubbing his lines for 15 minutes now..

[angelwings49]

Damn, I think I know his lines better than he does!

[Mjaye]

I know the Fox guys aren't silly like this goofus when taping their reports. But he does speak Arabic or whatever, he had a spirited discussion with the crew last night on camera.

[Catspaw]

As Iraqis were captured in street fighting outside, they were brought to the palace for processing before being sent behind U.S. lines.

Beautiful psy-ops. Let them get a GOOD look at who and what they're defending before they get shiped off to the POW camp.

[RippleFire]

Engle - the 'cam dude

[retrokitten]

You mean like this?

A U.S. soldier from 2nd Battalion, 70 Armor destroys a portrait of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in the town of Kerbala 70 miles southwest of Baghdad, April 5, 2003. Moving street to street, U.S. troops pushed into the center of Kerbala on April 6, after fierce battles with Iraqi paramilitaries threatening U.S. supply lines north to Baghdad. (Peter Andrews/Reuters)

[Queen of Excelsior]

This reporter doesn't get it. We don't care what he looks like. we just want him to report the facts. He's wearing that vest. Must be afraid he's going to get shot on the roof? Surprised he doesn't have a helmet. Oh wait--That would ruin his hair

[Dog]

He is worried about his hair.......he was told his hair looked bad.....he is going to cry....LOLOLOLOL!!!

[Mjaye]

Can't you see the crew purposely driving him nuts telling him his hair is askew?
