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,...

Another boomer!

[adaven]

Yes, heard a second one

[Carolina]

Third one.

[Catspaw]

We're comin' for you, Saddam...and it won't be long.

[Jaded]

I hear the booms on the bagcam and the dogs barking. There's someone near by talking and occassionally rustling paper.

[BreitbartSentMe]

Maybe today's the day???

[PrivateIdaho]

And my hubby's uncle lives in International Falls, Minnesota. He thinks we're a bunch of southern crybabies

LOL - I know what that's like, my sister-in-law is from Cut Bank, Montana. On any given day, you can pretty much bet on either International Falls or Cut Bank being the coldest place in the country.

[knak]

cbs must be delayed. they sound like they're shooting from there not to there?

[prairiebreeze]

Yeah, I've read about the flies swarming on the food on various articles on FR. That would 'splain the bats.

Prairie

[allodialman]

sounds like rifle shots to me.

[alameda]

Sounds like very big explosion then thunder.. there's another

[ztiworoh]

I have a feeling the battle for Baghdad won't just be a day, but yes, it's coming in the next 24 hours Im sure

[null and void]

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh darn. I was just getting ready to join in the pick on you party.

[RobFromGa]

I just found this with a google search on the guys name and story title in quotes, here is link PA Altving.com

"An Elite Athlete" is historical fiction. There is no specific person as "Mike Smith". The activities depicted in the story are not based on any specific operation. I made them up in my head in about 45 minutes. I was watching CNN the night before and saw a big bomb score a direct hit on the Republican Palace in Baghdad and then, minutes later, saw a lone white Mercedes sedan on a CNN remote camera leaving the area. I thought, "Hmmmm, that's interesting." Then I came in here the next morning and wrote the story. That's it.

Still an awesome story, but not true, alas.

[Dolphy]

I meant to mention the other night, when you posted your site, you have a beautiful family.

[Warren_Piece]

Please, Lord, let it not be chemical artillery !

[Carolina]

Distant rumbles.

[SoldiersGirl]

I tried CBS and CNN cam links..no luck
help

[adaven]

Sounds like small arms fire to me, but I'm listening through my cheesy laptop speakers.

[retrokitten]

Well, post a link.

Or are you talking about this thread that I already posted a link to about 100 posts ago? PFC Lynch Not Shot, Stabbed
