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,...

We were talking about this today. We first need to get control of the country so we can look for them the military way. Besides, I believe Syria is a part if Iraq.

Can an Abrams fit through McDonalds drive-thru?

[dogbyte12]

Have Clinton take over. Look at how he would fit in...

1. Long flowery speech that is full of platitudes and BS.
2. Multiple Wives
3. Endless conferences
4. Did I mention multiple wives?

[Socratic]

Best laugh all day! Who would have guessed that a month ago all I would have to do was go to "Google", type in "Hitlery" and find such a place as Free Republic?

[fiesti]

did anyone see that big yellow truck go by the bag cam ?? what kind was it

[Ramius]

We've got less time before Mickey D's shuts down the hotcakes and sausage. It's daylight savings in Baghdad today. It's almost 8AM. I'll have a Sausage McMuffin with Egg, large OJ and hash browns please.

Of course, when spoken into the little speaker from an Abrams... it gives a whole new meaning to DRIVE THRU.

"You want fries with that?"

[knak]

what's this I keep reading about Myers saying we may not siege baghdad? May just isolate it. Any comments?

Can an Abrams fit through McDonalds drive-thru?

No problem. The arches may come tumbling down.

NBC, David Shuster at CENTCOM: Air campaign was much more effective than thought at first

Adding just a bit from Shuster's remarks...CENTCOM expected "stiff" resistance at airport; lack thereof is highly encouraging.

Shuster also says CENTCOM was correct about the location of the RG units a couple of days ago - they did not retreat into the city, or melt away - they were "obliterated" by our airpower.

Congrats on 4000 Poser!!

Can an Abrhams fit through Mickey D's drive through??

I'll bet it can, with a little effort (or perhaps a little ordinance).

[Timeout]

If they wait for nightfall, can all those armored columns just stay out in the open like that?

So who's gonna stop 'em?

[Poser]

Thank you. I'm so happy. I don't have to pay attention anymore.

[Armed Civilian]

You win best post on this page.

If at all possible, we should take the downtown commercial and governmental and diplomatic portion of Baghdad and leave the residential portion for later. Need to leave a couple of Bradleys and Abrams parked just outside the French Embassy with the guns pointed in an appropriate direction.

[Nam Vet]

Hi Bud. Welcome aboard newbie. Have a loota fun and get edumacated.

This is all part of Saddam's double secret war plan...suck us all the way in to downtown and start ticketing like crazy, I'm tellin you the Denver Boots are coming next.

[dogbyte12]

Banana Republic could move in right away to the Saddam mall.. We could have a Kabala "GAP" up and running soon, I think the possibilities are endless.

[commish]

Heck an M1 could "fit Through" the entire Mickey D's if it wanted too LOL

The young man lost in the Blackhawk that went down yesterday lived about 10 miles from me.
