Day 27

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.

Hey Timeout -- sorry it took so long to reply. I was reading another article:

Hundreds of Seriously Wounded US Soldiers in German Hospital:
http://www.sf-frontlines.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=194&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

As for BagCams:
I found one that was working, but shortly after I pulled it up, my AOL connection puked on me. I haven't tried it yet since I signed back on. But here is the link:
http://www.webcamsue.nl/war/

Once you get there, you'll find tons of links on the left side. I'm going to pull it up now so I can tell you exactly which one to click on. But in case it boots me, I'm sending this post first. Give me a minute to send the next post with the correct link to click.

Ok, once you're on the MOAWW site (The Mother of All War Websites):

There is a section called "Webcams" -- I believe the one that says Baghdad was working for me earlier.

I don't know if any of the others are working tonight or not, but in the past, I have been able to get these to work on that website also, down further on the list:

NTV Stream 2
Abu Dhabi
CBS
MSNBC 2

I've tried a few others (CNN, CNBC, SkyTv, etc., but the ones above were the most interesting for me.)

sounds like democrats in training

[BagCamAddict]

MSNBC-2 is working. Showing Baghdad, reporter doing live report on Abu Abbas right now.

CBS has CBS logo right now.

Does anyone have a BagCam for CentCom right now?

[BagCamAddict]

MSNBC reporter doing live report says:

50,000 AK-47s found in hospital in Tikrit, some still in their plastic wrappings.

Iraqis are returning items they took in looting sprees, at the request of religious leaders.

Abu Abbas' capture is proof that Saddam was harboring terrorists.

[BagCamAddict]

CentCom up on CBS cam now.

[BagCamAddict]

Would some people please monitor MSNBC-2, and NTV and any others to transcribe any live journalist reports for the next hour, and post whatever is being reported by other journalists? It seems like alot of reporters file their reports at the same time that CentCom is up.

Soldiers Girl will cover CentCom for us, if others will track the other BagCams... please? Thanks!

Good morning, all. Hope y'all got your taxes done without too much pain.

Gen. Brooks up on C-Spam.

Regarding Mosul... I read somewhere that there was an anti-American demonstration there yesterday that had 20,000 people involved. Does that mean it was really about 2,000 people? Or can anyone confirm the 20,000 number?

[Carolina]

Mornin'! Gen. Brooks just said that looting has dramatically dropped!

[The Wizard]

they had a couple thousand folks, but their idea of protesting is screaming and violently waving their fists for a while, and then going home....

[BagCamAddict]

You lucky dog!! I'm jealous, as I sit here with my dial-up modem and no cable TV. :-(

[The Wizard]

fewer and fewer reporters at Centcom

Morning all..Trying to get the coffee on and wake up!

[mystery-ak]

.......fewer reporters at Centcom, war off the front page of my newspaper, and this daily thread is getting less hits....signs.

There's something biblical about the clerics and tribal leaders meeting in a big tent. I was amazed at the preponderance of Western dress.
