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!

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...

*checks in on this thread, doing some last minute cleaning before mother in law's arrival tomorrow for a week long visit (no mother in law jokes, I actually get along with her very well)*

[BagCamAddict]

To congratulate the Iraqi people on their Independence Day go here...

Well sure... if you want to be placed on a terrorist watch list. What is the source of that list? Who are they?

Con Coughlin, "Let's not forget that Saddam is a realist...Saddam will not be surprised to see that Baghdad is pulling down his statue...He is really popular in Tikrit."

Well, he apparently wasn't too popular in Kirkuk. It fell without a shot being fired....and they pulled his statue down. Kirkuk is fairly close to ... Tikrit.

kofi alert on cnn

There are whole bunch of threads about it from yesterday. It looks like it was on Fox News with John Gibson. Here's a link to one of the threads:

[Poser]

Ahh! The Lovely Heather! Not Jennifer, but not bad.

[Jackie-O]

Some one will surely come up with video/dvd with footage of this historic event!
I have a dvd of Dessert Storm at home that someone gave me a few mos. ago that I haven't watched yet. I'll check it out and see who made it. (I think it's Time/Life)

[Daniel Ramsey]

Off topic here,maybe, too lazy to post this as a headline of sorts, maybe its of some interest about the news of the Concorde supersonic passenger jet is goinf to be retired permanently this year, France getting a little puckered up in the stern aft quarters about something? LOL

[Jackie-O]

LOL!!! (knew that one would be mor catchy)

[GraniteStateConservative]

The part of Basra where Hussein built a palace is very nice.

[Poser]

If I seem obsessed with how people look, there is a good reason. I have the TV muted while I listen to the Glenn Beck radio program. I can see them, but I can't hear them. Consequently, how they look is paramount.

[retrokitten]

Willie Wanker...and the Chocolate Factory.

LMAO! That sounds like a porno title!

[Severa]

Wow I hadn't heard about that yet. *L* Damn. That explains why they're so damn pissy. (I really couldn't put it any better than you did)

[angelwings49]

Good morning FReeper friends!
Good morning Achmed!

And especially...

Good Morning Spec Ops Guy!
Good Morning Ceegar Guy!

(Thanks for posting my heroes' pictures early on in the thread :)

[Timeout]

This says it all:

Bless their peapickin' little hearts!

(Now THAT really dates me...does anyone but me remember Tennessee Ernie Ford?)

[Daniel Ramsey]

Hey I really really hope there becomes a detailed DVD set of the war, proceeds to the families of the coalition troops killed. Get to work freepers, LOL

[BagCamAddict]

Dental records...interesting yes, but have we been able to access/investigate that site that was bombed on Mon.? Has anyone heard?

Radio told me yesterday that we have SpecOps guys in there digging now. Don't know how accurate that is.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Isn't the Bush/Blair speech to the Iraqi's being broadcast right now in Iraq? Why isn't it being shown by at least Fox? Seems like the reaction of the Iraqi people to its broadcast would be newsworthy.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I know how you felt! When we rescued Jessica, I went to Walgreens to get more video tapes. People were walking around shopping and I wanted to shout to all of them what had happened.

[mhking]

Kofi w/ brief remarks on CNN:

"There's no functioning government in Iraq....El Baradei and Blix should go back to Iraq as soon as possible....it is their mandate to find and secure the removal of WMD..."

Feh.
