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 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...

[Anamensis]

Oooh! I'm in early!!

[An.American.Expatriate]

I take two days off and what happens? I still can't post the title right! Admin Guy has been informed . . .

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Greg Kelly on Fox News called in to report the 3rd ID is heading into Baghdad again - this time to the center of the city. Light arms resistance and a few RPG's, but their tanks are rollin' on Baghdad ...

[JLS]

So is Kelly's group across the Tigris in that thumb of old town Baghdad?

[mrsalty]

I guess all the Bag cams are out.I cant find one working.Heavy Anti-Air fire about an hour ago.

[July 4th]

Chem suits coming off per FOX. Iraqi command and control must be completely fractured.

[cebadams]

NTV cam is working.

[Timeout]

FOX is behind the curve. We must've been hearing Greg's unit on our webcams for over an hour....we just didn't know it!

[two23]

Fallen son

William Buesing III, father of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Brian Buesing, 20, holds an American flag given to him by a member of a Marine color guard as he grieves over his son's coffin during funeral services Saturday in Cedar Key, Fla. Buesing was one of nine Marines who died in a confrontation with Iraqi troops near Nasiriyah, Iraq, on March 23.

Iraqi children ask for food from U.S. Marines in the city of Nassiriya, April 6, 2003. U.S.

[Queen of Excelsior]

NTV cam is working

[JLS]

NTV is working.

[Fledermaus]

I just pulled this off the weather channel website:

[SoldiersGirl]

by the way, thanks for never complaining about the formatting of stuff I post. I know I suck at it sometimes.

[Tree of Liberty]

Or a possible ruse to see if they try and load chem shells (with drones observing from above), "knowing" that we would be vulnerable.

[MEG33]

All I heard was they were headed for central Baghdad.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

CNN retired major reported earlier he doesn't think there is enough coordinated command and control left to actually surrender in the traditional sense.

That overhead drone is probably providing recon for the tank advance in the city. The modern battlefield is amazing.

[Clean_Sweep]

I hope you can capture the screen when our tanks roll nto view!!

[Mo1]

WOW .. Getting pretty loud on the bagdad cam

[snooker]

He would not say. Only 'deep into Baghdad was the comment. Film at 11.

snooker

[Texas Tea]

That is not thunder and it sounds close.

[MEG33]

You've got it!

[umbagi]

I guess all the Bag cams are out.I cant find one working.Heavy Anti-Air fire about an hour ago.

Hit the NTV Real BagCam link above -- it's working (little dark, but good audio and that's where all the action is!).

[mrsalty]

How do you get to that one, Link, Website?

[Timeout]

Those loud claps, constant rumble, combined with the flickering screen....sure looks & sounds like a thunderstorm doesn't it?

[Fledermaus]

CBS back up, but not a good picture. I think Achmed dropped and broke it's filter.

[Tree of Liberty]

Links to a whole bunch of web cams (including NTV) are at the top of this page.

[MEG33]

Greg said RPGs were fired at them..lost the connection, then.

[commish]

That was definately the BRAAAP BRAAAP of a 20-MM. Probably on an M2.

[umbagi]

How do you get to that one, Link, Website?

NTV BagCam (Real)

[Tree of Liberty]

NTV Bag-cam - automatic weapons fire, sirens

[JLS]

The second NTV link worked for me. The real ie real player one.

[Poser]

And of course, Belly Girl.

[bluefish]

that picture is terrible on CBS Cam!

[commish]

smoke plume on the far left.

Situation Room Day 19 Quiz.....

How many days does Saddam have left on life support?

What was Uday thinking about when that missle hit him in the face?

What's Qusay doing right now in "paradise?"

But seriously, who do you all think is calling the shots right now military wise in Baghdad?

Anybody ever read Jean Paul Sarte's "No Exit?" That would be my hope for Saddam and sons.

[Tree of Liberty]

I thought M2's use a 25mm main gun?

[Mo1]

William Buesing III, father of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Brian Buesing, 20, holds an American flag given to him by a member of a Marine color guard as he grieves over his son's coffin during funeral services Saturday in Cedar Key, Fla. Buesing was one of nine Marines who died in a confrontation with Iraqi troops near Nasiriyah, Iraq, on March 23

Oh wow .. so sad .. Please God, help these families get threw this

[JLS]

Have we decided which Mosque that is in the webcam?

[Tree of Liberty]

NTV Bag-cam - VERY close auto fire

[Clean_Sweep]

It's getting hot. I hope our boys are doing all the shooting.

[mrsalty]

Says I dont have enough bandwidth, I dont know why, I have broadband

[commish]

maybe .. I thought it was a 20

[gop212]

Belly Girl hasn't gotten any uglier has she?

[Timeout]

Anyone watching on CNN cam or is the pic still black? It had a really good picture.

[Tree of Liberty]

NTV Bag-cam - hearing CAS

[MEG33]

It's my favorite but I had to switch to NTV

U.S. Makes Second Raid Into Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Iraq — American forces rolled through the streets of Baghdad in armored vehicles on Sunday, as missiles screamed through the skies and the crackle of heavy machine gun fire grew more intense.

[Poser]

She's still pretty hot, maybe not Heather hot, but damned hot!

[commish]

LOL one of the guys on the roof just said "should be here shortly - which way are they coming from can you tell"
