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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

"We're now down to the Final Four, ... , but enough about the Iraqi Army"

[Carolina]

Per Sky the airport has been renamed
Baghdad International Airport

[Timeout]

OK, is his real name Fred or did we tag him?

[pitinkie]

Great!!!! Goodnight all!

[mikegi]

Look at all that sand. It's everywhere. I wonder if our guys will ever want to go to a beach again!

[Robert A Cook PE]

How do we get through to Achmed the Adjuster and tell "Hi!"

[AFPhys]

Will look forward to it, but don't feel you need me here for this. You and nopardons can whip up the troops, lol...

Lost my SkyNews feed... time for me to get some zzzzzzzzs.

[two23]

I heard that from a Brit soldier on Fox a short while ago

[Dolphy]

See you later, sleep well.

[Carolina]

'Nite, pitinkie!

[Timeout]

I wrote CBS an email the other night and told them we're watching Ahmed. Told them, when this is all over, to go find him and interview him on the BagCam. Who knows whether they read their mail over there.

[DollyCali]

Good article.. thanks . I emailed it to "my lit"

[countre]

Richard Engel, ABC News.

[nopardons]

I've heard and read the speech, though admittedly, I only read it once. I found it powerful . Those who don't know it, should read and digest it; every word of it !

I have to read the NSS-USA document. Yes, I will study it. :-)

[Timeout]

Bravo! Well Done!

How did you find it?

[Carolina]

That's him! Our hapless BagCam guy.

[two23]

"Look at all that sand. It's everywhere. I wonder if our guys will ever want to go to a beach again!"

(the only guy on the beach in a flack jacket and gas mask hanging on his back.)

Sometimes the embedded reporters interview a soldier and when he pats him on the shoulder...the dust just PLUMES off of him. It's in EVERYTHING. They eat it, wear it, and breathe it.

[Dolphy]

After we have both studied the NSS document we will be ready to engage in a full discussion with those interested:)

[Timeout]

Pitiful to think millions of Americans get their news from a guy who didn't even know we'd taken the airport.

[MEG33]

Here's to the Samaritans who helped Jessica.
