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...

The media could go walk the streets looking for American tanks. He claimed that Baghdad was secure. They had "checkpoints" up (like that would stop a tank).

Sky News announcer:

"We just had a broadcast from Baghdad Airport in the past hour, if the Americans were expelled, it would have had to been within that time...

"...someone is telling lies...it's our job to present both sides of the issue...you can either believe the pictures we've been showing you, or the Iraqi information minister."

ROFL!!!!

That's what I mean. First he offers the media a (one way ) trip to the airport, then to the combat zone. I think he's saying goodbye.

Baghdad Boob: "All is, everything is ok. Ok. Dose miserable guys. Dose nerds. Dose mean persons."

Say, howdya like the courtesy of CentCom? Held off on the barrage until Baghdad Boob stomped off, then resumed blasting again? (see the smoke?)

Remember at the end of Blazing Saddles when the cowboy movie big fight scene came busting into the Dom DeLuise dance number on the next sound stage?

That's what's about to happen to Baghdad Bob's news conference.

Those sirens were a mighty bit close there. I love how he backtracked on the airport. He was first like, you can go in an hour, and then he was like, you can go when it's clean.
