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!

I liked it.

[amom]

quite a bit of activity on the green and square.

[An.American.Expatriate]

If it not too personal, why are you there?

Very Long Story (I could start a thread...)

Let's just say that, after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, I wanted to stay here and "experience" Free Europe - got married - 3 kids - mortgage - NO ESCAPE!!

[Cate]

I bet they couldn't drag Rick out of Iraq yet. He seems like he wants to be there until the end of all the conflict.

[STARWISE]

I'm on the CBS BagCam, and there are some figures at the base of palm tree in the foreground. Just as I clicked on, one was walking to the tree. They're all sprawled out under that tree, and they look to be clothed in black. Shortly after I downloaded, there were a couple of gun pops. They're making me nervous. Anyone else have a better resolution than I and can tell what's going on there?

[Nam Vet]

Many of the city reporters build sandbagged bunkers to film behind. If you are a soldier seeing a sandbagged bunker with a reflecting lens behind it......what would you do? Especially if you are getting incoming from that direction. We took the same cr*p from the press in VN. The idiots in that hotel should know the precarious position they are placing THEMSELVES in. I mourn their deaths, but I can recognize a responsible journalist vs a screaming socialist reporter with an adjenda. FOX has pros, many other organizations don't.

[Anamensis]

Did Shep just say we'd "screwed the pooch" in this country before?

[Tree of Liberty]

No. Like Rumsfeld said to the reporters: go out among the Iraqi people and let them tell you of their conditions under Saddam

[Tree of Liberty]

Yep. I did a double-take too

[sheikdetailfeather]

Is MSNBC cam the same place?

[STARWISE]

They're starting to move, and there was just another POP.

[Tree of Liberty]

The pigeon was just an early warning system. They've got a bunch of electronic gear for detecting it too, plus there's apparent intelligence that it's not going to be used in Baghdad. Hence, the drop in status to MOP-0 a few days ago.

[An.American.Expatriate]

As long as you are happy, thats all that matters.

That and the health of my children!

[Consort]

Both cams have the same view.

[Fledermaus]

6600? Is that all the damage you could do to the last thread?

Oh well, I left an hour before it officially ended myself.

[JLS]

Nothing wrong with living in Eurpoe. We elected Clinton too, so just because a couple of Euro countries have idiots for leaders is no big deal. Representative democracy can be messy.

[amom]

The folks sitting around have been there for quite awhile and don't seem to be up to anything. There are quite a lot of OUR guys moving around however. And I just heard another small round go off.

[golas1964]

Yep. Got my attention...

[An.American.Expatriate]

6600? Is that all the damage you could do to the last thread?

It was a slow news day - not much to talk about!
