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,...

I'm sure there some of our guys going nuts waiting to see what we did to the bunkers and what wthey will find. It'll probably be a while before they tell us something.

FOX saying Pentagon is worried that the blackout was done to possibly do something terrible to the Shia population in Baghdad...maybe the reason Al-Jazeera waas kicked out.

[Air Force Born]

Yep. Big Bend is in Texas

Danke

[pitinkie]

Let there be light on the Cam!

[Miss Marple]

Major Garrett says Pentagon and Coalition forces are concerned that the blackout signals some sort of attempt to inflict harm on the citizens of Baghdad by the Iraqi regime, particularly the Shiia that live in the eastern portion of the city.

[pitinkie]

Bitte.

[knak]

can anyone get to the main page of msnbc or fox? I can't.

[lorrainer]

Bookmarking...

It's not mine.. it's a Hamlet speech by Shakespeare. A smile at the right times saves a life.

[valleygal]

I've felt (or at least hoped) all along that they would line the streets and cheer. It's good to know it's happening. I pray for their safety, though. It's getting even scarier.

[retrokitten]

That could be true, but what I am curious about are these webcams. Does the Iraqi gov. not know abou them? There seem to be other reporters there judging from the lady who popped up on the cam earlier and when they panned around there were those bright TV lights.

[commish]

I have been waiting for that to happen ... massacre the Shiia then blow the bridges over the Tigris.

[Cboldt]

Fox says one tunnel goes all the way to the river.

The layout of Saddam International doesn't appear to lend itself to under-tramac, or under-runway tunnels. There are two terminal buildings, connected by a roadway. A tunnel to river seems odd.

Isn't the swing of topic amazing? Less than 3 weeks ago, concerns about the UN's inaction. Then Bush and Blair set out the future course from the Azores on the 16th, UN scrambled on the 17th, bush gave Saddam 48 hours, and he wasn't kidding. Now we are talking about the tunnels under an Iraqi airport!

[Sacajaweau]

Time to tie a couple of birds to a roof. Looks like the flying bats could be a sign for nothing bad in the air. Maybe that is what they are for.

After a while when she told us she had a tooth loose, we'd ,"go play with your brother." :)

When I was about six years old my five year old brother knocked my two front teeth out when we were boxing.

Very possible, and I'm sure there will be a strong response from us if they do

Well gotta head .. daughter has a doctors appointment for her ears .. BBL

[epluribus_2]

and Southwest Airlines has announced several new Spring Getaway supersaver packages to New Baghdad.

[epluribus_2]

from us and a lot of crazed shiites.
