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 An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

that's the one

[Tree of Liberty]

My money is on him never appearing anywhere again, except maybe a casket.

[null and void]

(as in Piccadilly circus (which no longer exists, btw))

A foreign student said to me-e-e-e
Is it really true
there are elephants and lions, too
in Piccadilly circus?

[goldstategop]

Just wait til they meet our armored fist. :)

[Fledermaus]

Tigris, Euphrates...I don't know...I'm not even sure if it's the one on the right or the left.

I just remember the FoxFlyover going from the airport to the river and seeing a loop and a "lake" and they point out where we are bombing.

Forgive me...I'll flog myself now.

[Mo1]

Shit .. was that a launcher of sorts I just saw drive by?

[nicmarlo]

I hope I never become blaise about it

I stop what I'm doing to look ... I get tears well up even now; we have good men and women out there...and brave and strong. I'm very proud of them.

[seeker41]

I thought I saw that too.

[Tree of Liberty]

The CBS cam isn't coming up for me. Anyone know if any of the others are close to it?

[Howlin]

They come out once in a while -- espcially today; mostly you can HEAR them......like when they use their ducttape.

[MEG33]

No sleep tonight. They are blowing up abandoned miltary vehicles.Bob Arnot Msnbc.

[bootyist-monk]

Not seeing these camera guys. Your CBS cam is looking at a traffic circle, Saddam statue in the middle, mosque and minaret on the left?

Yup. Very bottom of the screen in the middle. Looks like the top of a white SUV, then a little to the left, two sets of camera crews under the tree in the center. They blend in when they aren't moving.

[Chummy]

Nah, don't do that!

Hey, is that Dick Clark there, waiting for the ball to drop?

[Mo1]

Now that is the LOVELY sound of a jet I heard

NAIL'EM BOYS

[Tree of Liberty]

Hey, we need something to grease the tank treads

[TheLion]

"what exactly is considered the CENTER of Baghdad??? "


Got me....CNN?

CNN is now covering this in a ho-hum manner. No big deal, etc. They did say that everything is quite normal in town.

It is as if we will come in and everybody will yawn and say "so-what".....guess we will have to kick up some dust!

[nicmarlo]

Me, too; It's 4 a.m. here....I need to go to BED! lol.

[bootyist-monk]

Wouldn't that be un-frickin'-believable?

[Fledermaus]

The center for CNN would be "Quagmire Square".

[abner]

Was that a boom or a jet?
