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,...

OK, I'm just popping in....they're saying on TV that we've secured the Baghdad airport! Is this true???

[Carolina]

Oh, and she spelled peace "PEASE."

[Bryan24]

No, it was a smart aleck response to a polite request.

I read the earlier posts. It was humerous and touching. But it ceased to be touching 75 responses or so later, while I was trying to keep up with the day's events.

Start a new thread and discuss it all you want.

And no, I don't care who "gets" post 3000. I'm simply trying to keep up with the war effort.

[Quilla]

What do you mean, massacre - we fell for the trap?

[Redcloak]

BREAKING NEWS...

Saddam Hussein emerges from his bunker to appear on Iraqi TV. The besieged Iraqi leader is seen here with his Information Minister.

Said the Information Minister: "See?? I told you that he was alive! I told you not to believe the rumors started by that crazy Rumsfeld guy!"

[Consort]

They are bat and bug trails.

An omen: the guano is about to hit the fan.

[gop212]

I'm simply trying to keep up with the war effort.

How's that going for you?

[ChewedGum]

Gold star for you, Redcloak (for making me smile!)

[Carolina]

That's what the news outlets have reported. ABC reporter was standing on the tarmac. Also, our guys found a tunnel system. We don't know what its function is.

[Krodg]

Thanks

[Timeout]

Major Garrett just reported we now have 9,000 EPW...double yesterday's total!

[DonnerT]

The road into Baghdad is too easy. Now comes the bunching up and chems. On the surface and underground.

[CurlyBill]

Well, with that photo, I have to believe that he is alive and well and in charge in Baghdad!

[melodie]

i swear it sounds like geraldo talking on the cbs cam...lol

[aloysius89]

Even though there are times when the signal to noise ratio around here gets a little funky this is still the best, most positive, quickest place to follow what's goin' on. IMHO. This is a wonderful community and I'm glad y'all let me play.

[Catspaw]

Quit whining and grow up. If you don't like the thread, leave and start your own. You are NOT contributing to the discussion. In fact, you seem intent on hijacking the thread with your crybaby act.

[Quilla]

I'm praying you're wrong.

[ChewedGum]

I know...I learn some things 4-6 hours before I see them anywhere else.

[hawkaw]

Anybody hear all the planes buzzing around while the Sky guy with the 3rd Infantry is talking.

Saying they are meeting very little resistance.
