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!

Saddam in Mosque?.....boy, this could get interesting. Thought you were turning in...lol!

[Cate]

Nah, but there is a store in town that sells the best hot sauce selection in town. Unfortunately, it also sells 'ornaments' and vases that could be used for other things. So if I buy anything in there, its always cash. Oh, and I never park within a block of the place. But you just can't beat the sauces. I asked the gourmet kitchen place in the mall to carry the line, but so far they haven't.

[umbagi]

if i turn down the brightness on rooftop bagcam, can see some heavy smoke rising in that general direction

Shhhhhhhhhh!!!

Me and GOPyouth just testing this new idea we came up with!

[overtaxed_canadian]

Meanwhile, back to the stark reality of the situation at hand. It ain't over yet folks. Rest in Peace, Marine.

Fighting flares up in Baghdad

US marines are searching a mosque in Baghdad where they believe Saddam Hussein may be hiding. The marines came under attack - probably by special Republican Guard units - as dawn broke along the Tigris river, the BBC's David Willis says.

One marine was killed in a half-hour battle, says our correspondent, who is travelling with the marines

[spectr17]

10 bucks says he drops it.

Freepers rock !!

[Cate]

We would bomb the Mosque, right? If its remotely possible that Saddam's in there, we'd surely take the whole building down.

[Fracas]

Must be something serious if we're attacking, searching or going anywhere near a Mosque!

I think Saddam is dead, or incapacitated. Might be WMD in there, though. What do you think?

[TheLion]

That is good currency!

[dfwgator]

In any movie when you see someone carrying a window across the street, inevitably a car comes crashing through it.

Unfortunately, it also sells 'ornaments' and vases that could be used for other things. So if I buy anything in there, its always cash.

Cops' wives know better than the dopers (I'm an ex-LEO myself)...

We've got some great gift shops in Austin that are the same way, and we never use credit cards there :-).

[Mo1]

I was ... Sky News Headline is reporting ... AFP: 1 killed and 13 hurt as U.S. Marines face resistance in Bagdad

Oh please let this be wrong .. prayers going out

[GOPyouth]

Speaking of smoking. You're smooth if you can do this like Spike.

Where is this Mosque? Eastern part of Baghdad?

[TheLion]

"We would bomb the Mosque, right? If its remotely possible that Saddam's in there, we'd surely take the whole building down."

Maybe we want to make sure this time! Where the hell is Fox news on this story. The media is not doing a good job, imo. They show the same stuff all day long.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I heard it on the radio, too.

[Mo1]

Don't know what to think except is must be serious

[TheLion]

This is a fight! Wish the damn news would get on it!

[Cate]

I would never want to explain that credit card bill.
