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...

Sounds like more planes in the sky

[Fledermaus]

Just flipped to MSNBC...it's no wonder their ratings suck.

Keith was being a jerk again, making fun of Rummy with the "known knowns" thing he said.

Funny, I've seen the same things at other websites, even Salon, and they love it.

It makes sense to me. And was perfect in the context of the stupid question he got from some idiot that probably worked for NBC.

The left is getting funnier and funnier.

[commish]

Iraqi Police are chasing the Jet! Pull over!

[bornintexas]

"quagmire thingee"

rotflmao!

[Clean_Sweep]

"The Iraqi Military web site shows that Helen Thomas is embedded in the Republican Guard Southern Corps 6th Nebuchadnezzar and Susan Estrich is with the Northern Corps 2nd Al-Medina."

Gorgon's are men will be turned to stone. Don't look into their eyes!!!!

[Tree of Liberty]

To me, "quagmire" always sounds like a Syd & Martie Kroft monster puppet.

[Sacajaweau]

bump for morning

[Clean_Sweep]

are =our

[commish]

Yeah. He said straight out that he was a little jealous of Greg and Ollie

I loved the "Guess I'm buying the beers" comment

[nicmarlo]

You gotta wonder what it's like to be there driving around Baghdad today...Maybe they don't know how close we are? Or maybe it's kind of a denial thing. Can you imagine another country's military coming into your home town? I think many may not know....the rest are in denial....and I've tried to think of another country's military coming into my home town....frightening....unless it can't be more frightening to live under such an evil man as Saddam and his thugs...

[Timeout]

Can we email Shep and ask him about Ahmed?

See post #59.

Wouldn't hurt for more people to email them.

[Shermy]

Smith just said that as soon as the technology "and military" allow they'll show more.

I took that to mean Oliver North's reporting.

[allodialman]

Just got on cbs-cam. It is much better than msnbc...sound and pic

[nicmarlo]

Yep, I hear planes, too....I saw jets take off earlier from the Constellation...wonder if it's the same. am also hearing sirens off and on...

[Mo1]

Brian Williams is on ... but no Lauie Dhue

[Fledermaus]

Some are just stupid enough to believe the lies that we are not there.

The RG did at the airport. Some scientist doctor we took out of his house said, "I beleived the minister, they said they were 100 miles away in Najir (or whatever)".

[Mrs.Liberty]

Good Nite, All. I'll see you in the morning..

[SoldiersGirl]

More Rick
poor guy
"unlike our other 2 embedded reporters, I am not in Baghdad"
hound dog look

[Tree of Liberty]

I was reading another article here at FR about a scientist, I think it was, who was really surprised when troops shot the lock off his door and came in. He bought into the propaganda that we hadn't made it any farther north than Najaf.

Bathroom thing: what I've been told by a friend who's in the military, they basically dig a community hole for people to do their business in.. the way it sounds it's not the most private bathroom in the world.
