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,...

You are talking about the rules. It is not ok if the unit commander is thinking I will run over to the embedded media and report right after the fire fight. Commanders can get distracted just like troops.

[SoldiersGirl]

gotcha, and I know exactly how you feel.

[bornintexas]

"licking our wounds".....
that's what i thought i heard also

[JLS]

No report yet on the pilot.

[MEG33]

Life amid the chaos. It was priceless.

[spectr17]

Arnott did say "lick our wounds". Not real good wording to say on live TV. It implies casualties.

[knak]

I'm goin to bed. Goodnight all.

[SoldiersGirl]

hmm
I'm sure someone will make a transcript of that, or maybe we'll be able to see the full video of it?
I really thought they said THEIR and I was typing as they were saying it...

[spectr17]

nite

[Grenada]

Centcom reporting that Iraqis are firing from mosques and describing the action as a last, desperate attempt. We will NOT fire on the mosques, and are calling the actions despicable.

[SoldiersGirl]

I guess that means my building is safe :-)

[SoldiersGirl]

replaying some of the tape

[Mo1]

Good night knak

[Diddle E. Squat]

Partial replay now on MSNBC

[Grenada]

night.

[Mr.Crimson]

The anchor they have is really terrible

[DollyCali]

I was so annoyed about 4 when I was driving to the spot where I was meeting to bike.. RAdio talk show (Clear Channel in clveland) are primarily sports show hosts. But they are trying to be war coverage experts. The Man Trevesano stated this isn't a real war, it is too easy.. comparing it with other wars. He is pro bush & war at this point (although one year ago he was neither) but just was shooting off his mouth so ignorantly. I was actually embarrased. At our Rally for AMerica he embarrased me when he was on stage. When I saw the class of the radio show anchors at the Valley Forge rally, I was so impressed & felt cheated.

Well, after scanning the radio, I just turned on the Cd.

So thaniks guys for helping me to catch up.

My two 2-3 weeks with FReepers has convinced me you guys are great & I will be meeting some first haNd tonight (thurs) at a Rep meeting in Mentor. I CANNOT WAIT

[SoldiersGirl]

I have to go to bed, I really hope I don't dream about all of that.
night all.

[null and void]

'nuff for now. Mañana...

[unspun]

I heard about it Monday morning on the radio, in my suburban home. Outrageous!!!! Did you see this? Another Free Republic SCOOP for the books!:
