IIRC, a couple weeks ago, we suggested a daily thread. Someone posted a thread about what we will do when war starts. And you expect me to find it.....hahahaha. Do you all know, we have had over one hundred new users per day since 2-3-03. Yesterday we had 350, the day before that 333. And Yesterday, we broke the all time FR record of number of thread and posts posted? Over 35,000. Here you go, very interesting, and not top secret. Also, we broke Alexis top 500 web sites in the world. It's just been a tad busy. Suprisingly, the number of trolls hasn't increased proportionaly. I can't speak for all mods, but I really enjoy this part of being a mod. Talking to people, answering questions, etc. I wish we had more time for it.

Maybe it's a tribute to Robert Byrd.

Am I the only one that gets the impression that we are getting more resistance than most expected? Remember the talk of the regular army units would likely lay down pretty quick? Nothing we can't handle, but still...

No, I have the same impression. Like we're advancing but not totally unimpeded. I seem to recall less resistance the last time around. Then again, (1) I was fairly young during the 1991 war and (2) our objective to advance to Baghdad is clear this time. I'm hopeful that surrenders will increase exponentially after more communications are disrupted and/or more of the command structure is eliminated.

HUH? I thought they were Marines who were killed in battle. I've not seen names released from the copter crash (that I know of.)

Um... What's that thing in front of the CBS BaghdadCam?

I was watching it as two guys walked in front of the cam carrying the sign. I caught a glimpse of the front of the sign and it looked like a portrait of Saddam. I'm not sure though, it was pretty fast and I can't remember how many beers I've had.

Found on another thread that Ted Koppel is with the 3rd Infantry. They captured a bridge and soon an airfield in SE Iraq. IIRC, they'll likely be heading north towards the SE side of Baghdad.
