GOTTA SEE THIS - War for Enduring Freedom 4/8/03 - Presidential Thunder Run, Baghdad

BREAKING: Presidential palace - Thunder Run
BREAKING: Baghdad - Sahaf press conference interrupted
BREAKING: South Baghdad - Behind Enemy Lines

---

========= Baghdad =========

At the presidential palace. Incoming.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

At the presidential palace, as US troops advance,
Iraqi soldiers run. Those black figures in the foreground running.along the Tigris River
under supressive fire from coalition tanks are not ants, but terrorists. Local shock and awe.

---

Terrorist controlled Baghdad..

---

=========== Presidential Thunder Run ===========

Entering the presidential palace, US forces take a prize from the terrorists.

---

Later, at the presidential palace.

---

In Baghdad, at the international --Coalition controlled-- airport.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

GEEZER ALERT

Utterly insane in Baghdad
Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf calls a conference.
The terrorist geezers in control explain to the docile press [at the Palestinian hotel]
that the US is losing. However, this particular piece of BS PR is interrupted by Coalition forces
knocking on the terrorists' door. Duck and cover, Mr. Terrorist.

---

========= South Baghdad Near Battle lines=========

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

One US tank was taken by what the Iraqis boast is Russian technology.
Much soon-to-be-ephemeral hubris in these terrorists. So much for trusting Putin.

---

---

NOTA BENE: COALITION ALERT

Fleeing terrorists dressed in civilian clothes like in Southern Iraq

---

========= Baghdad =========

Outside Baghdad, securing the key bridge into Baghdad.

Please spend a few hours today helping for success in the War for Enduring Freedom,
or/and post your thought, missive, picture, thread, analysis, greetings to those serving overseas,
venting, update, correction, observation, or anything else of interest.

Just wondering, I would love some of the furniture and fixtures, wondering if there will be a salvage operation or even a palace tag/garage sale.

The Thunder Rolls
Written by: - Pat Alger - Garth Brooks

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

3rd Verse:
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been >/i>

Gifts from the USA.

A Jordanian man carries a pack labeled 'Gift of the people of the United States of America' from the United States agency for international development US-AID in a suburb of Amman April 7, 2003. Nine 40-feet-containers with woolen blankets, personal hygiene kits, plastic sheets for shelter, water jugs and water containers have been unloaded into an Amman warehouse on Monday, waiting to be deployed either by truck or by plane to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

I wonder how long it will be before someone starts selling those corny Saddam pictures as souvenirs on Ebay?? They would make great targets !!

[Lady Jag]

Here's one:

A combat engineer to U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry division stands on a removed portrait of Iraq (news - web sites)'s President Saddam Hussein at Baghdad's International airport as the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry division start to attack a presidential palace and the south eastern parts of Iraq's capital early April 7, 2003. More U.S. forces from the 3rd Infantry division are pushing into Iraq's capital.

"That soldier can thank his lucky stars he's not in New York. Mike Bloomberg would have him arrested for smoking indoors."

One-term Mike deserves the Royal treatment, if you know what I mean.

Ya think the Marines could come and liberate us Republicans living in NYC some time?

[Grampa Dave]

Great Job Dio!

Between your great threads, Fox News and the good Freepers, we know what is really happening in Iraq.

RIP ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps like NY Slimes to the LA Slimes and covering all fishwraps from NYC to the left coast.

This morning, that picture of our boys resting up in the "presidential" chairs was the first thing I saw. I gave a big ol' rebel yell and got tears in my eyes! God bless our troops and keep them safe!

[PistolPaknMama]

Hey Joe, I wonder what the poor people are doing tonight?

LOL! I was trying to think of a good caption, but yours is the best!

[Humidston]

Mega gigga BUMPS!!

'Gift of the people of the United States of America'

Ah, those greedy capitalists strike again. /sarcasm off

[Lady Jag]

Maybe someday they'll return the favor. After all, they could end up richer than us.
