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...

At the airport Lt. Col. Lee Fetterman, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Brigade, of the 101st Airborne Division, said there have been several hundred people killed there so far. He said some of the bodies were the remains of would-be suicide attackers with bombs strapped to them.

Hi and bye, SG

[Timeout]

Are you in San Francisco?

[Timeout]

...or are you a special forces dude?

[johniegrad]

Anyone fluent in Arabic?

[goldstategop]

That's a lot of dead ex-martyrs for the cult of Allah.

[Tree of Liberty]

Only the number system

[TomGuy]

msnbc #2 is on again...different view than NTV.

[Green]

AP: can you elaborate on your definition of "favorable" in describing the results of your raid on the 19th

Gen: Favorable means very good. And not going to go beyond that - good try though.

LOL

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

US Forces Still Not in Robert Fisk's Hotel Room -
Must be quagmire.

[Catspaw]

I swear they check the reporter's IQ's and send the dumbest ones to CENTCOM briefings.

[johniegrad]

Jammin' on msnbc2. A cross between wailing and polka.

[johnb838]

I want to see Baghdad Bob come on, braced by a couple of really mean looking MPs and say they have us right where they want us.

Then I want to see him kicking at the end of a rope.

[wolficatZ]

Im not sure about best cam. I'm watching the amazing footage of todays battles on UNivision, but it's in a window with centcom briefing.Arggggggh. Man it must be hell
moving around and fighting in those chem suits in the heat.

[mhking]

msnbc #2 is on again...different view than NTV.

Yeah, along with Qasey Qasem's Iraqi Top 40....

[Green]

Agree...that's why I have dubbed these briefings as CENTCOM's production of a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. ha!

I think they compete for the dumbest questions.

[najida]

And they send the reporters with the heaviest accents and worst English...

We need sign language or subtiles.

[Catspaw]

Where are the troops in Baghdad now? Why don't they just give the GPS coordinates, or lacking that, the cross streets? Sheesh.
