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:

To all who helped this get started, 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, and, of course,...

[abnegation]

Those women who ran the road block.....were TOLD to do it....there you have it.

[ChewedGum]

I'm with you on that one. I'm sitting at about 50/50 on this one...It very well could be a new virus that just happened to mutate at this point in time. But, it is out of the interior of China and could be an inadvertantly released biological agent.

Quarantine is not going to stop this thing (unless you quarantine everyone.)

Gum

[retrokitten]

How do you do this? You are so good!

[two23]

N wondering about the car full of women and children....was anything said about that? I missed most of the blip on FNC

[cyncooper]

This press conference reminded me of what you see from Democrats when they question people during Congressional hearings. The answer is irrelevant...the question becomes the news..and is reported as FACT.

Very well put. And I agree completely.

[mwl1]

These reporters are truly unsubstantial people. Put Barbara Starr and Jamie McIntyre, both of CNN, at the top of the list. Must be getting desperate for better ratings.

[Dog]

Listen to this that van full of women was an IRAQI plant......they had the person who was driving infant son and were holding them hostage...

[Vol2727]

Remember the guy who said....."curse on your mustache"....

Has anyone seen him since the night of the strike on the bunker..

His name is Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri. He's one of the Dirty Nine. And I haven't seen him since the first night. In fact, I haven't seen ANY of the Dirty Nine since that night.

[abnegation]

Yes they were TOLD to do it...also another man was told to and refused....then was killed.

[Otta B Sleepin]

FNC reporter said the men in their families were held hostage - the women were told not to stop, to keep driving so they would be shot. This info from a Shiite Muslim cleric.

[two23]

I knew it...I have numerous posts on just that

[Green]

New info on homocide bomber: LaJanesse Fox: He did this only to save his family. He was a reluctant victim. Interview with a muslim cleric revealed this.....

OMG...I sure hope his family was secure before this came out in the media cause they sure aren't going to be safe now with the death squads roaming all over Iraq. He is forced to do this to save his family...tells a cleric beforehand he doesn't want to but has to in order to keep his family alive....commits the homocide bombing incident...then this cleric reveals he was relunctant when the regime is touting him as a martyr....his family is now toast

[Sparky760]

Those women who ran the road block.....were TOLD to do it....there you have it.

How can anyone in their right mind defend this regime, the people protesting this war or the Hollywood Jihad...........I just don't get it.

[abnegation]

Yup I was watching and was not surprised to just how low Saddamn's goons will sink.

[Dog]

The one the Army guys shot up...Fox said another man was told to do the same thing down in the South but got scared and went to our forces......

These people are pure evil!!!!!!

[retrokitten]

That's really disgusting.

[Orlando]

If true , Why have we not moved in with allies forces ?

[Catspaw]

That was the 7 dead women and children al Jazeera and the rest of the Arab media has been running non-stop since Saddam & his boys engineered it.

Just curious: did Ari call on Les Konsolvig today? I thought I heard his voice, but I didn't hear him ask any loopy questions.

[GreyWolf]

It was the WSJ editorial today that made the point that all the carping generals are retired ARMY

I think McCafry is Air Force.

[Green]

You have to see it to believe it.

So very true. The transcripts are nice but they do not do the live performance justice.
