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,...

[prairiebreeze]

Any reporter whining about MRE's should be forced to eat the barbeque ones!

Karbala is Babylon, a little south of b-daddy, bridge complex there, very strategeric.

MSNBC: 30 second statement expected; MAJOR battle underway.

Sounds like Picard's "We have engaged the Borg," from BOBW....

[melodie]

well..my my...thats a mighty fine gadget!! i have never seeen that one!! LOL

[Lauratealeaf]

Say a prayer.....and stay strong everyone..

Amen. As the reporters sniped and sniped today our soldiers have been shedding their blood I am afraid.

[Cboldt]

CENTCOM will have only a 30-second statement. Why do I have a feeling this must be something pretty big?

Not taking any questions. 30 seconds of talking can convey quite a bit. We wouldn't make a move that we weren't generally prepared for. I am praying hard for our brave troops. I hope angels appear behind them, and blind or confuse the RG.

[Peach]

We're hanging in there and have faith.

Iraqis have decided to strike before the 4thID is at full strength is my guess...

This is it..

CENTCOM Briefing in 15 minutes
 

FNC ...

...an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

About the duct tape story...still catching up. Did research, read the original thread (AFP, most believe the story, you know!)..and I can not believe that someone would joke about missing soldiers during wartime. If untrue, Peter Arnett will have company at Al Jazeera.

[mhking]

Iraqis have decided to strike before the 4thID is at full strength is my guess...

I'm afraid that you might be right - and I'll be willing to bet that WMD have been used by the bad guys...

[EternalVigilance]

The battle is the Lord's...

[Cboldt]

Karbala is south of Bag.

Ther RG can't move back. We're going to take out all of their tanks, on way or another. If they try to retreat, they'll be pounded from the air. B-52 left UK when, about 3 hours ago? The carriers are primed for rapid sorties, etc.

[ztiworoh]

Wow alot of trek talk around here today

[prairiebreeze]

Karbala is that bottleneck place between that big lake and the Euphrates. There is a dam they've been worried about at the lake I think. worried the Iraqi's will blow it and cause flood.

Just east of Karbala is Saddam International Airport..

[melodie]

holy...im holding my breath and saying a prayer
