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,...

How long have you been gone? In the last hour not much going on. Lights are out in Baghdad. In the midst of taking the Saddam airport. We found underground tunnels. Bombing overnite with a fire that the Fox camera has been focusing on for the last couple of hours. It's almost daytime there, so things might get interesting.

[TigersEye]

Sheila Jackson Lee is on CSPAN now asking for money for Haiti because of the possibility of terrorism there.

To stop it or get it started?

[Dog]

Since about noon today..

[Catspaw]

I've been away, too, Dog, but the story is still the taking of the Saddam International Hospital in Baghdad. I don't think it's complete. CNN's Nic Robertson reports that the Iraqis are urging citizens to march on the airport with their small arms. And the lights are out in Baghdad, but CENTCOM says we didn't do it.

Oh, and in the Green Bay region, we have black ice conditions, just in case you were curious.

[juzcuz]

Well,

It sure was nice of OJ to clean the blood off of the lens.

[glock rocks]

if you haven't seen the Bob Arnot clip with the firefight and the little kid and family... it's coming up on msnbc sometime this hour.

[The Wizard]

Serious Question

Who gets the hotels and will there be gambling?

A Safe Baghdad with it's antiqueties will become a very hot tourist stop....

[null and void]

I've been speculating that Norm Achmed and Mohamad Vila have been building gallows for days now.

Could I actually be right???

[gop212]

Sheila Jackson Lee is a domestic terrorist.

[GOPyouth]

My other post pretty much summed things up for you if you've been out of pocket since noon.

[Timeout]

TURN ON MSNBC!

[grahm_crackers]

"Come on someone tell me what happened.."

Wellpp, Rummy said that Saddam is dead today, everyone else missed it. Check Rummy's quotes from today, especially the word "fate".

[glock rocks]

Arnot up now on msnbc.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

"Tonight's-the-Night-that-the-Lights-went-out-in-Baghdad"

Sung to...? (you win a prize...)

[Redcloak]

He just kinda smeared it around with the heel of a Bruno Magli shoe.

[SC_Republican]

Lester Holt, PMS, just did the lead in for their next segment:

Yup, he said it, but I belive it was that idiot Keith Olbermann that said it.

[dinasour]

Be careful, we are about to be zotted by either the "word for the day" lady, or the "you are not supposed to chat on a breaking thread" police

[null and void]

A Safe Baghdad with it's antiqueties will become a very hot tourist stop....

Big time! The rebuilt Babylon, too.

[Senator_Palpatine]

"Kisses for the British Forces...those cool Lads......"

Maxine Watters is on the mic now. I'm taking notes.
