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!

AL Gore said in Athens that he wouldn't have started this war.
Good. They move, they die; and it's a darn sight easier to kill them if they're standing up rather than cowering behind the civilian populace.
I was surprised that he said that, were you? Check "yes" or "no."
It was a live phone report with Arnot, and it was crazy. He was in the middle of a firefight for the bridge in El Kut (sp) and you could hear the hellfire, hear him yelling jesus christ, oh my god, etc, he said he saw an RD soldier get his head blown up, and then a civilian family (I think it was 8 people all togehter) got rescued from the middle of the firing, there were kids and a 3 year old baby girl wearing a french language t-shirt. The woman was crying and petrified, wouldn't let go of Arnot, he got food for them and the Colonel in charge came over to check on them, in the middle of crying the woman laughed because Arnot asked her if she wanted a choice of chicken or beef to eat. Then the firing came over to where Arnot and the family were and they had to move, you could hear the baby screaming and crying....it was insane
then the bridge was secured and the troops pulled back to await further orders.
You could also hear the translator yelling to the Iraqi's "Surrender now and live, why fight and die, you will lose, look around all your comrades are dead"
The Marines also would not fire unless fired upon first, they were being very cautious of harming civilians.
It was honestly so scary to be listening to.

Paging Rupert Murdoch!
She keeps avoiding the war and keeps going after more money for Homeland Security for New York because the dems need NY in all the elections to come.
And THAT, sir is the whole point of having embeds. These reporters are the future news anchors, editors, and comentators...
Hacker slang for the human central nervous system, especially the brain. Most computing systems have three essential components: software, hardware, and wetware.
I was surprised that he said that, were you? Check "yes" or "no."
I'm surprised he said that.
I'm more surprised he spoke the truth.
Remember the so called Dr. that was taking cake of Jessica.....something tells me that he should have been taken in for questioning. I know it is just suspicion on my part but it was just stated that she was without food for 8 days; and the "good" Dr. did not look like he was hungry. Makes me sick!
