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...

Your honesty is appreciated . . . you know, there's a saying about athiests and foxholes . . . God is ready whenever you are . . .

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

they were trained to suppress, torture and torment the Iraqi people.

Why do you think you see one of the Arab's favorite weapons plenty of times on the news, a pick up truck with a machine gun mounted in the back? They love the things and have plenty of them. About the only practical use for these trucks is crowd control.

[commish]

I think what is left of the leadership and "crack" LOL troops have high tailed it to Tikrit and they left Baghdad Boob as comic relief.

As for WMD, some has probably gone to syria and sch, but I also think we have found a lot -- just not a good time to release the info. Once we announce 100% that we have found WND there is nothing to stop them from using them.

[Mo1]

Remember back a while ago when Jim and John thought it would be cute to put the NUMBER of posts TO you and FROM you on your MY COMMENTS page?

Yes .. I worked really hard to get those number up high ..

[commish]

Woo hoo the Doggie's are still alive. Was afraid they got smushed yesterday LOL!.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I don't want to even go there. I'd rather think that our guys are busy taking care of business of the unsavory, detailed kind..unsuitable for children (or most of the civilized world). I am so grateful they're willing...and able.

[Mo1]

A bit of an update,daughter in law has been called from battalion stating there has ben an incident at com center,nothing follows

Sending prayers right away

[tricky_k_1972]

Flare just went up. maybe something's startin HEHE.

[null and void]

(Can't remember his name, but he's also the one who wouldn't believe that the Americans were at the Baghdad aiport or in the city, JUST BECAUSE the Americans said so, and tended to believe Baghdad Bob....said he felt both sides were equally putting out propaganda.)

More cliton legacy, our loss of credibility...

[Lacey]

OK folks; time for a little humor break; sorry if this is a re-post....

What is the Iraqi air force motto? I came, I saw, Iran.

Have you heard about the new Iraqi air force exercise program? Each morning you raise your hands above your head and leave them there.

What's the five-day forecast for Baghdad? Two days.

What do Miss Muffet and Saddam Hussein have in common? They both have Kurds in their way.

What is the best Iraqi job? Foreign ambassador.

Did you hear that it is twice as easy to train Iraqi fighter pilots? You only have to teach them to take off.

How do you play Iraqi bingo? B-52 ... F-16 ... B-52

What is Iraq's national bird? Duck.

What do Saddam Hussein and General Custer have in common? They both want to know where the hell those Tomahawks are coming from!

Why does the Iraqi navy have glass bottom boats? So they can see their air force.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Praying for him! Please keep us informed!!!

U.S. Officials Believe Hussein's Son Qusay Is Still Alive

From the article: "For nearly three weeks, the fate and whereabouts of the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his two sons, Qusay and Uday, were considered uncertain. All three may have been in a bunker in Baghdad that was targeted by cruise missiles and bunker-busting bombs on March 19, the opening night of the military campaign. Since then, it has been unclear whether Iraq's top leadership were injured or killed in the attack.

"The latest information, based on overheard conversations in the last few days, had led officers to conclude that Qusay Saddam, his father's heir apparent, is most likely alive. 'If he's not, then there's a very good imposter out there,' one official said.

"In addition, the overhead communications reveal the same defiant optimism that Baghdad's information minister presents to listening Iraqis and foreign journalists."

Now, I am imagining a Special Ops guy pretending to be Qusay, and having some fun!!!

[Mo1]

for example, you can now buy the entire ministry of information for two goats.

LOL!!

[Dog]

[knak]

where did you see a flare

[tricky_k_1972]

I may be late but i heard some of our soldiers are staying over night at the Pres pallace. probably some nice digs and maybe a shower.

[Mo1]

Thanks Glock

HEy BB this is QS -- listen here is the plan. I want you to go out on TV and claim that the American;s are not in Baghdad. That those are not American tanks.

.....

Huh, how the heck should I know! You are the Disinformation minister, tell them that it is an exercise, or better yet that it is a Hollywood Cowboy stunt. yeah yeah Tell them it is Hollywood.

....

What was that , they are there now, they have your building? Ok go to a basement somewhere and broadcast that the American's are committing suicide onthe city walls. yeah yeah I know we don;t really have city walls, but the idiot Democrats in the US don;t know that.

[Mo1]

it's raining. the thumps are raindrops on the mike.

Some of them are pretty heavey rain drops

[tricky_k_1972]

I have two cams up now, the green PMSNBC cam and the true color CBS cam.
