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,...

OMG...it's so true!!!

[Mo1]

friend just called, said 2 army bases in japan were bombed?

WHAT????

[The Wizard]

Centcom: Lights out not us?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

friend just called, said 2 army bases in japan were bombed?

No mention on FN?!

[Catspaw]

We didn't turn out the lights in Baghdad? Is someone doing us a favor? And they do know about night vision, don't they?

[mhking]

Our soldiers or Iraqui soldiers are wearing gas masks?

Unknown...

[Sparky760]

Latest Comments from the Iraqi information minister: There is no blackout in Bagdhad, we decided to turn the lights off for the fun of it. Those parachutes your saw falling on Saddams airport were Iraqi forces coming to protect the airport. Don't let the fact that you have not seen one Iraqi plane in the sky for 2 weeks fool you. Oh and one more thing, if you see any American troops in the city of Baghdad, it's just your imagination. So as you see everything is normal.

Source for Japan Base Bombing???

[mewzilla]

Maybe the blackout is a signal from a friend within...

[rumrunner]

Our soldiers or Iraqui soldiers are wearing gas masks?

Repubican Guard soldiers. Not wearing them, but carrying them.

[null and void]

President shaking hands in the crowd. Secret Service is acting very overprotective.

No they aren't.

[melodie]

possible coup going on...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

for the fun of it.

That's deranged.

[mhking]

Rummy-sign!

[Consort]

Long range scuds?

[Cboldt]

CENTCOM - Internal coup possibble. Coalition forces did not turn off the power.

You know we have people "inside," helping change regime from the inside, when the time is right.

[B4Ranch]

Ping to #899 for the story. It's not a video.

[abnegation]

RUMMY

[Right_in_Virginia]

Could this be an intentional use of the fog of war?....to protect the location of our special forces?
