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]

Thats all we will see in the headlines tomorrow I am sure

[spectr17]

Lt. Col. Mission accomplished. Moving out to next objective.

Last incoming was from enemy ammo dump rounds cooking off 200 meters away.

[Consort]

When the baby was crying the anchor cut it off momentarily.

[MEG33]

Marines take and usually someone else holds.

[unspun]

Well... O-K everyone... what are our takeaway points, here?

z);->

[Mr.Crimson]

Wooo Hoooo! Our guys are awesome!

[SoldiersGirl]

ooohhhh
yeah she did huh, I didn't realize that
I'm sort of glad they chickened out, sorry, but if there had been something like the mom getting shot, I might have had a lil breakdown

[MEG33]

I am spent!

[BreitbartSentMe]

our soldiers ROCK!

[spectr17]

There's an airfield near Al Kut and they may be after that if they haven't captured it alredy.

[Mr.Crimson]

Total Suspense

[Mo1]

WOW, that was an amazing report on MSNBC by Bob Arnott

YOu can say that again .. WOW!! .. my heart still hasn't stopped beating so fast .. and I'm sitting here in my house

WOW!!! ..

[GOPyouth]

I'm very interested if something will come of what happened just a minute ago when that reporter asked what we were doing and the soldier said we were backing up to lick our wounds..then changed his statement and said that we were going to retreat back to our previous spot before the battle. I look at this compared to Geraldo drawing a line in the sand. We'll see I guess.

[Grenada]

All I can say is, WOW. I really think(if ya didn't notice) that the anchor should have kept quiet and let arnot go..he was great and it was an entralling expeience.

[MEG33]

God bless the Marines.

[SoldiersGirl]

oh, I thought he said they were going to back off and let the iraqi's lick their wounds.

[MEG33]

Right. she was not helpful

[texxie]

the RG is licking their wounds not our guys

[BreitbartSentMe]

I heard him say that we were going to pull back, and LET THEM lick THEIR wounds....

[spectr17]

I'm very interested if something will come of what happened just a minute ago when that reporter asked what we were doing and the soldier said we were backing up to lick our wounds..then changed his statement and said that we were going to retreat back to our previous spot before the battle.

One huge difference. The MSNBC reporters didn't say exactly where they were pulling back to and what time. Geraldo did. Ambush is a lot easier when you know the what, when and where.
