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,...

Night SG!

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.

I saw that earlier today. What do you do? Surround the mosque and wait them out? Could be a long wait. I like the idea on the new sonic weapon we supposedly have now that we tested at Tora Bora. It sends a strong sound wave that disrupts your body and you go into a fetal position when hit. Temporary loss of senses. Would the Muslims go bananas if we turned it on the rats in the mosques?

[Mo1]

From replay .. Arnot didn't have a helmet but saw an Iraqi helmet on the side of the road and grab it and put it on

[bornintexas]

"our wounds".....the reason i thought he said our wounds because i immediately thought, "oh no, someone is wounded."

sure hope there is a transcript! that was too cool. that is the second time i've heard dr. bob in a firefight. he is great in detailing what is going on.

[spectr17]

nite

[umbagi]

got a fast phone call from my husband

That's great!

Hope you had time to tell him a few thousand Freepers were proud of him!

u

[texxie]

I doubt if that is what he was thinking - more than likely he got a mic stuck in his face

I'm not watching this on tv btw

[Hunble]

I have the CBS BagCam running....

It is just my imagination, or have I heard tracked vehicles moving around this pisition in the last few minutes?

I have my audio at full volume.

[spectr17]

somebody said helos were flying by earlier. I have no Bag cams to watch :(

[unspun]

Many years and 10 seconds after running from a fire fight, the family was offered "chicken or beef" and the mom laughed. Has to be my personal highlight of the war.

Well, yeah. Not only that, but complete with an American play-by-play man with Hollywood looks and a microphone, doing interviews.... America is here!

[toddly]

I thought I saw a helmet in the reckage on that footage. I hope I'm wrong...

[piasa]

From replay .. Arnot didn't have a helmet but saw an Iraqi helmet on the side of the road and grab it and put it on

Isn't that a bit like putting on a set of antlers in deer season?

[spectr17]

It wouldn't surprise me if coalition tanks were rolling down Baghdad Ave.

[JLS]

Actually, the Sunni of the Saddam regime have taken up in an important Shiite Mosque. They want the US to harm it and upset the Shiite population of South Iraq. The US has smartly not taken that bait.

[Mo1]

I hadn't seen that post .. but I have to admit that I am not surprised at all

Sounds like a number of deals were made

[AFPhys]

There is no reason for any war the US engages in to be any more difficult than this. The poor libs need to get used to this - we're not going to risk any more of our men's lives than we have to, and will be merciful but utterly destructive, to our enemies. It is nearly impossible to overstate the military advantage our good fighting men have over the rest of the world.

[GOPyouth]

Just did a quick rewind of my tape. The quote was: We're going to withdraw a little bit, and uh..move back a little bit, lick our wounds, and do whatever Lt. Mayor tells us.

[Consort]

Just normal street traffic on the BagCam right now.
