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,...

[Mr.Crimson]

Whats up with that?

[An.American.Expatriate]

This is embarrassing, but I apparently made a major mistake in the body of the thread.

Can you please correct my typo in the first line?

From some of Bob's comments, one might conclude that they are actually on the road to Damascus.

In defense of Alex Cox(?) the anchor girl (who is looking very nice tonight) she was trying to get Bob to report the battle instead of just running on about the children he's with.

[blastbaby]

Should have said "honking more than usual"

[SoldiersGirl]

marines told "Do not shoot unless fired upon" being very careful not to shoot civilians, trying to get them to surrender before more have to die
this is unreal

[Consort]

We're fighting a just war in a moral way.

[null and void]

Other than that an excellent start to a thread. Looks like everyone is happy with it.

[stlnative]

Did Arnot say the building that the RG is hold up in is only 300 feet away from them?

[Mr.Crimson]

Hah! Take that CNN

[spectr17]

I hear occassional small amrs fire from Marines it sounds like

[unspun]

We understand. ;-)

[Robert A Cook PE]

That anchor should have realized that not even Bob Madden can discuss the Super Bowl if he's running around on the field in the middle of the play, nor while he's standing on the line of scrimage just before the ball is snapped.

[SoldiersGirl]

Of course we are. We're Americans.

[null and void]

We're fighting a just war in a moral way.

Humbling, isn't it?

[spectr17]

They must be close if they are using a loud speaker to tell enemy to surrender

[stlnative]

Arnot is with the 1st Marine Exped in Al Kut near a bridge on Tigris River

[MEG33]

During wartime we have suspended spelling,complete sentences and grammar.This is an official but necessary ruling!

[Aaron0617]

aaarrrggg...what kind of radios did the French sell them?

[unspun]

I don't get FoxNews. CNN alternates between banal/boring and infuriating. MSNBC has been really on top of things, more often than not. (But not more often than Arnot!)

[Mo1]

Oh man .. my computer crashed on me and had to reboot
