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...

[Extremist]

If its true, I bet the last thing to go through Saddam's mind was...HIS A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GOPyouth]

I would love to the be the soldier to find the body.. I'd be like, "You got knocked the f-ck out, MAN!"

[Howlin]

I hate to say this, but MSNBC beats Fox and CNN on breaking.

[Cboldt]

how our Baghdad Bob will deal with this little morsel

The entrails of the infidels have been dragged through the desert in humiliation, prasie allah, and are being eaten by the vultures. They are committing suicide in New York, they are so much in fear of our great power . . . blah blah blah

[Consort]

Where does Baghdad Bob stand on the Iraqi Line of Succession List?

[Timeout]

Even the dogs are celebrating on the BagCam!

[ztiworoh]

Fox was being responsble, didnt want to break a wrong story, they even found the video of the strike

[Howlin]

Is that that comedian, Ralph Harris or something like that? :-)

[bornintexas]

o/t....I had to run to town today and was listening to KTOK give an interview with Scott Ritter. (barf alert before hand) He was totally ranting about this being an unjust war and how this administration has lied all along about WMD and the American people ought to be furious with Bush.

Ritter said that Bush is lying about: 1)the previous inspections had already elimated most of the WMDs and Bush is just not telling us because the inspectors could have finished the job, 2)Bush said the WMD were located in Saddam's palaces and we haven't found any, 3)Bush said they would use WMD on our soldiers and they haven't...so that means they don't have any, 4)the chemicals found in the Euphrates (sp) River was all bogus..that it is just sewage, and 5)the WMD found at the pesticide plant were just that..pesticides.

He said you "might" have been able to find out where they "destroyed" all their weapons if you could interview the scientist...but its not worth Bush killing 100 American soldiers to get that interview.

He said that the inspectors should have been allowed to continue and that Bush's Las Vegas style foreign policy is betting on finding what's not there.

He also said that CNN has called him several times "begging" him to come on and discuss WMDs after they get word of the embeds finding a new stash. He said they always end up calling him back and say it was a false alarm.

Why doesn't this guy go away. Needless to say, the station was bombarded with people calling in and saying what an idiot he was.

[justshe]

With 4 bunker busters there may be no bodies to find.

[Poser]

No. Rolf Harris, singer of Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport!

[cyncooper]

There's been some side-stepping away from the earlier reports. Now there's some thought that it is a fertilizer plant...

Um, I know that.

If you read the articles, it's a lot more complicated than that. Mind you, I'm waiting for testing to be completed, how would I know? But officials (note: not journalists) have NOT debunked. Believe me, I've read much about it.

Plus there's the matter of journalists muddling up their reporting, when there at least three different sites discovered in the last two days.

[Timeout]

They gave this one to Andrea Mitchell, sounds like. That makes sense, she's the preeminent foreign affairs correspondent. Way to go, Andrea!

[GOPyouth]

Chris Tucker ;)

[Extremist]

Suddam Hussain: REST IN PIECES..

[Fledermaus]

They're dead, Jim.

[Republic of Texas]

If I've learned anything from this war it's that the FIRST report from the battlefield is ALWAYS wrong. (to a degree at least) We need confirmation from two reliable sources, and probably that won't happen until there is an American Sgt. standing next to his cold, dead, paunchy, body.

[meyer]

Hussein/sons seen going in... not seen going out.

Perhaps they left much more quickly than the arrived...

[EllaMinnow]

AP has it now.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I get a feeling the Iraqis are gonna be singing in the streets in about an hour when the "cufew" is lifted.

Question now is, what happens to all the Saddam lookalikes?
