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,...

[Mr.Crimson]

Telling it like it is

[Consort]

Our biggest enemy is domestic, i.e., the Democrat Party.

[Mr.Crimson]

LOL close but no cigar!

[Poser]

live=lives

I am deeply saddened by my mistake (/Dashole)

[Mr.Crimson]

Can we bomb them too?

[Consort]

A few days ago, Geraldo acknowledged "serious mistakes" in his past but I still can't get over his defense of Clinton-the-Venery.

[SamAdams76]

I like your take on the world! Pretty much the way I see it too.

The war so far has been an astonishing success for our troops. I say to them: Don't rush, take your time and do the job right.

[texxie]

not our biggest just the most vocal and then they whine

[texxie]

gawd lol you gotta find the macker first

[Poser]

Any bets on how many times they will show the video of the marine and his equipment over the next week?

Over/Under is 120.

[Paradox]

We are watching history folks, and it is going down in one of two ways. Either A) Rummy et al. have majorly funked this war thing up, and its truly in disarray and are trying to cover it up and make things up as they go along, or B) the "Media" is doing a major meltdown and has gotten the "jist" of things totally wrong and will have MAJOR egg on their faces in a few months.

I see this as the Pentagon going through a best case towards a worst case scenerio. Best case, everyone surrenders up front, no coalition members are killed. Didn't happen, but they are prepared for that, all the way down to the worst case (heaven forbid).

At the moment, I think the chicken embryo cannons are standing by, locked and loaded.

[Greenpees]

Damned!

That's so much better than my post.

:(

[Mo1]

Underdog Fox News wins war ratings race Patriotic Fox gloats over a CNN some viewers call too liberal

[Mr.Crimson]

That could be a problem

[Poser]

Odds on showings of Marine and his equipment video during the next week:

Less than 10: 1000 to 1
11-25:         300 to 1
26-50:           4 to 1
51-75:             Even
76-100:          3 to 1
101-125:         6 to 1
126-150:        10 to 1
151-175:        22 to 1
176-200:        50 to 1
More than 200: 100 to 1

[Alamo-Girl]

I vote for your "B" ... the media was in total melt-down in Afghanistan also, saying it was another quagmire, etc. - just before it all rapidly came together. I suspect that is exactly what will happen here...

[Consort]

...not our biggest just the most vocal and then they whine...

Most definitely our biggest — they are using the system against us. The took over academia, labor, the bureaucracy at all levels, the lawyers, the 9th Circuit and other courts, Hollywood.... They are dumbing down our kids as we speak, attacking religion, pitting young against old, black against white... They create addictive social programs and laws againts everything and only selectively enforce them...

Other than the above, they are harmless.

[Mr.Crimson]

He was definitely a Clinton Dupe

[texxie]

true but not insurmountable

[texxie]

*sigh* you are correct in what you posted and why they look so foolish right now as does most of the media

when this is over they will all have egg on their faces

nobody is paying attention to them right now they are in disarray and can't find there way out the 04 elections will make the 02 look good for them - they will pay dearly in 04 for their recent stunts
