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...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

CBS Radio News: No word on the severity of the 4 Marine casualties. "Looting is out of control". (No, it isn't.) Red Cross is upset that a hospital has been looted.

Knowing that the Iraqi people are looting the bad guys, anyone doubt that this "hospital" was something more? CENTCOM..there are ~125 hospitals in greater Baghdad.

"If your set has an earphone jack.....there ya go...'

Set is across the room and my husband would get tangled up in the line when he gets up at night, if I ran an ear phone that far.;-)

[BagCamAddict]

Previous post mentioned possible battle with 23 dead Marines...

The initial report is 23 "Casualties." Casualties includes both KIA and wounded. Easy to have a heart attack when high casualty numbers are reported until you remember that it includes wounded too. And this report is somewhat "old" news... at least 12 hours old because I saw it on Nightline last night. In that report, they said only 1 KIA out of all the casualties.

[Carolina]

Thanks. Never fails that I learn something new everyday here at FR.

[MEG33]

I was napping and woke up to news of suicide bombing.The German reporter said 4 dead ,the crawl 4 injured, the cam NTV said 1 dead 3 injured. Sad news indeed.

[Carolina]

Looting is out of control

Feh. Did they also use "power vacuum" in the report.

Ahahahahahaha! Someone just asked Ari a question with that.

[retrokitten]

ABC radio just said 4 injured. Must be lots of confusion going on down there.

[Carolina]

Question about planting WMDs.

Ari: this is nonsense. I don't deal in conspiracy theories.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Rush Limbaugh: "The left is complaining because these people are looting and must not be ready for freedom, therefore. The last time there was looting was in the White House!"

[ican'tbelieveit]

Or maybe the normal people couldn't get treated at these facilities because they weren't Ba'ath Party members, etc. I could see lashing out at them for denying medical care.

[MEG33]

That's really not nice!Aaaiii

[Carolina]

Who's nominating who will be at this meeting [with future leadership]

Ari: opportunity for post-Saddam Iraq sponsored by coalition.,,this is the beginning of the Iraqi people working with liberty for their own future...we still don't have a date for it...we're working on it...

Who's nominating who comes to this...UN?

Ari: SecGen will be welcome to come. Invitations will be coming from Tommy.

How is this process put forward?

Ari: this is ongoing...[Ari not saying who and why]

[Mrs.Liberty]

To paraphrase a soldier who spoke to Rick Levanthal last night:

"When 90% of the people are ruled by the 10%, and the 10% get overturned by the 90%, payback is a bitch. (The only exact quote is the payback is a bitch part!)

[Spunky]

"Leave off the "http://"

I did and still when I put it in my web browser it automatically puts an http:// on it anyway.

Help! What am I doing wrong?

[CurlyBill]

I'll bet Bill wishes that he was in Baghdad so he could grab more goodies!

[retrokitten]

LOL! The idea still comes across. That's great!

[Mrs.Liberty]

I'll bet Bill wishes that he was in Baghdad so he could grab more goodies!

You mean furnishings and stuff, right? ;o)

[TomGuy]

FoxNews clarifying the suicide bombing: "some" fatalities.
