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,...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Wow. Just read your #1216...wow. Thanks for the detailed report. What a snapshot of the war!

[Carolina]

Back from breakfast.

Good Lord! I haven't had any yet.

[Admin Moderator]

Your error is corrected. If you want to get ahold of us faster, use the 'report abuse' link. Thanks.

GUNFIRE on the BAGCAM!!!!

[TomGuy]

Sounds like small arms fire on bagdadcam....

[Cboldt]

Just wondering if it was a specific op, or just the standard nightly visit.

I have no idea what the target was. Every night's visit has been a specific operation though, targeting RG barracks, ammunition dumps, leadership bunkers, broadcast communications facilities, telecommunication facilities, etc. I wager that some of the nightly attacks are literally "personal" in nature.

[Carolina]

Sounds like small arms fire on bagdadcam....

Whoa!

[Air Force Born]

The US army is amazing. apparently for the rescue of pvt Lynch they modified a Blackhawk with an aft ramp and a second main rotor on the tail. Or could it be that the press is a little confused?


Oh, sorry. Another dumb question.

[AppyPappy]

Which one? I can't get sound on MSNBC

[commish]

CBS -- always has a better picture and is not delayed like the PMS cam.

[prairiebreeze]

wow. Thanks for this recap SG.

Any big news overnight? If Rick's off the MREs and onto complaining about the heat, I figured we had a good night. What did Bob A. say???

I liked his reports up until I heard him whine that he only got 1 MRE one day. Just heard a report that Pvt Lynch may have gone up to 9 days without any food at all. Sort of puts whines in perspective.

[epluribus_2]

which one? PMS? CBS (does not work for me)? CNN? SKY (not worked for week for me)

[Cboldt]

for the rescue of pvt Lynch they modified a Blackhawk with an aft ramp and a second main rotor on the tail.

And did it with duct-dape.

LOL, the media is made up of not-so-bright people, who have an agenda.

[AppyPappy]

CBS keeps jumping to press conferences. I don't want to hear that mess. I'd rather watch Romper Room. You get to hear better questions.

[Allan]

I just heard this on CNN:

The Iraqi information minister has said
that reports the coalition troops are near Bagdad
are totally ridiculous.

[Timeout]

I was disappointed at Rick pointing out how one of our soldiers was sweating profusely...due to the chem suit. Rick said: "Unlike them, they can't make me put on my suit.". Not one of his finer moments. Roger Ailes: talk to this guy!

[commish]

Sirens and what sounds like someone giving orders through a bullhorn on BagCam also. Also, Ahmed the sweeper is mumbling something from behind the cam LOL!

[smith288]

When there is firefights going on in Baghdad yet your Minister of Disinformation says its a lie that US is on outskirts of city, who, in their right mind, would believe this boob?
