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,...

[null and void]

Tee hee hee.

Now that I'm caught up, BBL...

[Howlin]

I heard him say it myself earlier this morning.

[SoldiersGirl]

barney is like crack for kids.
I had my kids convinced that barney and teletubbies wouldn't work on our tv.
The tooth fairy forgot to come last night, and I convinced my daughter that the TF is off on Wednesdays because she has to count all the teeth...

Who says lying is wrong?

[stumpy]

He won't, the troops have live ammo.

[mtbopfuyn]

Neat pictures of the airport. No outgoing flights and no French Fries being sold in the food court.

[gop212]

What was his response to the Powell question?

[cyncooper]

I was quoting Howlin. See the italics? That indicates I was quoting what she saw live on MSNBC shortly before the briefing. If you click on "to #" it will take you to the post I was responding to.

I did not see it myself---darn.

[Mo1]

LOL .. not me

[Solson]

Anyone know where I can find the pic of the French Soldier of Fortune Mag cover? It's a spoof pic but very funny.

[valleygal]

I have my daughter at home call me at work and then put the telephone handset in front of the speaker of the TV. I get to listen to FNC all day long!!

LOL!

In the late 70's I used to have my mom audiotape my soap opera with a little machine. I'd then come home from work and listen!

I, too am addicted to these days is FOX. No soaps since '82.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Jim Wilkinson, Gen. Franks' spokesman

One more FR poster boy.

I say that with the utmost respect. (^;

[gop212]

Yeah, but on what channel?

[DollyCali]

mt vote is with Camels also. Goats smell better than goats

[Mo1]

I have my daughter at home call me at work and then put the telephone handset in front of the speaker of the TV. I get to listen to FNC all day long!!

I LOVE IT!!!

[TomGuy]

CNN: Tom Cahill..."former" human shield in Iraq. Poor baby. He's angry at the U.S. Knows little about Saddam, except what he's heard from Amnesty International. [This guy is OTL--out to lunch.]

[Howlin]

Bob Arnot ONLY works for MSNBC/NBC.

[sissyjane]

Quick--Save yourself-TURN OFF CNN.

[Robert A Cook PE]

You forget that it might be OUR order to them (over their radio frequencies to their units) to leave Bagdad.

Just a thought. 8<)

[SoldiersGirl]

The following proposed 10 point non-interference plan should make the world
happy!
Here's the plan:

1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their
affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and the rest
of them 'good old boys'. We will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with
Germany, South Korea and the Philippines and leave them on their own.
They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No more
sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and
leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the
remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately,
regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90
days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist
nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there,
change it yourself, don't hide here. Asylum would not ever be
available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers.

5) No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they
don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self sufficient energy
wise. This will include developing non polluting sources of
energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan
wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel
for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else.

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we
will not "interfere". They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds,
rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides' most of what we
give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it
most get very little, if any anyway.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place. We don't
need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, it would
make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way,
no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.

Wilkinson is now on MSNBC!
