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,...

That we took out the Baghdad Power Grid, which contradicts DoD reports

[Jackie-O]

Maybe they'll boot Ollie over to KC with Geraldo now! ;0)

[two23]

ATI TV/Tuner video card installed on my pc and hooked to my cable box. Cable TV on PC.

[Dog]

There is shooting going on...

[StriperSniper]

Imagine that, cooking a cow with it's own poop!

[Aaron0617]

I missed part of this. What did they mean by: "Iraqis in tanks tried to tackle US troops"

Thanks

[CurlyBill]

He said that unless he is mistaken, the _________ will be in the control of the coalition by day's end. Anyone else hear this and want to fill in the blank?

[GOPyouth]

Ollie: Cobras are in the air above them.

[Dog]

Iraqis have dismounted and are taking on the US armor on foot with small arms.....these guys are suicidal.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Greta in shock and awe at the sound of tanks idling(she thinks it is machine gun fire).

[Sacajaweau]

Ollie says we turned the lights off:

Hey, Sh** happens (and it also gives an opportunity for a little infiltration into Baghdad.)

[Armed Civilian]

Teary eyed and goose bumped up on that one. I am proud to be an AMERICAN.

[retrokitten]

("Oh, look! PeaceWithIssues favors SmellyBedHead, don't you think?" "And JoyOfSax looks remarkably like BigDumbArkansasPogh.")

LOL!! I think Smellybedhead was just on H&C.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

The DUmmies are ashamed of their looks.

They have a rule there that you have to have ( I think ) 100 posts, be a DUer in good standing, and promise to gratify Bill Clinton in order to get emailed the link to the DU photo album.

[Fledermaus]

I have a cable modem, would that work with a ATI card?

But I have a tv next to me also, so really no need!

[Timeout]

Ollie says the tanks are ready to "head into the city in a VERY FAST MOVE"...high speed occupation?!

[gop212]

Yeah. James Taranto does a "Best of the Web today" for the WSJ. I get them sent to my email acct, which you can get done for free. It's a collection of antecdotes of events from that particular day. Usually comes out b/w noon and 3 EST. Search Taranto's archives- April 2nd WSJ. That was the whole story though.

[GOPyouth]

Ollie sounds very tired tonight.

[ztiworoh]

Ill bet Ollie didnt know the DoD said differently, he doesnt seem to be the type to sacrifice operational safety for our guys

[POGIFFMOO]

Will our tanks observe traffic laws as they go downtown?
