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...

[atomic conspiracy]

"Give me the proof that the United State are not as totalitarian than Iraq and let me the right to speak here! (First Amendement?)"

Sheesh, don't they teach logic or grammar in Quebec? As the accuser you have the burden of proof. Even so, the fact that your hero Ramsey Clark has not yet been hanged is compelling evidence that the USA is in no way comparable to the Saddam thugocracy you have sold your soul to defend. The First Amendment does not give you unrestricted access to the private forum of your choice. Only a totalitarian propagandist would pretend that it does, but that much is transparently obvious. Nor does it give you the right to an audience or the right to be taken seriously. Your concern for Iraqi civilians is a pathetic smokescreen. Do you not know how obvious that is? You are objectively in favor of the continuation of the Saddam regime, your authoritarian pronouncements to the contrary notwithstanding; you and the rest of the dictator shielding hypocrites are complicit in his crimes. You sound like Joseph Goebbels circa 25 April, 1945.

Your whole world is collasping before your eyes. Alberta and Ontario have already risen in revolt against the appeasement policy of the F.R.O.G (Franco-Red Occupation Government) in Ottawa. Your days of living off the taxes of honest working people in Canada are over. Your empire of Liberal moochers is doomed.

[Chummy]

I think I've my bearings now. There's an industrial area -- see there's another smoke burst (oil should be steadier) -- off to the right of the cam image.

[TexKat]

Nothing against the reporters but don't the war reports from Jordan seem useless?

Jordan is trying to keep all their bases covered. Afterall it was King Abdullah that gave GWB an ear full on his visit to GWB's ranch in Texas. Jordan is keeping a low profile probably on the request of the US and for its own safety.

[nicmarlo]

whump...whump...whump, of arty in the background just sound Wicked Sweet?

who's arty?

[this_ol_patriot]

Sky News: US Military at least 20 tanks inside Baghdad.
No plans to pullback fron the centre.
2 Rep Guard brigades ordered to centre.

[Texas Tea]

That's Ahmed and Norm

[wolficatZ]

Those cheering clowns on the trucks are going straight to their deaths unless they are smart enough to surrender.

[Cultural Jihad]

MSNBC: Dana Lewis reporting from "edge of Karbala" ... US pushing into city...

[Fledermaus]

Achmed and Habib just on..."so, are we still getting paid"?

"Naw, let's just get our stuff and take off...I don't want to get hit by a missile".

[MEG33]

I think this is not a time to relax.More lives will be lost.I pray God's comfort for the loved ones of this man who died for my freedom and safety.

[Howlin]

Are you watching CBS cam?????

[BigFLPanhandleDude]

Most definitely ours

[Chummy]

Perhaps that's what Baghdad Bob referred to as "new" and "beautiful". If you ask him, of course.

[Drago]

On CBS Baghcam...is that "Wathiq Square" we are looking at? I am looking at this map:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/baghdad_nima_2003.jpg
and am wondering if that is it.

[this_ol_patriot]

Yes alert as always, there is more to be done but we are on our way and God go with us.

[alameda]

Good one... I'm too tired to be that sharp.

[Cultural Jihad]

Yes! The spokesman said: "They are not coming out. They are in Baghdad." Apparently it has been in the plan for weeks.

[Mo1]

Yes it was on the CBS Cam

[nicmarlo]

doesn't have the consistency of oil smoke, and its ebbing and flowing almost to the rhythm of the --- MILITARY TRUCK SIGHTING ANOTHER ANOTHER ANOTHER

Okay....so from bombs or tanks? Ah, there's Ahmed talking now on the balcony, lol.

[Pro-Bush]

Give me the proof that the United State are not as totalitarian than Iraq

The Iraqi government has trained children as young as 10 to fight through ambushes, sniping, and terrorist-type operations.

Ashbal Saddam or Saddam's Lion Cubs that was formed after the 1991 Gulf War defeat. There are an estimated 8,000 members in Baghdad alone now.

Here is your proof. I think you are ignorant to what is really happening.
