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,...

Oo-rah! was what I heard at the beginning

[Capitalism2003]

The American inspectors have arrived.

God bless our troops!

[Dog]

Yes......then I was treated to Chris Jensen on MSNBC calling this a nice Photo Op.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[Carolina]

Our local TV cam showing him diving into the crowds.

[Lady Jag]

A very late Live Thread Ping! (Server problems!)

Not too late for me, who had wetware problems! Thanks.

[retrokitten]

Did GW hit it out of the park today?

He sure did! It was great!

[gop212]

Those roars were as thunderous as the bombs were dropping.

Bush....After traveling hundreds of miles, we will now go the remaining two hundred yards. (ROAR).

[melodie]

Luv the pics...the top one should have the caption..."WANT SOME??"

[cajungirl]

Jensen is a cynical a hole. His kind will never acknowledge that GWB is already a great president. He worships mediocrity.

[Carolina]

Local commentator saying this is his crowd. His father (GHWB) served in WII and he himself served in Nat'l Guard. Saying the Marines sat in rapt attention. Commenting on the personal setting.

[cyncooper]

Did GW hit it out of the park today?

It was a wonderful speech. All networks carried it. What a relief to see the president smile from time to time. He received a wonderful reception and at the end of his remarks, thunderous applause.

Perhaps Rush will play excerpts?

[Catspaw]

I only heard part of the speech, dammit, but I sure did hear the end :-))

[prairiebreeze]

Glad to hear it. Wish I didn't have to got to the grocery but the cupboard was getting pretty bare!

Maybe somebody will recap. Or hopefully C Spam will re-run the speech

Prairie

[CasearianDaoist]

I heard all the way through the speech (for those who don't know it is the Marine's equivalent of "HooAhh."

[abnegation]

Meyers: RG moving toward coalition advance on Baghdad.

[Dog]

Breaking News on Fox....the F-18 may have been brought down but a Patriot..

General Myers is telling people to calm down......tough fighting is ahead..

[prairiebreeze]

Even the talking head General on MSNBC is saying Bush "hit it out of the park!" Wow

Prairie --giving our Pres. a big thumbs up!

[gop212]

True, accept he is a she.
