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,...

It's finally "The night the lights went out in Baghdad!"

[cajungirl]

I think fatwas are like orders,,sort of like the pope making an ex cathedra statement ,,,some can be good. I think I shall start giving my husband and children fatwas,,think they will take me more seriously.

[allodialman]

MSNBC must be reading this tread.....someone here posts that nightvision lens on the video camera is yuk and bingo we have the night vision gone.

[melodie]

sound gone now on cbs cam

[Catspaw]

Electricity out in Baghad? We're going in.

[Cboldt]

I am impressed with the coalition efforts so far, and believe the rpesent "lights-out" condition is our doing. The Marines will want to take bridges crossing the Tigris, and when the lights come back on, a new regime will be in control of Baghdad. Good signal to the people, lights out that is.

[hawkaw]

Yeah the lights may be out but the USA own's the night!

Let the "green light" shine through!

[sissyjane]

I have MSNBC BAG-CAM, but no sound. Do you have sound??

[seeker41]

hmm. I suspect the Iraqis shut it down.

[prairiebreeze]

I think I shall start giving my husband and children fatwas,,

Mine would just look at me like I have 3 heads. LOL!

I think there are going to be a whole lot of "BOOMs" around Baghdad in the next hours and days. There seems to be a whole LOT of artillery ammo in our tanks and paladins, etc, which has been just sitting there waiting for something to get in their sights... and probably a whole lot of gunmen with very itchy trigger fingers, given the weak resistance to this advance. Now that we're within five miles, they are going to get their chance at some targets the AF and Navy have left over for them...

Maybe even SG's building...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I think it was Nam Vet who said that we should fire all of the journalism teachers in the US.

Maybe the reporterettes should be put to work caring for the wounded troops, spend time w/ PFC Lynch.

[Carolina]

pMS cam is working but I can't get any sound. CBS can us all black.

[Mo1]

electricity out in Bagland

Oh thanks .. I just turned on my bagcam and it was black .. wasn't sure what was going on

[Dawgmeister]

Amen!

[retrokitten]

I think I shall start giving my husband and children fatwas,,think they will take me more seriously.

Hhmm...good idea!

"Retrokitten has issued a Fatwa to Retrokat: clean the litterbox!"

[section9]

I think it has to have been our people who did it.

The dark will serve as cover for advancing light infantry units. We are farther along into the city than is publicly admitted.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Catspaw]

I don't have sound on the MSNBC cam. CBS cam went to black, no sound, no picture.

[GOPyouth]

Turn your speakers way up. the sound is very low.

[The Wizard]

maybe....maybe ther want to be able to track some car movement.
