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 Null and Void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, Fledermaus for his 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, Belly Girl...

american reporter continues (we dont know who she is)"seeing and hearing low flying aircraft (boom) - quite a lot of activity, even machine gun fire - Iraqis are not releasing casualty figures....no longer as journalists permitted to visit hospital because of number of iraqi military wounded. Minister of info showed up at Palestine hotel today -that is where they are functioning - we cant know about the rest of the government - lot of iraqis have been trying to leave - american forces shoot at any car or anything that gets near the US positions.

[prairiebreeze]

gotta run already this morning

check back later

[BagCamAddict]

Eastforker's son is in the 2nd Brigade Comm Center that was attacked by an Iraqi missile this morning.

Anyone with any information on this incident, please let Eastforker know immediately.

Thank you.

[steveegg]

Shep broke into the CENTCOM briefing to say that Al Jazeera was carrying the briefing live. Shock and awe for the Arab people. (^:

And about 1,000,000 robes suddenly had the need to be washed early.

[InShanghai]

an index to these threads would be an outstanding project. Few word description of an event, then link to the right day and post where the report first appears.

Now that would be a very handy thing wouldn't it? Those of us that have to read through a million posts to get an update would love to have something like that!

[dsmtoday]

"Nosecone art" from nose of destroyed Iraqi airlines plane.

[AppyPappy]

Did we capture the Presidential residence or the new palace?

[AFPhys]

Oh, one other thing: I spent some time during the height of the festivities over at DUh, expecting them to getting some thrills in... LOL...

The place was literally as quiet as a morgue - no one over there was in sight - I guess they all have their tails between their legs ...

[Cboldt]

Most likely, sad information will get to eastforker most quickly through official channels. Good news travels a bit more slowly. ANd the old adage, "no news is good news," is apropos.

[Timeout]

Did you see that on MSNBC? The troops were trying to break through an ornate set of doors. Foot didn't work. Sledge hammer didn't do it. Finally, a Bradley pulls up and SLAMS through the door! (That worked)

[dsmtoday]

Tank that blew up Saddam horse statue.

[retrokitten]

That is so amazing!! If only I could find a way to work, sleep, and FReep at the same time.

[steveegg]

Did we capture the Presidential residence or the new palace?

Sounds like the main Presidential palace on the river, and they're still there (turn on Fox News NOW!)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for the link to FNC E mail.I Wonder would they try to contact our daughter in law first?

I would think so, officially. FoxNews's Ben Johnson, FOX satellite engineer, could do another detailed report from the site. (hint, hint..FoxNews) One thing we can say for sure, your son's a member of an awesomely capable group, with the best air support, Medivacs and expert medics nearby.

[GreyWolf]

about 1,000,000 robes suddenly had the need to be washed early.

You mean washed period!

[Fitzcarraldo]

She is afraid to leave baghdad. she says "they" are shooting at cars - even if marked with TV logo.

I thought war correspondents were supposed to have guts.

[Jackie-O]

I heard Shep say this am that the tank that blew up Saddam's statue was named "Courtesy of the United States"

[dsmtoday]

Iraqi Medina Division HQ

[steveegg]

That too.

[dsw]

she continues - dont know who she is - but she seems like an american talking to a british audience - she says "petrol" and "lorries" even though she is American -so she knows she is speaking to a UK or European audience.

She claims she is now being censored and disses her censor and says he does not know what he talking about.
