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,...

Of course that's a guy!

[Pro-Bush]

[knak]

Lynch should take a pic with her weapon...would easily win a month in the next G. Gordon Liddy 'Stacked and Packed' calendar!

[Fledermaus]

ROFL

Frontline poster girl.....

Support our troops....

[Capitalism2003]

The American inspectors have arrived...

God bless our heroes!

... what is known by my children as the "mother sweep",that was usually in the car when I yelled "Quit fighting" and swept my right arm back sweeping the back seat with blows to everything not crunched down. They say it was cruel and abusive. We usually drove in peace after that.

Who said violence never solves anything?

[Mo1]

Are those grenades???

The embedded reporter on Nightline is reporting that busloads of civilians/soldiers are surrendering to the frontline soldiers he is with. He said they left Baghdad last night and that there are 100's of them.

[JLS]

So the open issues are:

1. The F-18 pilot.
2. The number of personnel on the Blackhawk.
3. The Chem/Bio weapons watch.

[dogbyte12]

Today should be a very curious day. What does Iraq do, what do we do, on a very warm day in Bagdad?

Our soldiers are in MOPP 2 right now outside the city, do we run them in closer at 95 degrees in heavy clothing, wait til nightfall? Move just a little further, tricking some RG out while we let the fly boys take them out?

I am not sure, so I will wait and see.

[Pro-Bush]

Nice...I wish I had that poster.

[Fledermaus]

That's it for now.

re: post # 2912 (previous day's thread) F18 shoot down/rescue source-

[Retrofire]

Does anyone know what the deal is with those Iraqi mystery ships that Britain and the U.S. discussed prior to the war beginning?

There was much discussion in the news that several freighters were trolling the seas and not putting into any ports...Generally maintaining radio silence. Speculation was that these ships were carrying banned weapons and other incriminating evidence - Since they apparently left Umm Qasr just as UNMOVIC was arriving.

It seems that now would be the perfect time to board these vessels for a "safety inspection."
