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,...

I think replacing it with a statue of Ronald McDonald would be great.

LOL! That is too funny! The McDonalds right near my house has this lifesize Ronald McDonald statue sitting on a bench right outside of it. It scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it.

[Aggie Mama]

Thanks for posting that, or I would have missed it. Wow.

[retrokitten]

Blinkie!!! LMAO!!!

[commish]

I was thinking we could put one of the old Shoney's Big Boy statues on it ;-)

[hawkaw]

Gee, while I was watching the Sky feed right now I noted that they had an M1 Abrams burning from the 3rd division. I hope the troops were okay.

Sky says we are 6 miles out of Baghdad. I think we are closer than that based on what I am reading here.

[Air Force Born]

OH NO. We are reteating!!


But we are confused and retreating in the wrong direction.

[Dog]

I hear distant rumbles on the MSNBC BAGCAM..

[melodie]

quagmire!!! LOL..the iraqi's were right all along

[commish]

I notice that while we have taken out most of their command and control and comm .. there is still a Cell or Relay tower standing proud on the Bagcam.

Haven't heard Kerry on the war

Kerry's latest speech says we'll need a new prez after the war...someone able to mend relations with Europe and the wider world.

Oh yeah! THAT's what Americans care about right now...mending relationships! LOL!

[hawkaw]

Sky news header - Vangaurd of 3rd ID is 4 miles from outskirts of Baghdad. I still think we are a lot closer.

There was a man on from Italy the other day. He was 11 at the end of World War II. He said everyone said Italy was soooo fascist, Democracy in their future was impossible.

Obviously, he is seeing a parallel.

[TomGuy]

OH NO. We are reteating!!

But we are confused and retreating in the wrong direction.

Yeh! And we're supposed to be in a 30 day pause, per Reuters! Who's running this war anyway? [Rummy smirks and Franks smiles]

[retrokitten]

Yesterday or the day before there was an article about Kerry in Conn. saying that after the war that the US needs a new president. He was speaking in a library basement. I'm going to go look for the article.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Hope so too, hawkaw. Greg Kelly said we lost a soldier, took out 30 enemy tanks.

[Dawgmeister]

If I knew how to do it I'd do a screen capture and put
a bright color pic of Ronald on this grey picture here.
Haven't figured all that out yet.

[Timeout]

It was reported that all got out of that tank OK. RPG got under the treads, tore them up. All got out, then WE destroyed it.

[abnegation]

First time I saw that Saddam statue it struck me....Salt Lake City has one that from a distance looks exactly the same....It is Brigham Young.

[AppyPappy]

The McDonalds right near my house has this lifesize Ronald McDonald statue sitting on a bench right outside of it. It scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it.

What were you doing, robbing it?
