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!

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...

[spectr17]

All that's missing is the "Just Toppled" sign

[buickmackane]

Has anyone determined the true identity of Belly Girl?

[BagCamAddict]

But did you see the report on Fox how the arab media is playing all this? They are still showing the horrors of war...

On Nightline, they showed footage that was shown today on Al Jazeera, some other Arab channel, and Abu Dhabi. And they showed a translated caption of what the various channel were saying. I don't remember the first two, but Abu Dhabi's translated take on it was "The entire Iraqi Regime should commit suicide for getting Iraq and all of it's people into this war."

[GOPyouth]

Yeah, her last name Mrs. Gopyouth.

[cgk]

Caption: "An Iraqi man tries to show his support for President George W. Bush by screaming jubilantly 'Four more years!' by raising the three fingers he has left. Regrettably, the majority of his fingers were hacked off by Saddam & Sons."

[spectr17]

Low blow ref, low BLOW!!!

[oceanperch]

I noticed it was all our guys could do to keep them from doing that on the tanks. Maybe under a new regime they will ride in trains, planes and automobiles not on them.

[cgk]

Personally, I'm bummed (well not really, but kinda). The first day I open up the Baghdad cam and I GO TO BED BEFORE THE TANKS ROLLED INTO THE SCENE! Sheesh. Ah well, thanks to TiVO I got to watch it on Fox 'n Friends again, and again, and again... :)

[cgk]

"The one they called Ed said he was chaning his name & the reporter asked him what he was chaning it to & he said "Bush"!!"

I heard elsewhere on FR, that ED lost his job for attending the impromptu celebration?!?!

[SendShaqtoIraq]

Um, I'm not sure what this was when you posted the link, but now it's only about the technology being used by the embeds

[momofsixgirls]

probably worked for some whiny *** liberal, no doubt!

[buickmackane]

"Ah-ah-ah-ah, stayin' a-l-i-i-i-i-v-e!"

[blondee123]

Thanks much!

[cgk]

I saw that, but I also saw the story on FNC about the PO'd Muslims who just realized that "Al Jazeera lied to us!"

FNC. Fair. Balanced.

:)

(<-----still trying to figure out why the Muslims who think this War is all a "Hollywood movie" are blaming us for killing an Al Jazeera reporter in Baghdad when we aren't REALLY there).

[GOPyouth]

I just know caught your Floyd post. heh heh :) I've got Dogs playing now from his In the Flesh concert from a year or so ago. Oustanding show.

[blondee123]

I heard elsewhere on FR, that ED lost his job for attending the impromptu celebration?!?!

I heard that too, really sad!

[blondee123]

Yeah, her last name Mrs. Gopyouth.

You WISH!! LOL

[oceanperch]

God sounds like my schedule. Those long days on the road turn into marathon sleep to rejuvenate the brain chemistry.

I always wondered why someone would induce brain tweeking with drugs when working/driving a 17-23 hr. fueled with caffiene will virtually freak your brain out all the same.

[spectr17]

Since Dreschum never finished the book on how to divine water he never did amount to much.

[blondee123]

True, how could we have killed any reporter, since it's just a hollyweird movie???
