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...

Centcom briefing from Gen. Renuart is going to be replayed at 8:46 EST on CSPAN. The cool audio briefing from Gen. Moseley ("we're not softening them up, we're killing them") follows at 9:55 EST.

FYI.

Neither FoxNews and MSNBC have shown the Bagdad live cam scene [and they have more feeds than we have]. I wonder whether all the feeds out of Badgad are "down" for the interim.

Well, I was over slumming at the Washington Post and they have a pretty good write-up of what Baghdad was like "the morning after". Intriguing, though, was THIS paragraph:
As fighting raged on the city's outskirts, the government managed to organize a noisy parade of police cars careening through downtown, their sirens blaring. They fired rifles in the air as they passed the Palestine Hotel, where most journalists are staying. But the streets they drove were deserted. [LINK FOR ARTICLE]
LOL! The Poleeeeze Parade made the front page of the WashPost!

And the Situation Room was there!

I think doing medivac all day with severely injured and at least 1 or 2 dead young men would get to anyone.

AND, we were there earlier!

It is interesting to know that most of the streets are deserted.
