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!

Hi SoldiersGirl !

Cute pic, awww... :)

[Spunky]

MSNBC Cam. Now I am hearing music. They must be dancing in the street.

[SoldiersGirl]

my daughters are cracking me up
I was watching the white truck thing getting blown up, and then backing up really fast and driving away
Chelsea says "Maybe he's running home to his mom"

I changed it though in case anything ugly happened I didn't want her to see it

[Timeout]

Are the CBS and MSNBC webcams on the same feed or are they different cams?

[SoldiersGirl]

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Peter Arnett, fired by NBC earlier this week for giving an interview to state-run Iraqi television, is reporting for pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya, the station said Saturday.

I wonder how like until he changes his name to Peter Akbar

I wonder how long until he changes his name to Peter Akbar

[Amelia]

It looks more like a leisurely Sunday drive without some Iraqis 'resisting' at all ! ABSOLUTELY NO resistance !!

I could be wrong, but I think the resistance, such as it is, happens before Greg Kelly's vehicle gets there. Notice the burning tanks and trucks he's passing?

[SoldiersGirl]

Bush radio address on

sorry about the double post, my bad

[Carolina]

Heh! My kids begged me to make them breakfast this morning. So I had to relent--buckwheat pancakes. Brewed some fresh coffee and I come back to watch our guys go into Baghdead.

And who does Sky have doing a voice over????? A defiant Soddamite blathering on about how the sanctions have starved Iraqis, blah, blah, blah. Thanks, Sky for ruining the moment.

[Petronski]

MUST READ...the lefties at 'the other site' are are losing faith:

nothing irritates me more than to hear right wingers saying "i told ya so". so far all my predictions about this administration have failed. i realize there is more time before the next election and a lot of stuff can happen, but i have sort of given up hope. war in afghanistan and now iraq...but there has not been an increase in terrorism. we seem to be waltzing into baghdad.

i know it's early but this administration gets what they want and then the right wing supporters rub it in your face. the only thing i can think of going bad is the economy. anyways, i am not an eloquent writer but i thought i'd share that with you guys.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

[Catspaw]

I think before Kelly got there, someone was beating the living crap out of the Iraqi forces from the sky.

[null and void]

I am now going to try to get caught up.

Me too. Eventually...

[POGIFFMOO]

Those burning vehicles were put there by the Iraqis and set on fire to lure us into a trap.

[Timeout]

Greg Kelly, FOX: Republican Guard EPW's are reportedly "giving up LOTS of good information".

The more the better!

CNN, From an aircraft carrier: U.S. is using fixed wing aircraft in close urban combat support.

Now I'm no expert, but isn't that a bit unusual?

[Catspaw]

but there has not been an increase in terrorism. we seem to be waltzing into baghdad.

Too damn funny :-))

[Mrs.Liberty]

I am deeply saddened.....

NOT!

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I WANT to rub it in their nose... Great Post ! ROTFLMFAO !!

[Nam Vet]

I am REALLY anxious to hear what the Dims have to say in response to THIS !!!

Dead?

[POGIFFMOO]

Judging from the level of intelligence of some of these reporters, fixed wing might mean to them they were broken once.
