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,...

Why is Sky reporting that there is a change in checkpoint procedures when Vince said that there are no procedural changes? Did I hear him wrong?

[Consort]

Tom Broke? Aw.

FN: Great interview w/ Iraqi-American, Mahdi Al-Shammeree: Iraqis wanting freedom during Gulf War were helped by US forces. We set up humanitarian camp near Safwan...later moved to Saudi Arabia. "They did everything they could to help keep us safe." After the uprising in '91, Saddam made sure that the (so. areas) were filled w/ his army...put down Iraqi people...execution squads...there's a lot of fear out there. Mahdi's brother is now a US Marine in Iraq...he was so impressed w/ our troops treating them as humans during Gulf War. Mahdi believes that Iraqi people are impressed by our honorable military - re. our war effort, "As an Iraqi-American I will never forget this."

In other news - guess who figured this out - the guys and dolls at that bad unmentionable website looked into the ID from the Fisk story and it seems that the manufacturing code of the object Fisk had trumpeted as proving a U.S. attack on the marketplace came from the recon division of Raytheon, not any missle plant. This was probably pulled from a predator crash or similar and planted/handed to Fisk who is still bleeding from the hook, line, and sinker embedded in his cheek.

"Wow, you are a multi - tasker & probably Adult ADDHh like me (g)"

They didn't have ADD when I was a kid, but I'm sure I qualify. Today they call it a disability. It has always been an asset for me. I've always been able to start and direct projects while allowing the anal retentive to sweat the small stuff. I've tried almost everything.

I think it's a shame that today's solution is to drug kids who get bored with tedious detail. I say, give them something to do. They will excell.

Yeah...theres a Reuters mike there so I wonder why we can't just get the position from Reuters? If they don't talk maybe a little torture would help?

For regular paragraph spacing, IF there is no html coding in the message, just use the carriage return twice.

Jim will format for you automatically.

IF you use html format in your text (bold, italics, colors, fonts, your own links to some site or photo) then you can use < p > to get a paragraph, or < br > to get a line break.

Koffee saying that he has been.

Question about acute humanitarian needs. ARe you pleased?

Koffee concernd about population in cities that are besieged. Lack of water danger to population, no water, no electricity. He knows about efforts.

Question about UN preparedness for reconstruction.
