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, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Shots?? Not bombs??

I'm hearing pops but I think they are just artifacts of the 28k baud connection sound decoding on my slow computer.

Now the cam is zooming in and out at a building across the street with three lit archways.

[Miss Marple]

I think you have a point. However, we need some way to distinguish between those wwe oppose and those we are trying to liberate. Suggestions are welcome.

You might wonder what brainiac decided that the US was more likely to face bio/chem weapons in forests than the desert given the current world situation? Maybe they were worried we would face bio/chem weaposn in an assault on France some day. Maybe after Saddam became PM of France?

France surrendered?

To quote my favorite band Def Leppard: No serenade, no fire-brigade, just a pyromania.

Some serious fire going on in Baghdad.

[Poser]

Pretty good fire in Baghdad.

I don't think it helps the President very much in his plan to free the Iraqi people when his base consistently refers to them as ragheads. Not singling you out, it's just a thought.

OK. Sorry. I retract my ethnically offensive remarks which may, in fact, still be legal in some jurisdictions.

Still hearing erudite discussions among members of the widely respected and morally superior religion of the followers of Mohammed. I have subjected their beautiful and poetic language, clearly superior to English in every respect, to Babelfish and roughly translated it comes out to "With this level of borborygmus, I, Ahmed, have no choice but to voluntarily expel the flatus in your general direction."

In the interest of international solidarity and respect for all civilizations, I accept that flatus since, culturally speaking, all flatus are equal.

i've noticed usually about 30 second lag or less... but i didn't hear it either. it's on fox on the minaret cam...

they did a full 360 with the cam on fox... baghdad's a big city

[Timeout]

Suggestions are welcome.

Patience is the only cure.

There was some fascinating Brit footage this morning of allied troops breaking down doors and searching homes in Umm Qsar. They are getting tips from residents as to who the thugs are. I think that's the only possible strategy.

Just trying to get post 1000.
