Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.

[raising shot of fine whiskey] Here's to Baghdad Bob. Funny as hell while he lasted. Cheers!

[clink of a frozen shotglass of Tito's handmade] Hear, hear!

[Cate]

Ok, GOPyouth, if this statue pipe exists, where does your mouth go? hahaha... please don't answer this question.

[two23]

"Just watched Rick Leventhal .. he is just so darn cute .. LOL

He's so---uh, pixelated!

[GOPyouth]

I'ma poe out summa my O.E. in honor of Baghdad Bob.

[MEG33]

Tank on cam in circle.CBS

[Mo1]

Shy News Headling is reporting Kurdish Sources: Kurds seize 2 town NR Kirkuk

[JLS]

Bob might be able to pull of an insanity defense. It would be great to see him testify in his own defense and the cross using those tapes to bring up the issue of the credibility of the witness.

[GOPyouth]

lol I was thinking about that. If he has his hand raised up like the statue that was torn down, then you can prolly toke on that. lol

[Cate]

There it goes..

[spectr17]

I guess I'm the sentimental type. I really wanted that statue to come down in a big splosion. The on scene commanders probably wanted to let the EOD guys demo it but the problem of keeping the frenzied onlookers back may have been daunting. Just as they would lit the fuse some scmuck would probably run out to be the 1st one on TV and BLAMO!! most of him would be stuck up in the trees.

[umbagi]

I bet somebody somewhere in Iraq has a mini-Saddam statue pipe.

That's it! Our ticket to the big time!

OTOH, I'm afraid our AG would shut us down when the first one rolled off the line...

[JLS]

Boy this guy on Fox right now is pretty weak.

[Mo1]

That tank is about the only traffic I see in Bagdad ..

[wolficatZ]

Dennis Miller on Conan tonight

[Consort]

Looks like more than one tank.

[MEG33]

Ongoing battle in Mosque on the Tigris River.Saddam hiding??

[Cate]

Who would his attorney be? Shapiro? J. Cochran wouldn't do it. Shapiro or the guy that defended Sandra Murphy in the Vegas trial. He had grey hair... hmm... brain is very tired...

[Consort]

A recap of Miller's jokes was posted earlier.

[spectr17]

yeah, the Feds just raided Tommy Chong for selling pipes.

Bummer dude.

[Fracas]

Laurie Dhue and Bob Sellers are mopping the floor with some jerk from a think tank...he wants us to involve the UN so we don't look like a bully and inflame the Mideast.

Laurie in essence told him to take a hike. LOL.
