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...

It's one o'clock in the morning.

[Consort]

1:04 AM?

[Abigail Adams]

Wow, they call for prayer in the middle of the night?

[Green]

well darn it....nope Texas here lol

[gop212]

Heather Nauert in Ahman, Jordan.........NICE.

[GreyWolf]

Achmed playing with BagCam again. Panning around. Lots of sirens going by. Something big is brewing.

[ztiworoh]

So, once we take Baghdad, think we'll remove that big Egg Shaped memorial to himself Saddam Built in the city after the first Gulf War?

[glock rocks]

Wow, they call for prayer in the middle of the night?

only when it's raining bombs.

[nicmarlo]

can you imagine the world outrage if Bush had taken France's position? You can write the article with little imagination..."Bush protects oil contracts, economic interests and dirty secrets at the expense of the people of Iraq who are brutalized by a sadistic tyrant."

That's what I think I like most about Bush....he's said he "doesn't look to polls to tell him what he ought to do." He's does the right thing, regardless of the wrong people wanting to do nothing.

[Texas Tea]

Hope, it seems like he starts singing after each explosion. It's their new and improve version of the air raid alarm.

[sissyjane]

I think they are using the call to prayer instead of the air-raid sirens.Some one broke it.

[StriperSniper]

That press hotel has some serious clout with someone. All of Baghdad is in a blackout except for the traffic circle? Talk about Hollywood Magic.

While preaching against the war, the media invested heavily in run-up to it. They wanted it more than just about anyone. As far as the media war, Fox is the victor by far. Remember, it was GW I that made CNN.

[nicmarlo]

Every freepin time I turn the Bag-cam on my computer freezes after about one minute! AAARGH!!

Mine, too; but I thought it was just because I have a stupid OS (Windows ME).

[Green]

Their call to prayer has a dual use now (ya know, Iraq is really well versed in those dual uses). No more air raid sirens so they use the call to prayer. LOL

FN just reported major explosions SW of the airport so that is probably what prompted the serenade.

[ztiworoh]

Yeah according to a report a few days back they say "God Is Great, he will protect us" when there's a bomb coming, and "God is Great, the Enemy has left us" as an all clear signal

[Catspaw]

I believe you're right about the air raid warning sirens. They've substituted using the mosque loudspeakers and something akin to a call for prayer to warn the populace.

[don-o]

Not unless Texas has relocated to the Appalachian Mountains over which I shall soon be traversing.

Sorry, but Freepers in Erwin, Flag Pond, Wolf Laurel, Mars Hill and Weaverville are eligible for free grocery delivery, if they are bona fide hard core SitRoom stalwarts.

Eight minutes to departure

[nicmarlo]

I will get a little t.v. soon....and by end of summer a second computer, lol....then we'll need another desk for the second computer (OMG...this IS ridiculous).

[sissyjane]

I have Windows Media as well. I'm missing out on all the fun with no Bag-cam. Poor me!
