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...

Isn't Greg Kelly also a marine?

Yeap and so is his old man.

[Taffini]

I should know but I don't--Who is Baghdad Bob?

[SoldiersGirl]

mmm
and when they dry outside, they get all nice and crisp.....

I had to put a laundry line up here because the house didn't have one.

[Timeout]

I think the two----1st strike and man with tongue cut out---are unrelated. A man bled to death after having his tongue cut out, but it was in north Iraq, not Baghdad and it was several days b/4 the strike. He was accused of speaking ill of the regime. Kill 'em all.

[TomGuy]

Fox News Channel coverage (last night) was absolutly awesome. Shep's 2 hours was great

Shep was so excited (and who could blame him). It was good to see a news commentator so ecstatic about American military successes.

[Green]

Baghdad Bob = Iraqi (dis)Information Minister

[nicmarlo]

for that Fox is accused of "excessive patriotic pornography."

Yeah, well, AMERICA turns in FOX and turns out the alphabet channels......and FOX smiles all the way to the bank! : )

[Catspaw]

I only remember that the report was early on, perhaps from in & around Basra. Someone spotted an Iraqi (probably fedayeen) on top of a farm building using flag signals to another unit. I remember telling my hubby, "there's one signal we can't tap electronically."

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I love your tagline....

[Green]

No, that is not what FN was talking about. There is a new release just now coming out on UPI that they were talking about. It was specifically about our raid and informants helping the CIA

[mware]

Who is Baghdad Bob?

The Minister of Disinformation.

[nicmarlo]

Shep was a riot last night, all excited about baghdad, crackin jokes with Rick L

He's been definitely a USofA cheerleader....much fun to listen to him, too.

[Quilla]

Good Morning Situation Room!

My hubby and I had a date last night as well, so I'm playing catch-up on Fox and this thread.

One question - how on earth does one make up a bed without using hospital corners? Chalk another one up for using HC's. :)

[Manic_Episode]

"Oow, oow."

[Catspaw]

That's what I saw--Shep talking with Greg Kelly--his signal kept going in & out--and joking around with Rick Leventhal. Rick, as usual, was just an itty bit whiny--and jealous that Greg & Ollie were going in first.

[SoldiersGirl]

Shep cornered the quote of the war
during e-mails with questions for Rick, Shep says.."Enough with the bathroom questions,Looks what he's standing on, don't you people have a cat?"

[Carolina]

SG, did you get some sleep???

[najida]

You people actually make your beds! ;)

[SoldiersGirl]

I stole it off of a sign in front of a store :-)

[Taffini]

Baghdad Bob = Iraqi (dis)Information Minister


Is that the nut who said we weren't even in the country?
