MSNBC reporting that 50% of US airstrikes are now aimed at RG. I hadn't heard this before

It has seemed to me that well over half of the ordinance, if not half of the missions, have been aimed at the RG for many days now, given the reports of "heavy bombing to the south of Baghdad".

Which cam are you using?

Using MSNBC #2 and CBS. CBS is the one with sound, I think.

Sounds like Akmed it auditioning for Iraqi Idol. Either that or someone's stepping on a cat's tail.

A couple days ago, I caught him at break time with a bunch of guys and said (very diplomatically - unusual for me) "Thanks for your work on the Patriot. They have been working remarkably - I don't think they have missed even once! I know you feel you did little work for the present system, but thanks for the little work you did." Wow! - did I get an earful! He is suddenly proud of the work he did --- I was also diplomatic enough not to point out (with all that croud around us) how gloomy his assessment of those systems had been only a few months before.

You are much nicer than I...

That guy sounds like he's in pain, lol.

(I thought they might be singing their prayers, with all the bombing in the background)

[Dawgmeister]

Think he's mostly Insanna,

Your post reminded me of this article and that scene from "Independence Day".

Yep, also, ABM tech. is likely to be mostly laser based (like the Airborne Laser), not projectile based like the ABM installation in Alaska. If they're not up there already, we need to get some laser-firing sats up there, but before that can be public, we need to abrogate that stupid UN treaty.

UN? They're still around???

[Krodg]

Thanks. I had MSNBC up but could barely hear any sounds. It's just not the same without the big booms.

someone's stepping on a cat's tail.

LOL (or kicking a camel)

[Krodg]

I've never been able to get that one but I'll try again. Thanks

Fox - Levanthal reports that there's been heavy artillery firing over the last hour. Most chickens that the Marines brought with them died, since they're not good chicken farmers. Pigeons have stayed alive, though.

And will stay that way until someone tells the Marines they do taste just like chicken...

[Howlin]

Duct tape? Think that is what that last sound is?

[melodie]

phew...is achmed a little gassy this morning?

[retrokitten]

So, is Jerry in or out?

In for now, but apparently on his way out...

[Consort]

Achmed is messing with the bagcam.

[Carolina]

Ziip! Rip, rip. A brief shot of a black disk.

[TomGuy]

Duct tape Alert!!!! I distinctly hear duct tape being ripped on Bagdad Webcam. Wow! That makes this HUGH.

[Dawgmeister]

Sew what you rip, refrigerator Achmed bends over.
