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...

[Tree of Liberty]

Republican Guard reinforcements?

[Daniel Ramsey]

More booms on CBS cam, those alarms are gonna kill the cars batteries, LOL

[Mo1]

More car alarms ..

[Chummy]

Mrs. Chummy was saying the same thing as you: where in the world are all those people going? Do they actually believe Baghdad Bob's line to not believe that Coalition Forces are at hand?

[xp38]

Isn't that a line from Butch Cassidy?

[MEG33]

Boom! coming back from wrong road to take during tank battle?

[nicmarlo]

Fox on t.v.; AP here: 8 Bodies Found in Raid Were U.S. Soldiers

[bornintexas]

Hopefully someone is checkin' those cars out.

[Timeout]

Love that movie.

[Conservababe]

The residents of Baghdad are not isolated from any access to information, other than Iraqi media.

They have radios and phones. They just choose not to believe what they learn, methinks.

[Tree of Liberty]

For the owners' sake, that's better than a .50BMG SLAP round killin' the batteries.

[Howlin]

Here it is, the Live Thread Ping for Day 17!!!!

[TheLion]

The music that Fox plays when they show those that have made the "Ultimate Sacrifice" is so haunting....don't know if that is the right word....maybe moving.

[Daniel Ramsey]

The more video I see of the outskirts of Baghdad the more it reminds me of the outer parts of Houston, TX, kinda desolate but lots of pockets of industries, more booms, more car alarms.

[Texas Tea]

I've been watching the pedestrians on the cam and they don't even flinch when there is a BIG boom anymore. They must be de-sensatized.

[Tree of Liberty]

damn

[xp38]

Yeah well today Day 17 may be Terminator III Judgement Day II :)

[nicmarlo]

As far as the crying and the visit? I'm reporting that; they'd have to be visited before telling the media; they're not just going to receive a phone call telling them their son/daughter's been killed....natural reaction after learning this is to cry. And if Pentagon is releasing this info. "early saturday," the families had to have been told on Friday.....

[Timeout]

The cars on the left side of the roundabout look like lowriders on my screen....bumping up and down while they're rolling. Cheech & Chong in Baghdad!

[Chummy]

I've noticed the same, too, Texas Tea. There were a couple that hopped into a car that pulled over, another subwoofer-shaking boom, and nothing, they just drove off.
