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...
Of course, there's a lot of work to be done before that can happen!
The very same. Timeout pointed out that he resembles the William Hurt character in Broadcast News who got his news into his IFB or IFN (what is it again?) from Holly Hunter.
Pretty Chicken=Tom
That's not Pretty Chicken, that's Dr. Bob!! Dr. Bob made it to downtown Baghdad, up onto the top of the Palestine Hotel !! Wow, truely incredible.
Spec. Matthew Manzano, left, and Spec David Beebe, right work to free a baby sheep from a mud trench at a palace near Baghdad. The Soldiers were able to save 4 of the sheep from the mud but 2 had already died while try to get out.

So many heroes!
Rockefeller, now McCain...who's next, Hillary? This isn't right. Camera-hogs are the last folks the selfless troops need to see on FN this morning, imho. Ptui. Housecleaning time...bbl.
A few hundred meters outside the complex, where peasants say the "missile water" is stored in mammoth caverns, the Marine radiation detectors go "off the charts."
"It's amazing," said Chief Warrant Officer Darrin Flick, the battalion's nuclear, biological and chemical warfare specialist. "I went to the off-site storage buildings, and the rad detector went off the charts. Then I opened the steel door, and there were all these drums, many, many drums, of highly radioactive material."
(the rest of this is my ad lib)"So I went and opened one of the drums, and it was literally glowing green inside, filled with liquid, and in the bottom of the drum was a bar of pure uranium. So I reached down through the liquid and picked up the bar of uranium. I put it in my pocket so I could go show it to my commander. Then I went to another drum and opened it. Inside the drum was a suitcase. I removed the suitcase from the drum and set it on the ground. It had a combination lock, so I tried a few combinations and got it to pop open. Inside was a button that said "DANGER, don't push this button." So I pushed the button and...."
Kay Burley tried to bait him about seeing the American flag covering Saddam's statue. He wouldn't go there and talked instead about US and Britain shepherding the transition and not staying beyond that. Allowing Iraqis to shape their own government...hopes for constitutional framework and not through militia.
He's going back to be part of reconstruction. EXCELLENT!
