Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - 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 breif description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started and keep it running, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

I can never recite samples when someone asks if people from FOX etc lurk/join here. Thought I'd point one out exactly WHEN one happened.

DEBKAfile’s Exclusive Middle East sources have tracked down the top Iraqi leadership’s bolt-hole. It is a large 1,600-room luxury resort with 600 meters of private sandy beach in the Mediterranean coastal town of Latakiya called Cote d’Azur De Cham Resort, prepaid and chartered in toto by Baghdad

I ran across another article about Latakiya, Syria. Interesting. Guess who also has connections there? One of Bin Laden's wives:

"Bin Laden's wife and son lived in the Alawite stronghold in Latakiya in an arrangement that gave refuge to bin Laden's close relatives." from Syria has allowed hundreds of al-Qaeda men to settle in Lebanon

I think it's a power outage. NTV's got sound, no picture.

[Catspaw]

I don't know how he got out of the country. I would assume he drove--probably in a VERY well-marked car. Flying would be downright dangerous--and impossible.

[Redcloak]

Looks like someone bagged the cams.

</rimshot>

Thank you! Thank you! I'm here all week. Try the veal.

FoxNews dissing the hollyweird about their educational levels---or lack thereof.

[ztiworoh]

Haha, FNC is doing a report on the influence of stars, but took all their data off that email that went around

[Poser]

No way the tape mentioning the chopper was from 1991. Saddam is 12 years older. If you are saying he made pre-war tapes that were similar to the ones from 1991, that is entirely possible. That particular tape was several minutes long. One would have to assume that he spent hours and hours making all sorts of statements just in case he was dead and his people needed them.

The simplest explanation is more likely. On that basis, I believe the preponderance of the evidence shows he is alive.

It's just an opinion. I refuse to wear a tinfoil hat today.

No comparison of the credentials of the Hollywood idiots to the Bush Administration. Nice move Fox.

ruh roh... ntv went silent.

You've got my vote in the Best of Freeper Live Thread Poetry category. Just terrific!!

... and then -- just in case you'd missed it -- running the "exclusive" video some more :-).

[TomGuy]

re: webcams. Achmed didn't use Energizer batteries.

[RippleFire]

bump

[TigersEye]

Gotta wonder if the cams went out by order of the Iraqi command. Hmmm.

[Consort]

All you remote viewers tell us what you see.

[Warren_Piece]

You've got me convinced he's alive. However, he can't be controlling the Iraqi toops. Or is he is, he's an idiot. THe Iraqi army is not putting up anything that resembles a coherent defense. How the heck did he take over and hold the country for 30 years if he's that militarily stupid?

[Sparky760]

That was great........just a guess, but my bet is you won't see that story on ABC,CBS,NBC......Just a guess though....

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Sorry, Texas, just catching up. Check out nicmarlo's link at #3661.

ToL, I'm glad our troops have such monsters to destroy, and not real soldiers.

[GreyWolf]

I think it's a power outage. NTV's got sound, no picture.

I don't know where the servers are located but they are still streaming. Just no A/V. If the servers are in the same building, then maybe wind took out the cams on the roof. Somebody page Achmed before we have BagCam withdrawal.
