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,...

[Miss Marple]

Yes, quite a racket. Her barking makes china rattle in the cabinet. LOL!

On the plus side, when my husband must be gone I am NEVER worried about being alone. She is an excellent watchdog and quite protective of our family (even the old cat).

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Geraldo on live now

[Miss Marple]

Would those perhaps be those two busloads of volunteers who left to fight for Saddam?

Hmmm.

[The Wizard]

FOX: Medina Div. of the RG at 50%

Monica man is on now in some hotel but he has a printed back drop saying Ministry Of Information which we know is now defunct

[umbagi]

One can hope :-)...

[CasearianDaoist]

I actually like all that noise hounds make - it reminds me of my childhood. A very under-rated dog. It amuses me when they play dumb on you. The coon-hound and Chessie are great All-American breeds.

[Miss Marple]

Geraldo had some cool footage. Did anyone hear the beginning?

[this_ol_patriot]

Now Galloway British MP says British troops should refuse orders. Women and children of Iraq gunned down by trigger-happy Americans...Bush and Blair are donkeys.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - He's still with the 101st. Battle commander (a colonel) was never apprised of any scandal. The colonel told his commander that any info Geraldo gave was sufficiently vague and already appeared in 10 other outlets. He intends to be there long enough to have a beer with the 101st in Baghdad. Apologizes to anyone who thought he gave sensitive info out. Two patriot missiles fired from his location overnight. Explosions in the air. Didn't see anything hit the ground. Battle commander sent convoy north to pick up POW's. Convoy passed Najaf, across the Euphrates. 60 mi from Baghdad. In the Ba'ath party headquarters. Taken as their own HQ. Highly motivated troops. Restless. Want to get to Baghdad and then home. Will check in again next hour.

[Miss Marple]

Although she plays dumb sometimes, this is the smartest dog I have ever owned.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Lt. Col. North to check in shortly

[umbagi]

This guy is such a hoot. If we don't blow him up real good, SNL needs to give him a job; he'd be the best thing since Radner!

Says we (US) didn't drop in the north, we made the Brits do it "as an experiment." Says they "eliminated" almost all of them, and took their tanks and armored vehicles.

[Miss Marple]

Well, Geraldo is still there. MSNBC will be frothing at the mouth.

My bet is that they whined to the Pentagon after seeing his report.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Baghdad Bob on now

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - E.D. says that a couple other networks show him as though he's real news. She calls him the "Disinformation minister" and basically calls it like it is.

[The Wizard]

Monica man is a democrat. You can tell by the shared talking points

It's almost the same technique.....spew lies and get the media to carry them....in his case he has Al jazera, we have CNNABCCBSPMSNBC

[CasearianDaoist]

Boy, that is the truth about coohounds! They are a crafty bunch. I often think that only real dog lovers can appreciate coonhounds - they are not for the lukewarm owner.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Col. North on live

[Cboldt]

Geraldo to be on live in just a moment. They just had a live shot, and he still looks out there with the 101st

He also noted the two Patriot missle shots. I think he's been relocated from the site of the 1st or 3rd Brigade of the 101st (which is close to the front lines), to the 2nd Brigade of the 101st (which is probably 150 miles farther south). This way, he can say he is still with the 101st, and the Penatagon can say Fox complied with the request that Geraldo be removed "from the unit" he was with.

[glock rocks]

yep. i got the impression that nbc was pulling a lott on gerry... smokescreen for benedict arnett

they might throw in the rag now arnett has defected to the british marxists, otoh, maybe not... they are nbc.
