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...

Yeah: we could have used a FReeper alarm system... I noticed several who were not there who would certainly have wanted to be (including you)... one or two had just said G'nite about the time things really started popping, too.

Last night, I couldn't get over the amount of traffic that can be seen on the Bag-Cam during "rush hour". If a liberating force were waging war in my city to free my country of an evil regime, I would think my boss would have employees stay home rather than going in to work at the cleaners/mechanic shop/restaurant/pharmacy/bakery--no time to make the donuts.

EXciting day here in Central Alabama. Our Sirens are getting more of a work out than Baghdad's. Currently under the 4th Tornado Warning since 3AM, and two more lines of big storms coming on the radar.. yehaw - springtime in the south.

1st Battalion 4th Marines. River crossing without bridge. People cheering, waving, and looting as Marines arrive in this section of Baghdad. Entire company crosses.

Those whacky marines. Playing in the water during a quagmire.

Sky News guy at Belfast discussing the disagreements over post-war Iraq and UN role. Talked about Jay Garner.

Oh, and in the middle of all this, Sky Flash: 2 guys found guilty of cheating on "Millionaire."

Looking at the picture on your post 2633, I would just like to comment on the furniture in the palace, which for all non-decorating types is FRENCH design! How appropriate!

Prayers to you, your wife, and your daughter-in-law, sir. Hopefully you will receive another call from him soon. I know that my anxiety about this war pales in comparison to your family's and other families who have loved ones fighting for our freedoms. Millions are praying for you all.

american forces shoot at any car or anything that gets near the US positions.

An American reporter needs to be fired. For the record...our military men and women are risking their lives to free the people of another nation and did more humanitarian good than all the pretentious pundits and NGOs have done for the Iraqi people. UN, BBC, CNN, Red Cross and Amnesty International, WH, Pentagon and CENTCOM press corps...show the least bit of gratitude and shut up while we take care of this mess!

I must disagree with BagCamAddict. ONLY accept news about your kin from official sources. There are some nasty creatures in this world who would think it great fun to use this forum to send a worried mom a FALSE report.

Very good point. (I just copyied Eastforker's initial request for info and made it big enough to be seen easily.)

Eastforker: I'm sure your Son will contact you as soon as he is able to get the word out. In chaotic times like that, I'm sure they don't realize how quickly the new gets back to us. So he is probably focused on his brothers and sisters, and on continuing to do his job. Be proud, and have faith that he is OK but very busy.
