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...

I think Levanthal will be up shortly. Fox has been with Greg because of where he is and what's happening with him right now.

Reuters - Five large explosions hit central Baghdad just after dawn. Bombing very fierce. Overnight bombing hit eastern approaches to the city. Now bombing southeast, southwest, and central Baghdad. Thick curtain of black smoke from southwest to northwest Baghdad. More oil trenches lit.

Who is this guy on with Shep right now? He just said "you mess with the best...you die like the rest!" He's all fired up. He also didn't have very nice things to say about the generals and military analysts on the other stations (he referred to them to Shep as "your so-called competitors" LOL)

if you listen really closely, often you can hear the steel rain of that a-10 gatling right after the groan.

Brian Kilmead made a comment this morning that if you were just getting up to ignore your morning paper. All the war news was already outdated.

Email off to FOX:
Every day of the Iraq war, a group at Free Republic has been watching the live webcam in Baghdad. There's a man who tends the camera...we call him Ahmed.

When things have calmed down, could you please have Ollie (or someone) seek out Ahmed and interview him? Tell him he took good care of our camera and we're grateful.

Thanks for your excellent coverage.
