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...

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

The one thing I hope that happens soon is that we shoot those morons keeping the oil trench fires going.

[BigFLPanhandleDude]

Would this be considered the city center?

[Chummy]

..don't think it's Wathiq Square -- no mosques there. There's a mosque on the southeast quad of the rotary.

[Mo1]

Works for me

[this_ol_patriot]

I trying to think of a good way to describe what we did. We just kept pushing until the fragile shell cracked. The Pentagon played the media like a fiddle and the Iraq Regime swallowed the media stories hook, line and sinker. We KNEW the Regime could not face reality from the first war and would buy the media crap from the beginning. This is one for the books. Remember Arnett..the plan has failed, I hoped the Regime is looking for him.

It's not over but it's getting close.

[thedugal]

This is memorex. Live cam my butt.

[Anomaly in Illinois]

OMG the Fox parodies are a riot! I bookmarked it for later.

Thanks.

[Howlin]

Per CNN: "U.S. Central Command: We are IN and we are staying PUT!"

[Drago]

>What are some of the landmarks around Wathiq Square, Drago? Where is it on this map?

See where Tigris makes a big curve with Baghdad University in middle of curve? East of there near where it says "Al Alwiyah" on main red road.

[nicmarlo]

The Pentagon played the media like a fiddle and the Iraq Regime swallowed the media stories hook, line and sinker

The stupid media swallowed it, too.

[Fledermaus]

I agree, I think Rummy and others played the left wing media like a harp.

They knew that report "on background" and use "senior Pentagon sources" and run with it.

I'll bet good money they even knew what to leak to what journalist and who would write what.

I hope they give us the list after the war is over so we can have a good laugh at their expense!

[MEG33]

Well I've watched some pretty good anti aircraft fire on it.

[Tree of Liberty]

stupid media

That's redundant, and you repeat yourself, too :)

[thedugal]

the NTV real player bag cam is looping a tape from Reuters.

[Howlin]

I agree, I think Rummy and others played the left wing media like a harp.

And, boy, are they going to be hacked off.

Look at all that is happening and NBC, CBS, and ABC aren't even covering this!

And CNN seems to have been obsessed with burning tanks the last two nights.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yep, they've got some good ones. Seems to have a liberal slant, though!

[nicmarlo]

a half a dozen police cars must have just screamed through the round about.....I still hear the sirens....more coming now, yept......lots more police with sirens coming right now.

[abner]

Are you watching the CBS live feed?

Why are 99% of the cars white?

What are the sirens I wonder?

I saw a small cavalcade of white cars and the lead car had a flag on it. I wonder what that was.

[TexKat]

Is it the suicide bombers, martrys for Saddam. If so, I hope we assist them with their mission. TAKE THEIR ARSES OUT ON SITE!!

[TheLion]

"Thanks, I like to jump on my high horse every so often."

I love it! I wish our leadership would lay it to the left and quit trying to appease them.
