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,...

Can tanks be repaired in the field if they're still salvageable?

Hadn't you heard? Duct tape works wonders. Don't leave home without it.

[The Wizard]

Troops 6 miles out, over 9000 prisoners, suburbs of Bagland taken

[nicmarlo]

Colonel Hunt said on O'Reilly last night that he believed that Saddam is on life support. Then, almost as an aside, he muttered, "and that's sourced". They then moved on to someone else, so that's all that was said.

I saw that, too....makes me wonder where he's on life support....they must know.

[Carolina]

Sky is showing video of Jessica's rescue that was being beamed back live as it was happening.

hehehehe

HOON SAYS UK TROOPS WILL GO FURTHER INTO BASRA AT TIME OF THEIR CHOOSING - REUTERS ^

[Timeout]

Sheesh! Check out this line from a NY Times editorial describing Private Jessica Lynch:

...she saw the Army as a way to pay for college and qualify to teach in an elementary school. To many, she represents all the support staff and reserve soldiers suddenly plunged into danger by this war.

Note there is no sense of her volunteering....no, she was plunged into war. This from the ole gray lady who, we learned last night, requested an op ed piece from Larry Eagleberger...but only if he would criticize the Bush administration. He said he wouldn't be critical...they revoked the request.

[Carolina]

LOLOL! Good one!

[chigung]

:)

thanks

[prairiebreeze]

I'm emailing Joe Scarborough at MSNBC as we speak to encourage his show to jump all over the Eagleberger story. Leave it to the Slimes to try to downplay and minimize a hero's story.

Beautiful interveiwing with the parents of the Corporal who saved an Iraqi woman during the fire fight Bob Arnet reported in on.

The focus on the story was the Corporals' Christianity.

[Big Bad Bob]

What happens next, is that the Tory defence chief will give the Tories reply, Hoon will acknoledege, perhaps give a little more detail, then the Liberals will give their opinion and vice-versa. Then depending on how many people want to have their say that will be the case.

Nice to see that even here in good ol' Folkestone, England that I as a life-long Tory voter and patriot/nationalist can be of assistance to the cause.

Oh and the Info minister has just said that we are NOT in control of Umm Qasr! Must be in bloody denial, msut be worried where he can continue his Gobbels-like Propaganda. I thinks that the Syrians might need his help, they are going to need a damm sight more than that anyway!

[Carolina]

Sky Jeremy Thompson in Basra went with some troops and found Chemical Ali's house.

[umbagi]

Wow, Veep guy on now (NTV)!

Guess I'm gonna have to stay up for him and the CENTCOM briefing.

His English isn't as good as Bob's... Moaning about us hitting civilians, and waving some paper, saying that we came to their warehouses and stole all their food, and left a signed document admitting it.

Says we have "shortages of coalition forces in that area," so we had to steal food (1,170 kilos) from their poor people to feed our troops!

He's nearly as good as Bob -- just needs to work on the accent...

[oceanperch]

Baghdad Bob has the worst case of denial I have ever witnessed.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Britain says over 9,000 Iraqis now POWs

But this must by more lies! Baghdad Bob said so!

[GRRRRR]

I can't wait to see the video of Beret-Bob giving his next briefing...Saturday AM?? And seeing a SpecOps guy tap him on the shoulder and say..."Bobbi...you've got some 'splaining to dooo"....


God Bless USA

[Carolina]

One more question, Bob. Would you explain why the MPs pop up like jacks-in-boxes? Is this how they are recognized by the presiding officer? Oops, I guess that was 2 questions.

[An.American.Expatriate]

FULL DENIAL MODE = ON : Iraq laughs off reports of US troops near Baghdad ^

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Welcome Dog and everyone! (I am sorry)!
