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...

Do we know this is Arnett? I'm just getting the audio but no people in the usual Baghcam view. This guy says he's been back and forth across the river. More than I can say for Mr. Chicken who was primping for his report on cam during the night. He whined that it was too dangerous "over there", so I don't guess he leaves the hotel.

[Jaded]

I thought all of the civilians left. Except for a handful of them. RG and Fedayeen living in someone else's home does not count for civilians. Mediots.

[Cboldt]

ABC. Figures. Well, on a technicality, I suppose we are planing on leaving at some point. We aren't taking a colony here. On the other hand, we're staying at least at the airport, and I suspect we are also staying at other select locations in the city. We have 24/7 air coverage with A-10's.

[Poser]

We aren't sure it's Arnett. It does sound like him but we saw nobody.

CNN DECLARES "All-Out War" AGAINST FOX NEWS

The strikes were CNN’s first military retaliation against FOX News in a rapidly escalating war over cable news domination and whether or not Paula Zahn is sexy, repugnant, or just plain forgettable. In a televised address aired on all CNN channels, General Isaacson did not say what further steps would be taken but announced a “war – a real war – against FOX," and said Roger Ailes had chosen "a strategy of insults."

"We are at war — it's either CNN or FOX," Isaacson told viewers.

FOX News, which recently scored its biggest ratings victory against CNN, accused CNN of supporting terror by putting Paula Zahn on air in the morning.

Said FOX chief Ailes: "It's like waking up to a dead raccoon in your bed. Scary stuff."

I'm not sure if it was him, but he did mention that it was 'exciting over there' but don't worry he won't go back again today, lol.

[justshe]

...MSNBC Dan Abrams has to admit that "President Bush's poll numbers are back over 70% today."

LOL! Did Abrams use those exact words? Has to admit?

Can i get a link to a good bag cam???

CBS BagCam (RealPlayer, encoded at 149Kbps)

[TomGuy]

The webcams are sort of facing southeast. Sometimes Achmed will move one around some (by hand).

[hobson]

The camera is facing west toward the area where the government buildings are located. The hotel is on the east side of the Tigris river.

[justshe]

Mediots.


GREAT word!

[BagCamAddict]

I'm worried about our guys... I have a background in chemical cleanups of soil and groundwater...

Those guys who are digging up the school where they had reports that something was buried under a concrete slab are not wearing respirators. One backhoe bucket through a drum and it would be real ugly real fast.

Can someone call Gen. Franks and let him know those guys should be in full gear when they're investigating UNKNOWNS ? ESPECIALLY when the unknown is a SUSPECTED chemical cache. Who has Gen. Franks' cell number??

[Spunky]

"Can i get a link to a good bag cam???"

At the beginning of all these threads they put up a list of links to all the cams.

Go to the beginning of the thread and check it out.

[MEG33]

Lots of shootin going on on my sound from MSNBC cam

[Cboldt]

Dog Translation Device coming soon <-- Link to FR thread

[retrokitten]

I'll get right on that. We're pretty tight.

[TomGuy]

Do we know this is Arnett?

I can't say positively, only that others have posted it was him. The voice does sound like him.

[Trust but Verify]

You should have been here about 3 a.m. this morning! Things were really hot!

Hey, Howlin, some of us have to sleep! I was SHOCKED when I checked in at 5:30 CDT and saw how many posts were on the new daily thread! FReepers never sleep!

[epluribus_2]

I hear the wind gusting - could be muffled blasts, tho.

[StarFan]

Do you have a link to Arnett speaking on camera?
