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!

Is there a Vatican embassy in Baghdad, and if so, is it still manned?

[Texas Tea]

Awww...that was the sweetest thing. My hubby just stuck his head around the corner to tell me the Astros won and see if I needed anything. He's a keeper.

[Poser]

No Vatican embassy, but there is a Vatican Bank.

(OK sorry)

[oceanview]

I believe the two remaining open embassies are the Vatican and Russia.

[Tree of Liberty]

Thanks

Bah! CBS Bag-cam just went dead here.

[glock rocks]

LOL.

yes. bring food. iced tea would be nice, too.

but don't forget the food.

[Texas Tea]

CBS & NTV are both down? Ahmed, where are you?

[Redcloak]

CNN's dead too.

Palestine Hotel go boom?

[Carolina]

Holy smokes! I leave and come back to see we've been beamed into what quadrant? Or did we use the wormhole? I'm so confused....

Sky is showing Baghdad Bob with his speech....We have pounded them...cut to Greg Kelly's unit advancing in Baghdad...We have them circled....cut to Greg Kelly's unit shooting...etc.

Hysterical!!

[Texas Tea]

NTV still has sound

[glock rocks]

i read that three times thinking you were asking about the Vulcan Embassy in baghdad.

nevermind.

he's still dead, jim.

[pitinkie]

all are gone!

[knak]

made my house awful quiet

[pitinkie]

they are dead, jim.

[Fast5]

Both cams are down, sound still up, getting close to dawn, thinking someting is fixin to happen? mighty dark.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

The Seminoles never signed a treaty with the US gov't. We're still technically at war...

Do the Seminoles know this? Should we tell our neighbors? Every Saturday the Seminoles send a bus to the local mall to pick up unsuspecting Floridians and drive them to a casino....or so they say.

Is this series? If given a choice between Janet Reno and a Seminole "at war" - I'd choose the Seminole.

[POGIFFMOO]

How about:

There once was a man from Baghdad
Who killed thousands to get what he had.
But then came a Bush
And a shot in the tush.
And now we're not very sad.....

[JLS]

I heavily discount the chopper story. As far as I can tell he did not mention the date. When the original story of the farmer shooting down the chopper was floated the US side thought it was silly and odd. I think now we know why they floated the story of the farmer, they already had Saddam in the can saying that.

If I am wrong and he mentioned the actual date of that shootdown, I would agree we have evidence. The rest is non evidence to me. It show nothing one way or another.

[Nam Vet]

If he asks what sort of books you re interested in, tell him checkbooks. ;^)
