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...

Just logged in to this after signing out last night. Any idea what is going on? Also, anything exciting after the palace raid last night? I've been able to read the news, but don't log in to FR from work - wouldn't be good for my career.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Me too. :(

[GOPrincess]

I think you're right. I actually felt bad for Rita the night of the decision, as she stood there looking at the man next to her explaining what the decision *really* meant with a pained smile on her face. Yeah, she gave me a heart attack there for a while, but fortunately I flipped back and forth with MSNBC and Dan Abrams & Pete Williams gave us the real scoop. (I have to say that was one night MSNBC did a great job!) Anyway, on the whole Rita seems to have done a very credible job for Fox. I don't agree with everything she does (i.e., immediately calling the family of the rescued POW) but I don't think it's any different from any other reporter in the business.

[Poser]

NTV Playing Big Blast on a loop.

[Cate]

Ok, I'll pour the wine. Its a nice Austrailan Shiraz.

[DollyCali]

just checking in.... looks like VERY GOOD NEWS...

watching fox for last time for a few days & then it just the FReeper news

Thanks

[Tree of Liberty]

I can see it. It's a washed out picture, but I can make out the statue.

[sorrisi]

which Bag cam are you watching now? I heard a boom on the CBS Bag cam and now it is all washed out and seems non-functional.

[Nam Vet]

"Do you see the thread the other evening about bury the bodies in pig skin?"

Some of us 'infidels' have been suggesting this for islamofascists since 9/11. I sure know I was.

[Cboldt]

A voice of sanity. For pete's sakes - ALL reporters use the word 'sources'!

Of course they do. I am making fun of the way she emphasizes her sources as special, that's all. She has a humorous elocution, and she talks so darn fast it's sometimes clear she doesn't comprehend what her special sources have communicated to her.

[Right_in_Virginia]

If they announce Osama has been caught tomorrow,,we are all going to go right into orbit. And Tommy D will be deeply saddened and disappointed.

Tommy D's going be receiving electro shock therapy!!

[oceanview]

what kind of communications medium does he have within the city that could be encrypted? It can't be satellite, some kind of cellular? microwave? digital radio?

[Fledermaus]

He is a slimy snake! :-)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for the kind words. Are you grinning from ear to ear tonight? The admin. must know that enough RG's have been taken out, enough locals in place to help w/ the transitional gov., enough humanit. aid, and enough coalition forces in theater to finally say to the Iraqi people, "RISE UP!" We'll clean up... (^;

It still took 51 days for the Clinton admin. to take out the Branch Davidians. (Rush)

[CurlyBill]

I am now opening a cold beer .... what a night!! If they had a visual and sigint on them as is reported, they're GONE!!!

[Warren_Piece]

Not only that, but she has '80s Porn Star Hair'.

[retrokitten]

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neigborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

[Extremist]

Big Booms in Bagdad!

I was thinking earlier how great it would be if Asleep at the Wheel would revisit "Big Balls in Cowtown" and change the lyrics to "Big Bombs in Baghdad"!

I don't think Bob Wills would roll over in his grave.

[Cboldt]

Everyone grab your favorite "Beverage" and lets ALL have a TOAST !!

I'm with ya' but I don't need a reason.

Keep the troops in mind -- our soldiers are in harm's way, and can use a steady hand and clear mind.

[Abigail Adams]

Does Ahmed have to come and flip the switch for "daylight" versus "night vision"? Rattatatatat and an occasional crack is what I've been hearing. Oh...Thanks Ahmed! Nice face.
