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...

[Chummy]

whoomp there it is

car alarm

[Tree of Liberty]

Yes, the German reporter (Jumpelt, I think) in Baghdad that goes on Fox in the afternoons reported it.

Col. Hunt doesn't have a good feeling about Baghdad. The enemy doesn't have anything to lose.

[goldstategop]

Perhaps Saddam fled disguised as an elderly peasant. ;-)

[commish]

good night all .. time for me to hit the rack.. have to be up in 5 hours .. Helping with the American Heart Walk tomorrow morning.

[Timeout]

Chick anchor: So if you're an Iraqi batallion commander right now, what are you doing?

Colonel Hunt: I'm filling up toilets!

[Tree of Liberty]

G'nite, commish

[TheLion]

Just the media talking heads are talking.

[Fledermaus]

Yep...now if he can get the cowardy GOP division to back him up and get it done.

I've been a foot soldier for years, I'm tired of watching my leaders run away waving white flags.

Let's get this economy moving, to hell with the enemy and their lies.

[Tree of Liberty]

'xactly

[nicmarlo]

Is that a joke????? : )

[section9]

For all intents and purposes, Iraqi regular broadcast television has been out of commission for three days, at least. The people have no freaking idea what is going on.

Most of them believed their government when they said that the Americans were stalled out at Najaf.

Now the American armored columns are rolling through the capitol on their expressways. This is a profound psychological shock and the relative ease (and I do mean relative-this could have been worse) of our entry makes Saddam look all wet.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[woofie]

Schroedinger's Rat?

I dont know that song...

[Timeout]

GOP Division....LOL!

[Tree of Liberty]

Nope, I heard it myself. He's said that kind of thing before, too.

[Timeout]

Nope. Verbatim.

[Chummy]

BagCam -- good bursts .. car alarm .. small arms fire

[Tree of Liberty]

the relative ease

Don't count your chickens...

[Franking]

I read that on Slate.com; the whole thing was priceless. Hard to tell what the spirit of the piece was. I suspect it was mean-spirited. Still loved it. Rummy makes way more sense than most "professional" writers.

I've taken to watching all his archived briefings on C-SPAN, put one on wen I get up and am reading FR and drinking coffee....

F

[Fledermaus]

I'm starting to think that is Achmed's car alarm going off. He usually turns it off pretty fast.

[TheLion]

Really sad about the 507th deaths. These people think we are a bunch of wimps because we don't execute them. We must really have them confused!
