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...

Don't you know? All the patriotic Iraqis were supposed to turn in their cell phones and sat phones.

And in an early report--and I only heard it once--they discovered they were sending messages by flag.

I haven't heard any reports of sending messages by two tin cans and a string.

Jed Babbin is the most incredibly-sourced reporter in the whole war!

I am still stunned at the exclusivity given FOX on the entrance to BAG. Two reporters, while other nets are sitting it out at the airport or worse. It's extraordinary!

I think a certain amount of activity like this should be expected and encouraged.

Report on MSNBC that Iraqi civilians may have hung 6 members of the Ba'ath party.

What do you call "a good start?"

Looks like they're sending smoke signals, too.

Didn't someone say they heard indians earlier?

LOL!

Juliette on FN: (regarding finding WMD) She says that if WMD are found that COMPLETELY changes the battle field.

??? It does not Juliette. The battle field is what it is and it's almost over, in case you haven't noticed.

OTOH, when we find the WMD, it will COMPLETELY piss off France and Germany.

I could've sworn they were sending messages by bats. ;)
