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,...

..."where do we find such men"?

God bless and protect them.

[Green]

Good Morning all!

I don't think they have blown up a bridge yet, Timeout.

[Carolina]

Have the 'raqis successfully blown even ONE bridge?

Not a one yet.

[Hamilton2]

Good morning all! Just a quick comment and I am off to work.

My concern is that it has been way too easy. I worry that these Iraqi bad guys have enough American uniforms that they are hiding in town and then will attack our guys from within OR Sadam has the whole town wired to blow up thinking he can blame the US once it implodes.

[Timeout]

Gen. Brooks is so much more confident. He's figured out these press folks are irrelevant back home.

[oceanperch]

Wow Brooks reporting that are Marines delivered a baby yesterday. Wouldn't that be a priceless pic.

[Right_in_Virginia]

General Brooks just showed a picture of our troops helping a wounded "combatant"...with gas masks on because there was an incoming missle. Incredible honor.

[Timeout]

Go here:

Urban Warfare: US Advantage

[Carolina]

Wow Brooks reporting that are Marines delivered a baby yesterday. Wouldn't that be a priceless pic.

Isn't that incredible? Okay, how's Kicky Katie Couric gonna square with this story?

[KSCITYBOY]

Did the press ask if the Marines we now stealing fresh babies?

[Right_in_Virginia]

If it was a boy, do you think the mother will name the baby "George"?

[prairiebreeze]

Okay, how's Kicky Katie Couric gonna square with this story?

Ignore it prolly

Prairie

[Green]

LOL! Did you see that view of the front row of the pressers and that one guy with the glasses and mustache taking a heavy sigh and looking so totally bored??? Guess he is disappointed with the impressive videos and pictures.

[Carolina]

Our guys are cleaning up schools. Showing the good our guys are doing. Uh-oh. Smiling children.

[prairiebreeze]

Can you tell us under what conditions and when you will enter Baghdad? Oh here we go with the dumb questions!

Prairie

[AFPhys]

It sounds like some Iraqis didn't do a very good job of following the instructions in their "How to blow up an oil well" manual.

[Carolina]

Question about FA-18?

Brooks confirming. Too early for determination of cause.

Question about the decision to go into B-dad?

Brooks: It's Tommy's decision. Can't predict how fighting will unfold.

[mystery-ak]

I wish we would take out that statue of Saddam in Baghdad...Im sick of looking at it.

[Carolina]

I wish we would take out that statue of Saddam in Baghdad...Im sick of looking at it.

Soon, very soon.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The pilot of the FA-18 ejected. I hope they retrieve him! (or her)
