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...

Just heard that the die-hards are in Saddam City area.

And the natives are happy about it too.

Did you see the reports of II MEF "uncloaking" north of Baghdad?

[steveegg]

And the Marines are about to take care of those dead-enders. Seems they're trying to use SA-7s in an anti-personnel/armor role rather ineffectively.

[Severa]

Son of a bitch I just saw a friggin horse drawn carriage on CBS Bag cam!

[dsw]

Arnott showing missile attack on marine position - LIVE - marines dont seem to concerned. East Baghdad. Saddam city area, I think.

[CurlyBill]

Has anyone heard from General McCaffrey lately?

[Quilla]

I believe this will answer your question. Note the link to the video.

[TheExploited]

There is a Snow Storm in Chicago. Cubs opener is cancelled. No take me out to the ball game. No Bleacher Bums. Much sadness here. What was that idiot Algore saying about global warming?

[TomGuy]

Is that a webcam? Link?

[socal_parrot]

Anyways, it didn't hurt him, did it?

I was suprised it didn't. The story at the time was that the reporter he "bumped" was holding the parking spot for someone who was bringing in lunch to her crew. Although I like Shep, it makes you wonder about the differnce between the public and private persona.

[Severa]

Snow storm?? Geez how late in the year do you guys usually get snow? Where I'm from (Louisville KY) the latest I've ever seen snow flurries was Derby Day...

[A. Morgan]

Is it still snowing? I thought it stopped... at least we didn't get 8 inches of that stuff.

[steveegg]

Playing NOW on one of the MSNBC web channels

[FoxGirl]

Thanks for the link. Shep, Shep, Shep... HA

[Timeout]

Hey, neighbor! I'm down here in that "big city" down I-65 on the Gulf.

If those twisters show up, be sure to do a "Richard Engle"---duck under the bed!

Anyone else watching this incredible footage from Dr. Bob? Amphibious vehicles wading the Tigris!

[hispanarepublicana]

Son of a bitch I just saw a friggin horse drawn carriage on CBS Bag cam!

Husband saw one being used for looting in Basrah this a.m.!

[steveegg]

And Hizdizhonor wants to make Wrigley an official landmark so the Cubs will have to continue cancelling home openers.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Morning, Quilla. We don't usually get the Brit CENTCOM briefings...paid only enough attention to get most of this most excellent quote:

Brian Burridge, Brit Forces Commander: "The US advance on Baghdad is something that military historians.. will pour over for years to come..they will examine the audacity, the sheer brilliance..."

Good to know that a few of the best BRIT traditions survived the 90s as well. (^:

[InShanghai]

You brought up the Cubs & I remembered a post from earlier today about Baghdad Bob, the Iraqi Minister of [Dis]Information and his statement about the enemy not being in Baghdad:

"Cripes, make him the colorman for the Chicago Cubs! Can you imagine?"

"The 30-time World Champion Chicago Cubs are 132-2 so far this season and have slaughtered all their opponents. They will surely be victorious before God, and you can quote me verbatim: The Yankees are committing suicide at the Ivy-covered walls!"

LOL!

[Timeout]

Ruh Roh...Kofi Annan.

I wonder if they'll ask him what he thought of Baghdad Bob calling the U.N. "prostitutes" last night?!

[Nam Vet]

I didn't see that. Thanks for the 'heads up'. That's the main Sunni area of Baghdad. South of them is the Shia area. To the North of them is the Kurd area. Payback will be BIGTIME in Baghdad.
