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 suspect "to the river" simply means "as far as the river", not meaning there is necessarily an exit there. I will believe this is simply a transport tunnel toward central Baghdad until otherwise reported.

The important tunnels are not going to be this easy to access, especially with all the rubble of those "Palaces" blocking the entrances.

[epluribus_2]

can attest to that. Lots and lots of Africa-lookin flat brushland with no utils and hours seem like days driving across'em.

[Consort]

Very true.

[valleygal]

Isn't the swing of topic amazing?

Yep, and most of the media were saying things have been going too slowly!!!

[commish]

Heyyy look another Taped Sadamm appearance on the ntv CAM.

[bvw]

Now that's "found poetry"!

[rumrunner]

Anyone have the link to the N-TV camera?

[AppyPappy]

Saddam! My man!

[Carolina]

CHIRAC'S APOLOGY TO QUEEN

[knak]

he looks like a fat slob

[Consort]

NTV BagCam showing another Saddam body double film.

[Dawgmeister]

How Rupaul?

[commish]

too bad Jackie Gleason isn't alive .. he would have been perfect to play saddam in the movie.

[epluribus_2]

people on CNN probably speaking in grave, slow tones regarding the latest Message from the Iraqi Leader... LOL

[Cboldt]

I just assumed "the river" was a reference to the Euphrates, away from the city, but looking again at the map, the Tigris is indeed closer.

I agree with you, it is unlikely to be part of any "secret" or otherwise militrily/regime valuable network. The WDC subway system, etc. is not connected to the military/political bunker and tunnel system "nearby."

[valleygal]

Praying we don't have massacres in the city and have it blamed on us. If the city is goona fall from within it better start faliing soon!

[AFPhys]

Anyone who wants a real hoot: check out Fisk's latest update on the troubles our Armed Forces face in "Arab News".

It is listed right now on the "Extended News" header, or you can search on the word "impenetrable"... He's gonna be real disappointed when he finds out Baghdad Int'l has been taken.

[Warren_Piece]

Remember on election night 2000 when Begala described the FL panhandle as "Alabama without the blacks". I was in shock. I have loathed him ever since.

[Mrs.Liberty]

thank you...the word escaped me..I kept thinking hubcap. ;)

[Cboldt]

CNN reporting Iraqi authorities have order its people to walk toward Saddam International Airport.

I'm not making that up. Seems a very strange order.
