Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - 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 brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

Bumb for a Free Iraq.

[Cate]

Its 10 pm here.... watching the Rick and Shep show.

[Paradox]

Ok, pet peeve time. I am fairly certain that the correct pronounciation of "cache" is CASH, not cashAY. Reporters and soldiers are getting it wrong, or who knows, I could be wrong I suppose...

[JLS]

I disagree with Fred Barnes. I do not think the Hotel should have been off limits to the tank if it thought it was taking fire from there or spotters were there.

I think the journalist were idiots to not understand that they should not put weapon or spotter looking things on tanks. But as I certainly feel sorry for the families of everyone who lost a loved one. Heck I basically agree with the Labourite minister who said in question times that he did not want to see the innocent killed or for that matter the guilty. Other than Saddam and a few others I agree with him.

And of course the thing with the tank is moot. If you look on the map as the Brit journalist said, no way that tank hit the east side of that hotel. No use mortar could have either if I understand parabolas.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Can anyone re-cap the events of the last 7 hours?

[DaveManley]

[MEG33]

G night!

[Jaded]

GREAT job!! Love the SpecOps guy.

[Brian1250]

no traffic on the Baghdad cam

[Conservababe]

We are winning. They are losing.

[Unknown Freeper]

I thought i was the only one being annoyed by that. One of the morning show guys did that the other day but someone corrected him.

[Nam Vet]

"...LOL I think I've seen most of them begin. "

Join the happy crowd!

[amom]

Good morning to you and THANKS for the new thread. :-)

[Cate]

Sorry, I can't fill in the blanks... I've been at my neighbors tole painting vines on her kitchen wall. Her kids were all home and watching 'their' shows so I didn't get to see the news. I am now an advocate for 24 hour a day school, 365 days a year. hahha... just kidding.

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL, Kent the Pigeon is no more

[sheikdetailfeather]

Recap attempt: Iraqis love us for liberating them and ride statue down street in Baghdad. The world watches and some are just getting in touch with reality. Rumsfeld says it's not over yet and Syria has ignored his warnings. Saddam and all of his gang are resurrected again for the fifteenth time. Snipers here and there. Kent the pigeon died (R. Leventhal said a dog got it this morning.)

[amom]

Oh poor Kent. RIP.

[Tree of Liberty]

Is that stuff on the mustache and cheek what I think it is?

[Cate]

I wonder if they'll have a ceremony for the pigeon.
